Snowboard Northwest athletes compete at USASA Nationals


COPPER MOUNTAIN, Colo. — Three Snowboard Northwest athletes recently put their shredding skills to the test at the USASA National Championships held Saturday, March 29, through Thursday, April 10, at Copper Mountain Resort. 

The event, which hosts over 1,000 snowboarders from all across the nation, features slopestyle, halfpipe, boardercross, alpine and rail jam competitions. Owen Miller and Calvin Schmidt of Sandpoint and Drew Falcone of Spokane showed off their best tricks and skills and left it all on the hill.

Miller, ranked No. 1 in the Inland Northwest Region in the Snowboard Youth 15-16 age division in slopestyle, led the way with an eighth-place finish in the second heat. Falcone finished 22nd in heat two while Schmidt glided to an 18th-place finish in heat one. After all was said and done, the 2024-25 overall national rankings for slopestyle in the Snowboard Youth 15-16 age division, which spans across five different regions of the United States, had Miller in 23rd, Schmidt in 30th and Falcone in 45th.

To round things out, later in the week Falcone went on to compete in the rail jam, eventually walking away with a 19th place ranking in his heat, which included riders ranging from 15 to 22 years of age.

TALLAHASSEE – Mirabel Ting and Lottie Woad, who have helped lead Florida State to the NCAA Championship Finals, have been named as finalists for the ANNIKA Award presented by Stifel. The pair of Seminole juniors are ranked as the No. 1 and No. 2 golfers in the World Amateur Golf Rankings (Woad, 1; Ting, 2) and the No. 1 and No. 2 golfers in the NCAA rankings by Scoreboard by Clippd (Ting, No. 1; Woad, No. 2).

It marks the second consecutive season that Woad has been named as a top-10 finalist for the ANNIKA Award. It’s the first time in her career that Ting has been named as a top-10 finalist for the award.

No. 2 ranked Florida State and No. 1 ranked Stanford are the only two schools in the nation with multiple players on the ANNIKA Award Top 10 Finalist list.

Ting, the 2025 ACC Golfer of the Year, enters the NCAA Championship Finals (May 16-21) with a career-low 68.64 stroke average and five individual victories during her junior season. Ting’s scoring average of 68.64 for eight events this year is currently the lowest single-season stroke average in school history. She has scored 13 of 22 rounds in the 60s with at least one score in the 60s coming in each of her eight events this year. Ting carded her career-low of 66 four times this spring – at the Collegiate Invitational at The Guadalajara Country Club, Briar’s Creek Invitational, the Florida State Match Up, and at the ACC Championship.

Ting has finished each of her tournaments this year below par, and is a total of 70 strokes below par for her entire junior year.

Woad, the 2024 ACC Golfer of the Year, also enters the NCAA Championship Finals with a career-low 69.906 stroke average and two individual championships during her junior season. Her scoring average of 69.96 is the second-lowest for a single-season in school history. Woad has finished in the top three in the individual standings in 11 of her last 12 tournaments, including five straight and nine of 10 during her junior season.

Woad owns the lowest career scoring average in school history at 70.40 and has earned a program record 10 top-10 individual finishes this year. She is a total of 46 strokes under par in her 10 events this season including a school-record tying 10 strokes under par in the NCAA Lexington Regional championship.

Ting and Woad have finished 1-2 amongst their teammates in seven of the eight events they have played in together during the 2024-25 season.

Florida State enters the 2025 NCAA Championships Finals ranked second (tied) by the Women’s Golf Coaches Association and third by the NCAA in the scoreboard by Clippd national rankings. The Seminoles won the 2025 ACC Championship for the first time in school history, earned the No. 1 seed in the Lexington Regional championship for the first time in school history, and won the third regional championship in school history at the Keane Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville, Ky.

Created in 2014, the ANNIKA Award presented by Stifel is annually awarded to the top female Division I collegiate golfer. The winner is voted on by players, coaches and members of the college golf media. Named for Annika Sorenstam, the award was created in partnership with the Haskins Foundation to acknowledge the top female golfer. Ingrid Lindblad of LSU won the ANNIKA Award in 2024.

2025 ANNIKA Award Finalists

Mirabel Ting, Florida State

Lottie Woad, Florida State

No.4 Cal Women’s Water Polo at NCAA Championships this weekend

In case you missed it, Cal Rugby found success in Indianapolis last Saturday when they won the D1A National Championship Final!

This weekend, it will be Cal Women’s Water Polo’s turn for glory in “The Crossroad of America”. No.4 Cal is looking to replicate and surpass their 2024 season when the Golden Bears made the NCAA Championship Final for only the second time in program history.

Of course, Cal graduated their first female Cutino Award winner, goalkeeper Isabel Williams. 2024 was also an Olympic year that greatly disrupted spring season sports like women’s water polo — many top players took the year off to train with their national team, including Cal’s top 2025 scorer Ruby Swadling with the Australian National Team.

No.1 Stanford (22-1) got three USA Olympians: Jenna Flynn, Ryann Neushul, and Jewel Roemer, back from a Team USA squad that finished 4th in the Paris 2024 Games. The trio was instrumental in helping Stanford win the 2023 NCAA title; two of them (Neushul and Roemer) were also there for the 2022 NCAA crown.

Also in the mix are No.2 UCLA (19-5), the defending NCAA champion that went 26-0 in 2024 including a 7-4 win in the championship final over Cal at Berkeley, and No.3 USC (27-4), who Cal did just beat 13-12 in the MPSF 3rd place match two weekends ago (this was Cal’s first win over USC since 2011).

Cal (19-5) will open against the 4th-seed and Big West champion Hawaii (21-4) at 11 AM PT, Friday. Hawaii was responsible for the Bears’ first loss of the season in late February via a 12-11 result. Cal defeated Hawaii in the NCAA semifinal last year. A Friday victory will surely pit the winner against Stanford (it is a given that they will get past Wagner) on Saturday at 9 AM PT.

The NCAA Championship final will be played at 9 AM PT on Sunday. The championship final will be on ESPNU, while NCAA.com will have the other matches.

Redshirt freshman Talia Fonseca has taken over as Cal’s top goalkeeper this year, averaging 7.3 saves per game. Fonseca earned All-MPSF honorable mentions for her solid season in front of the cage.

Offensively, senior attacker Ruby Swadling leads Cal with 55 goals. Redshirt senior Elena Flynn adds 48 goals. Freshman Miriam Bogachenko is tied with sophomore Julia Bonaguidi with 36 goals apiece. 13 different Bears have tallied double digits in goals this year.

Senior utility Rozanne Voorvelt earned an All-MPSF honorable mention for her defensive play and the team’s 6th-best tally of 29 goals.

In addition to that win over the USC Trojans, Cal also played UCLA tough in the MPSF semifinal at UCLA before falling 15-14. Sophomore center Feline Voordouw registered a hat trick against USC. Arguably, the Golden Bears are playing their best water polo right now.

Even as the underdog for potentially all three matches this weekend, Cal cannot be counted out. It will take some inspired team effort, but the Golden Bears are battle-tested and should be playing free with a nothing-to-lose attitude.
