Junior Emily Chu finishes weekend with undefeated 3-0 record; Lions defeat Brown 5-1 in consolation final on Sunday.
BRANCHBURG, N.J.—The Columbia women's golf team captured the consolation title and finished 2-1 at the second annual Match Madness event Sunday at Fox Hollow Golf Club in Branchburg, N.J. The Lions lost 5-1 to No. 4 seed Penn in Saturday's first round, defeated Wagner 5-1 in Saturday's second round, then defeated Brown 5-1 in the consolation final.
Junior Emily Chu finished the weekend with a perfect 3-0 record. She was the only Lion to register a perfect record. Finishing with a clean 2-1 record on the weekend were first-year Marlene Tartaro and sophomore Katie Lee.
No. 1 seed Delaware defeated No. 2 seed Princeton 4.5-1.5 for the Match Madness team title.
Co-hosted by Princeton and Columbia, eight teams competed in the two-day event including No. 1 seed Delaware, No. 2 seed Princeton, No. 3 seed Harvard, No. 4 seed Penn, No. 5 seed Columbia, No. 6 seed Brown, No. 7 seed Dartmouth and No. 8 seed Wagner. In match-play format each team played three head-to-head matches in an elimination tournament with consolation bracket. Six players from each team competed in head-to-head match-play rounds for each team. Should the schools split those matches, the number of holes won will determine the winning team.
A final tournament bracket is available at this link.
It is the second year that Columbia, Penn and Princeton have participated in Match Madness as four teams competed in 2018. Princeton won the inaugural event as it defeated Columbia, Penn and Seton Hall last year.
Fox Hollow Golf Club is a 5,827-yard course with a par-70.
Match Madness is the final competition for Columbia before the Lions will play for the 2019 Ivy League Championship, April 19-21 at The Ridge at Back Brook in Ringoes, N.J.
