DeSanty led the Tigers to their seventh overall Ivy League title. Entering the final round of competition, Princeton trailed by two strokes and ended up winning the event by three.
 
The first team consisted of Victoria Liu (Princeton), Jennifer Wang (Columbia), Anina Ku (Harvard), Katherine Sung (Dartmouth), Ami Gianchandani (Yale) and Taylor Zeng (Columbia).
