ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The University of Pennsylvania women's golf team made it two in a row on Sunday, winning the team title at the Navy Spring Invitational. This comes on the heels of their team win a week ago at Bowling Green's Dolores Black Falcon Invitational and gives the Quakers plenty of momentum heading into the Ivy League Championship this coming weekend.
 
The two-day, 36-hole event was hosted on the par-72 U.S. Naval Academy Golf Club course.

Penn shaved eight strokes off its Saturday score, finishing with a 302 team score on Sunday to end the weekend at 36-over-par 612. That was enough to beat second-place Quinnipiac, which shot 298 as a team on Sunday to end the event at 620. Host Navy was third, at 628. Among the other Ivy League teams in the 11-team field, Dartmouth and Columbia tied for fourth at 634.
