Ni, Tigers Finish Runner-Up at Princeton Invitational
September 29, 2019 | Women's Golf
Freshman Grace Ni led the Princeton women's golf team as the Tigers finished runner-up at the Princeton Invitational Sunday at Springdale.
Yale's Ami Gianchandani successfully defended her title from the 2018 tournament, following Saturday's tournament-low 67 with a 1-under 71 to finish at -6. That cleared Ni and Seton Hall's Samantha Staudt by three strokes as each runner-up finished at -3.
Seton Hall added nine strokes to its finish from the first round and the Tigers were two strokes better than Saturday, but the Pirates held on to win by seven strokes, finishing 1-under to Princeton's +6.
All seven Ivy teams were in the field, with Princeton finishing four strokes in front of third-place Penn and six in front of fourth-place Yale with Dartmouth and Columbia tying for seventh, Harvard tying for 10th and Brown finishing 12th.
The Tigers will wrap the fall season next weekend at the Yale Invitational Friday through Sunday.
