Borovilos Wins Waco Regional; Sends Aggies to Carlsbad
May 13, 2026 | Women's Golf
WACO – The No. 4 Texas A&M Women's golf team advanced through the Waco Regional by coming in second as a squad behind a program record and individual championship from Vanessa Borovilos Wednesday at the Ridgewood Country Club.
Borovilos shot a 10-under 200 for the tournament and 5-under 65 in the final round, which set a new program record for a 54-hole score at a regional, besting Jennie Park's 8-under 208 in 2022. The sophomore won the title by four shots over TCU's Kirstin Angosta (-6), who was the lone individual on a non-advancing team to move onto NCAAs.
The Aggies shot 11-under 829 as a team, which was 18 shots clear of the cut. Texas A&M will be making its fourth appearance at NCAAs during the Gerrod Chadwell era. Each of the previous three trips resulted in match play berths, including two semifinal trips (2022, 2023). The Maroon & White will make its NCAA Championships run May 22-27 at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa. Joining the Aggies in Carlsbad are SMU, Baylor, LSU and Tennessee. The Lady Vols earned the final spot after winning a playoff against Tulsa.
Borovilos was even-par thru No. 6 and then drained four straight birdies from holes 7-10 to take a commanding lead over the field. The sophomore put an exclamation point on the round with birdies on 15 and 18.
Cayetana Fernández García-Poggio tied for 10th at 2-under 208 for the week. The junior shot even-par on the day with 16 pars. Sky Sudberry went 2-under 68 for the Aggies in the final round, securing a share of 20th with fellow teammate Natalie Yen. Brynn Kort rounded out the lineup with a piece of 31st.
Texas A&M Women's Golf Quotes
Head Coach Gerrod Chadwell on the team advancing…
"This feels amazing. We had one of the low rounds of the day, but this is more about this team 365 days ago when we did not advance through Lubbock. Our hearts were broken. We had a lot of new faces on this team with golfers that had not been through a week like this. This team coming together the way it has is what makes this so special."
Chadwell on Vanessa Borovilos's performance…
"She was starting to label herself as someone who couldn't close a tournament. The No. 1 golfer in the world was in the field and she went toe-to-toe with her for two days in the same pairing. Vanessa looked the part this week.
Borovilos on her play at the Waco Regional…
"It has been tough the last couple of months because I feel like I have been right there every week. My mind has gotten in the way in the past. These last few holes, I just kept reminding myself that my family and my team are so much more important than winning. We tend to lose sight of that when we are in the moment.
