Ithaca Women's Golf Team Wins Abbreviated Tournament at Elmira
Elmira, N.Y. - The Ithaca women's golf team scored 381 and won the team title in a field of four teams at the Elmira Invitational at Mark Twain Golf Club. The tournament began Saturday, but was postponed due to high winds and precipitation. Players completed their rounds Sunday and scoring consisted of 18-hole totals. The Bombers defeated William Smith (398), Nazareth (418) and Elmira (466). St. John Fisher entered two players as individual competitiors.
It is Ithaca's third tournament victory of the season, as the Bombers also won the William Smith Invitational and Empire 8 Championships during the fall portion of the schedule. Ithaca concludes its season Saturday with an 18-hole home invitational at Country Club of Ithaca. Team scoring will be counted for Ithaca, William Smith and LeMoyne and several individual players from those teams and others will round out the field.
