Junior Alyssa Roland has been elected Yales 2010-11 womens golf captain. The announcement came at Wednesday nights end of season banquet after a team vote.
Junior Alyssa Roland and sophomore Callie Kemmer were both named to the womens golf All-Ivy First Team. The members of the All-Ivy teams were determined by virtue of their individual finish at the Ivy League Championship this past weekend at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, N.J. The first team is composed of the top-five finishers, while the second team is comprised of sixth place through 10th place.
Junior Lissa Roland saved the best for last. She fired a round of 73 (+1) on Sunday to climb her way up the leaderboard and claim the Ivy League Championship. The Bulldogs did their best to make a team charge, but they had dug too big a hole with their score of 328 in the first round. Yale did surpass a number of teams over the final two days, including rival Harvard, to claim second place. Penn went on to win the tournament and their first ever Ivy League Championship by a staggering 22 strokes.
It was moving day at Baltusrol and the Bulldogs did their part, dropping 14 strokes of their Friday score. Yale (642) moved up two spots into third place, just 12 shots back of second place Harvard (630) and 20 shots back of first place Penn (622).

For the first 10 years of the Womens Ivy League Golf Championship, there were only two names ever inscribed on the trophy: Princeton and Yale. Six times the Bulldogs captured the title and four times the Tigers did. As of late, the rest of the Ivy League has been trying to get in on the party with Columbia winning one and Harvard winning the last two. Yale will look to change that this year at the world-famous Baltusrol Golf Club. The three-day championship will take place Apr. 23-25.
The Bulldogs faced some tough conditions Saturday at the ROAR-EE Invitational. Yale (619) finished in third place behind Harvard (603) and Penn (613).
