FORT MILL, S.C. -- Junior Susannah Aboff outdueled Winthrop's Jutta Degerman to win the individual title at the Shamrock Intercollegiate Sunday while the Princeton women's golf team finished second overall by one shot.

Degerman was the leader after round one when she turned in the tournament's next lowest round, a 71, while Aboff started her weekend by posting a 78. Degerman finished at +7. Sophomore Michelle Grilli took third at +14 (77-76-77) to help Princeton's runner-up finish. Junior Marlowe Boukis (82-78-82--242, T-19th) finished at +26 while freshman Kate Scarpetta (79-80-84--243, 22nd) was just behind at +27 and freshman Maggie Boberg (90-81-86--257, T-49th) finished at +41. Freshman Rachel Blum competed as an individual and tied for 42nd at +36 (87-81-84--252).
Princeton's team score finished ahead of Charleston Southern, Winthrop, Iowa, Xavier, Siena, South Carolina-Upstate, South Dakota State, Gardner-Webb, Presbyterian, St. Francis (Pa.), The Citadel and Tennessee State.
