PISCATAWAY, N.Y. – In its final event of the fall season the Lehigh women's golf team finished fifth out of 20 teams at the Rutgers Invitational, which concluded Saturday at the Rutgers University Golf Course. Freshman Crystal Lee led the Mountain Hawks, tying for 8th place overall with a 161 (81, 80).
As a team, Lehigh shot a 657 (331, 326) in the 36-hole event that began Friday, was delayed due to darkness and wrapped up on Saturday. Twenty teams battled windy conditions over the two days, with the Mountain Hawks finishing fifth, 15 shots behind Fairleigh Dickinson, which captured the team title with a 642 (339, 303).
