OWINGS MILLS, MD -- George Washington's Martin Liu carded a 10-over-par 152 in extremely windy conditions at the 36-hole Caves Valley Spring Intercollegiate men's golf tournament near Baltimore Saturday and Sunday.

Liu tied for fourth place in the 45-player field. His effort helped propel the Colonials to a tie for third place in the nine-team field. GW tied Harvard, each with 622, five strokes behind runner-up Princeton. Penn won tournament with a 612 (313-299). GW and Temple joined six Ivy League schools: Brown, Cornell, Harvard, Penn, Princeton and host Yale, which also entered its B Team.

Meanwhile in Annapolis, MD, the Colonials sent a four-man `B Team' to the Navy Spring Invitational where they placed 19th in the 21-team field with a team total of 657 (326-331), well off the pace set by the host U.S. Naval Academy (592--286-306).
