ResultsANNAPOLIS, Md. -- The Towson women's golf team used a playoff to capture the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Invitational, which concluded on Sunday afternoon at the Naval Academy Golf Club.
Towson and Penn were tied through the regulation 54 holes at the 15-team tournament. Each team sent five players out to play a one-hole sudden death playoff. The Tigers edged the Quakers by two strokes to claim their first outright title of the 2014 fall season.
After shooting 308 and 307 on Saturday, Towson carded another 307 on Sunday to end with a 54-hole school record 922. Penn carded a 303 during the final round to make up four strokes and force a playoff. After the Tigers and Quakers, Dartmouth was a distant third (941).

Kate Schanuel. "We had gumption and heart from the beginning of the tournament through the playoff. Krissy's second-place finish in addition to three top 20's from Mackenzie, Emma and Larissa shows our depth, which we have worked hard to achieve. There was great camaraderie the whole weekend with U PENN and we congratulate them as well."
