ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Dartmouth freshman Julia Calbi was not phased by the competition in her collegiate debut, finishing in a tie atop the leaderboard at the Chesapeake Bay Invitational this weekend. But Towson's Emma Hjarne took home medalist honors after winning a one-hole playoff with Calbi, who led the Big Green to a fourth-place finish at the par-72 Naval Academy Golf Course.

Calbi entered the day with a one-stroke lead ahead of Penn's Rachel Dai and two ahead of Hjarne with a four-over 148. While Dai fell back with an 81 (+9), Hjarne caught Calbi by carding a her third straight 75 (+3) to tie her with a nine-over 225. Hjarne then bested Calbi on the playoff hole to win the tournament.

The top four scorers for Dartmouth were all freshmen, including Angela Zhang who matched Calbi's 77 (+5) today to tie for 14th with a 235 (+18). Catharine Roddy finished alone in 24th place with her seven-over 79 today, totaling 238 (+21) for the three rounds. In 28th place was Hana Bradshaw with a 23-over 240.

Although Penn did not have a single golfer finish in the top five, the Quakers managed to win the event by five strokes on the strength of their 13-over 301 in the second round to set a single-round record on the course. Penn ended the tournament with a 61-over 925, while Towson and Longwood tied for second with a 930. Dartmouth was seven strokes behind those two at 937, 14 strokes ahead of Wagner in fifth.

The Big Green come back to Hanover to play host at the Dartmouth Invitational at the Hanover Country Club on Sept. 26-27.
