Women's golf

Led by junior Avery Kiser's two-under 71, Princeton won the team title at the Dartmouth Invitational at Hanover Country Club this weekend.

Kiser's 71 was good enough to claim tournament medalist honors and helped the Tigers set a team record for a two-round tournament.

Seventeen other teams competed in the event, but none challenged Princeton for the lead. The Tigers won the team event by 27 strokes over Boston College.

Two other Princetonians finished in the top five in the individual standings. Freshman Sharla Cloutier shot a one-over 147 to finish second overall, and sophomore Meg Nakamura took fourth with a five-over 151.

Men's water polo

Men's water polo went 4-0 in the season-opening North/South Invitational at DeNunzio Pool this weekend, beating Queens, Brown, Harvard, and Iona in the nine-team, three-day event.

Princeton dismantled Queens, 10-1, on Friday behind three goals from sophomore defense John Stover.

A pair of Ivy League foes fell to the Tigers on Saturday as Princeton topped Harvard, 11-7, in the early game and Brown, 14-8, in the late game. Stover scored seven goals in the two games. Freshman two-meter Reid Joseph scored twice against Brown.
