Women's Golf Wins Georgetown's Hoya Invitational
April 05, 2016 | Women's Golf
Getting three players in the top seven and all four scorers tied for no lower than 12th overall, the Princeton women's golf team expanded on its lead and claimed the Georgetown Hoya Invitational title Tuesday at the Members Club at Four Streams in Beallsville, Md.
Princeton led by four shots over the Hoyas after Monday's two rounds, but on a Tuesday when nine of the 10 teams in the field had their highest scores of the tournament, Princeton opened its final margin to 13 shots over the runner-up and host Hoyas.
The title is Princeton's third at the event, joining their wins in 2007 and 2008. It's Princeton's second team win of the 2015-16 season and first of the spring, along with the Lehigh Invitational to close the fall.
Individually, Hana Ku and Alex Wong co-led Princeton at +17, joining Georgetown's Jacquelyn Eleey as one of three players at that number. St. John's' Anna Kim turned in a 10-shot margin over that trio to win medalist honors at +7.
Amber Wang finished seventh at +22, five shots behind Ku and Wong, and Tiana Lau was two shots back of Wang at +24, tying for 12th overall. Jordan Lippetz completed the Tiger five, tying for 18th overall at +27.
Princeton will have one more event before the Ivy League Championships are held April 22-24 at Stanwich Golf Club in Greenwich, Conn., when the Tigers go to the Carnegie Abbey Club in Portsmouth, R.I. for the Brown Bear Match Play April 16-17.
