PRINCETON, N.J. – After a wet and challenging 36 holes on day one of the Princeton Invitational, the Big Green returned to the course for their final round of the tournament, looking for better conditions.

Despite a wet start to the day, the Big Green found success on the course, jumping up one place to finish fourth in the tournament behind Princeton (+11), Georgetown (+41), and Yale (+44).

Sophie Thai led the way again for the Big Green, shooting a +1 through the final 18 holes, finishing a +9 across the three rounds and 11^th overall in the tournament.

Olivia Cong finished +13, posting a +4 on Sunday, jumping one position to finish 15^th overall.

Caroline Chung and Alissa Xu rounded out the Big Green scores that counted. Chung jumped ten spots in the overall standings, finishing 23^rd overall with a +3 on the day, making her grand score a +16.

Xu shot a +7 through the final 18 holes, finishing with a +17.

Victoria Tan jumped 30 spots with a +2 on the final 18, while Lauren Pham shot a +12.

Carolyn A. Pelzel '54a Head Coach of Women's Golf Alex Kirk said he was "proud of the team performance this weekend… We shot the second lowest team total of the field during the first and third round this weekend."

Kirk also noted each of the six players to compete had a score that counted towards the Big Green's total in the start six, count four style tournament, adding "Dartmouth Women's Golf has depth in this year's roster.

The Big Green will return to the course the second full week of October, traveling to Georgia Southern.
