The Central Connecticut women's golf team claimed the Mount St. Mary's Spring Invitational tournament championship on Tuesday.  Central (326/323/325/974) edged Robert Morris (324/322/328/974) in a one-hole sudden death playoff to take home the victory on the final day.  Fairfield (327/322/328/977), Wagner (319/329/340/988), Mount St. Mary's (336/346/343/1025), and St. Francis (NY) (375/364/385/1124) rounded out the six team field.

Mount St. Mary's hosted the two-day, 54-hole tournament.  The event was held at Quail Valley Golf Club in Littlestown, PA, a par-72 course playing 6,202 yards.  Rounds one and two were played on Monday, April 16th and the final round wrapped up on Tuesday, April 17th.
