ORLANDO, Fla. — A trio of Dartmouth golfers carded a 4-over 76 in the third and final round of the Harvard Invitational on Sunday, allowing the Big Green women to tie Navy for fourth place with a 909 (+45). Princeton, which entered the day atop the standings, pulled away from Penn to win the team title at 16-over par (880), 11 strokes, ahead of Penn and host Harvard.

Senior Catharine Roddy and freshman Kaitlyn Lees had identical scores in both rounds yesterday to lead Dartmouth at 5-over entering the shotgun start at Orange County National. Once again, the duo posted the same score over the par-72, 6,163-yard course as each sank two birdies and had 11 pars to enter the clubhouse with a 76 (+4). Joining the pair at 4-over was sophomore Moon Cheong who also had two birdies to go with a dozen pars on her card.

The final round left Roddy and Lees tied for 12th with a 9-over 225, while Cheong played the three rounds at 13-over par with a 229, tying her for 21st in the 48-player field. Junior Kristen Soh wrapped her 18 with a 79 (+7) as she tied for 25th with a 230 (+14), freshman Kristen Chen shot an 80 (+8) to tie for 33rd overall at 22-over (238), and junior Maddie Nelson tied for 30th while playing as an individual with a 234 (+18).

Princeton's Annabelle Chang, who entered the final round in three strokes back in third, shot a 2-under 70 to make up four strokes and win medalist honors, just ahead of Penn's Christina Park and two ahead of her teammate, Maya Walton.

Dartmouth will play again next weekend, April 6-7, at the March Madness Match Play event hosted by Princeton at Fox Hollow Golf Course in Branchburg, New Jersey.
