As a team, Harvard came in second with 597 strokes, nine shots behind the first-place Lions. Penn finished in third with a 598, and the Midshipmen (601), Big Green (603), and Hawks (603) rounded out the top five.

“It takes a fourth or fifth guy playing well to win a tournament,” Grillo said. “That’s what kept us from winning this week, even though three of us played fairly well.”

Out of the remaining Ivies, Princeton tied for eighth, Cornell finished in 10th, Yale tied for 11th, and Brown came in 13th. The event provided a glimpse into the spring when the Ancient Eight will come together to determine a league champion.

“This is a very big way for us to end the season,” Liu said. “We’re a lot more confident of ourselves now and know that, if everyone plays well, we can win almost any tournament.”

“We know that we’re good enough to win Ivies this year,” Grillo said. “Columbia was on [this weekend]. They’ve won [the Ivy Championship] the past three years, so we definitely know they’re the one we have to get.”
