RINGOES, N.J. – The University of Pennsylvania women's golf team entered the final day at the Ivy League Championship in the middle of a packed field, as five teams were within eight strokes of each other at the top of the leaderboard.
 
Unfortunately, the Quakers had the fifth-best team score among that group on Sunday, and so the Quakers -- despite the best score with relation to par in history at The Championship -- finished fifth.
 
Harvard was able to separate from the group on Sunday, shooting 290 to finish at 901 (+37) for the weekend and win the team title. Dartmouth's final-round 298 left the Big Green in second, at 907, while Columbia (306) and Princeton (302) also finished ahead of the Quakers (309). Penn's overall score was 55-over-par 919, two strokes shy of the Tigers, six behind the Lions, 12 behind the Green, and 18 shy of the champion Crimson. Prior to this weekend, the Quakers' best score with relation to par at The Championship came in 2011 (+58); even the team that won the program's only Ivy title, in 2010, finished at 65 over par.
 
Sophomore Rina Jung had Penn's best score on Sunday and ended up as the Quakers' best finisher overall on the weekend. She shot an even-par 72 on Sunday and ended the Championship at 7-over-par 223, which left her tied for fifth and made her the first Penn player since 2015 to earn first-team All-Ivy honors. Jung led the field in par-4 scoring (+2/4.08) and was second with 42 pars. Jung's 223 was the best performance by a Penn player at the Championship in program history, four strokes ahead of the 227 put up by Erin Lo in 2017 and Michelle Lee in 2011.

Freshman Mary Shin carded a 78 on Sunday and tied for eighth overall at 228, gaining second-team All-Ivy. She was third in the field with 38 pars and tied for second in par-3 scoring (E/3.00) along with teammate Christina Park and three other golfers. The last time the Red and Blue had two All-Ivy players from the same Championship was 2012.
 
Park, a junior, also scored a 78 on Sunday and ended up tied for 20th in the field at 233, while freshman Leila Dizon scored with an 81 and finished 23rd with a final 235 score. Freshman Olivia Traynor carded an 82 on Sunday.
 
Harvard freshman Elizabeth Wang finished as the individual champion, shooting a 3-under-par 69 on Sunday to overcome Columbia freshman Jennifer Wang (no relation) with a final score of 2-over-par 218. That left her two strokes ahead of the Lions' freshman, who carded a final-round 73.
