Women’s Golf Fall Update 4
PRINCETON, N.J. -- In what is quickly becoming
a common theme early in 2010-11 Ivy League women's golf season, a
quintet of freshman led Columbia, Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth and
Princeton in another stretch of solid play. In fact, a freshman
turned in the best finish for each of the five teams that competed
last week.

Women's Invitational on Oct. 2 and 3 in University Park, Pa. on
