Women's golf triumphs at Georgia St.; men tie for sixth place at Georgetown

While both the men's and women's golf teams headed south over break hoping to conclude their fall campaigns with resounding victories, only the women's team returned with another championship.

Ending its fall season, the men's team got stuck in competitive gridlock around the Washington Beltway, tying for sixth at the Georgetown Invitational. The women's team, meanwhile, streaked past a host of southern schools to claim the title at the Georgia State Invitational.

With a 54-hole score of 928, the women defeated second-place Charleston Southern by 11 strokes in Braselton, Ga. Southern Mississippi, Maryland and Jacksonville State rounded out the top five, finishing 10, 11 and 20 strokes behind Charleston Southern, respectively. The Tigers outpaced the competition with three individuals finishing in the tournament's top 10.

As she has most of the season, senior Julia Allison led the Tigers, garnering third-place honors individually with a score of 78-75-76—229.

Sophomore Vanessa Redman notched two rounds of 75 before closing the tournament with an 81. Her score of 231 over 54 holes was good for fifth place individually. Freshman Esty Dweck and senior co-captain Adrienne Gill finished 10th and 11th, respectively.

At the Georgetown Invitational in Leesburg, Va., the men's team closed out its fall season with a sixth-place tie with Navy, both earning scores of 628 over the tournament. Senior Peter McWhorter tied for seventh place individually, leading the Tigers with a two-day 152.

After a first round 80, sophomore Nat Hoopes fired a 74 on the second day to round out a solid weekend. With a 161 on the weekend, junior James Milam finished in a tie for 43rd.

Princeton's team score placed the Tigers just two strokes behind fifth-place Penn. Penn State was the overall victor with a 296-310— 606. Seton Hall, Eastern Michigan and host Georgetown finished second, third and fourth, respectively.
