Crimson Cruises In Tune-Up Match

Sophomore Christine Cho wins individual title as Harvard dominates field

Freshman Chloe Altchek and senior Sarah Harvey each tied for third place with scores of 150—their best performances of the spring season—and junior Mia Kabasakalis’s two-day total of 152 placed her sixth overall.

The trio’s placement at the top of the field provided a prime example of the talent coursing throughout the Crimson’s roster.

“We’re in an enviable position, and it’s certainly the reason we’ve won Ivy championships the last couple of years,” Rhoads said. “We have lots of people who can win individually, but we also have a communally strong team—anyone can end up in the top five on any given week, which, on our team, many times means they will be in the top five in the field.”

Freshman Katie Sylvan misfired with a first-day 83, but she salvaged a seventh-place finish with a Sunday 70, tying Cho for the best single round of the tournament.

Competing as an individual along with Altchek, sophomore Jane Lee came home with a 10th-place finish after shooting consecutive rounds of 80.

All in all, Harvard golfers had 20 birdies on the weekend, but Rhoads was wary of heaping too much praise on his squad.

“I definitely think all of us...left shots out there,” Rhoads said. “While we’re certainly pleased with what we did, we also know there are specific areas that we can improve upon.”

The Crimson now prepares for next weekend’s Roar-EE Invitational, its final tune-up before the all-important league championship.

“If everyone keeps pulling their own weight, and pushing one another, then I expect...we will give ourselves a good chance to win Ivies,” Rhoads said.
