What do you think is the biggest strength in your game?

What are you most trying to improve on in your game?
"I am most trying to improve on maintaining consistency throughout each golf shot."
What was your experience like competing in the US Women's Amateur this summer?
"Playing in the US Am for the first time was an amazing experience and I was happy with my performance but I would have also loved to take it further in the tournament."
The tournament took place at San Diego Country Club, and also competing were fellow wildcats
Haley Moore, and
Krystal Quihuis. Stoll finished the stroke play section of the US Women's Amateur at 2-over par. She would win two matches in the match play section reaching the Round of 16.
What are your expectations for yourself as the fall season is ending and moving into the spring season?
"Looking forward towards the spring, my goal is to put myself in the position to be in contention to win events."
Stoll looks to be the third different Wildcat to win an individual tournament this season following
Bianca Pagdanganan at the Dick McGuire Invitational and
Haley Moore at the Golfweek Conference Challenge.
What are your expectations for yourself and the team going forward?
"Moving forward I would like to see myself improve and as I said, give myself the opportunity to win tournaments. As a team, I would love to see all of our games begin to gel and get some momentum going heading into the spring, so we put ourselves in the position to win as a team, as well."
The Wildcats will next travel to Kona, Hawaii for the Nanea Pac-12 Preview on Oct. 23-24. In last years event, Stoll tied for fourth place, shooting 2-under par for the tournament.
