As part of an eight women match team with the EWGA, “The Green Gang” (many U of O graduates on that team), her team won the EWGA Cup Championship, competing against 36 other teams to win a two day competition at the Reunion Golf Resort in Orlando, Florida. Five of those teams members joined three others that later formed the “Oregon Birdie Hunters” . The Oregon Birdie Hunters won the 2022 LPGA Amateur Cup, competing against 49 other teams at Horseshoe Bay Golf Resort in Texas, making Ann and four of her teammates, two time national champions in amateur team match play competition.
