HANOVER, N.H. – In its first tournament of the 2017-18 season, the Quinnipiac women's golf team turned in a record-breaking performance to win the 2017 Dartmouth Invitational at the Hanover Country Club. The Bobcats shattered their previous 36-hole record of 616 (+40) at the 2016 MAAC Championship with a 588 (+12) to win their first regular-season tournament since the 2016 Hartford Invitational.

A day after breaking Quinnipiac's 18-hole record with a 65 for the first round of the Dartmouth Invitational, junior Luciana Tobia-Palza (La Paz, Bolivia) completed the second round with a 141 (-3) to finished second overall. Tobia-Palza's 141 broke Nicole Scola's 36-hole record of 145 at the 2015 Brown Bear Invitational. Tobia-Palza's previous-best 36-hole scored was a 150 at the 2016 MAAC Championship.
