Hanover, N.H. - The Dartmouth women's soccer team dominated Vermont 3-0 tonight, holding the Catamounts to just one shot in the game.

Dartmouth (7-6), which used all 21 available players in the win, went off for 28 shots, putting 18 on goal while allowing Vermont (1-11-3) just one shot attempt total. The Big Green got all three of its goals in the first half and Vermont goalie Eliza Bradley made 15 saves to keep the game at 3-0.

Three different players struck for Dartmouth with Becky Poskin (Leawood, Kan.), Myra Sack (Wynnewood, Pa.) and Peyton Tata (Virginia Beach, Va.) all scoring goals.

Dartmouth had an attacking mentality from the opening whistle. The first real threat came in the seventh minute when Aly O'Dea (Irvine, Calif.) sent a great cross into the box for senior Kelsey Quick (Bernardsville, N.J.) but Bradley just beat her to the ball.

Quick got the assist on her next run with an unselfish play to put the Big Green on the board. After bringing the ball into the box, Quick passed the ball off to Sack who beat the keeper with a low, left footed shot to go up 1-0 in the ninth minute.

O'Dea had a good look of her own in the 14^th minute, firing from wide out on the right side but the ball just nicked the crossbar and went high and out. It was another near miss in the 23^rd when senior Ali Hubbard (Marshfield, Mass.) headed a corner kick from rookie Grace Best (Downingtown, Pa.) but saw it go just high.

Dartmouth's relentless attack paid off again in the 26^th minute when Sack played the ball from the right side to Poskin, who corralled the ball and fired. Bradley got a hand on it but couldn't stop the shot and the Big Green went up 2-0.

Just minutes after checking in off the bench, Tata put the Big Green up 3-0 in the 34^th minute with a beautiful shot from about 20 out on the right side that Bradley had little chance to save. Hubbard did the dirty work on the play and got the ball to Tata who delivered the perfect strike.

Dartmouth finished the first half with a 14-0 shot advantage.

The Big Green continued to look for more goals in the second, ultimately outshooting the Catamounts, 14-1, but Bradley made nine of her saves in the half to keep Dartmouth off the board.

Katie Davis (San Marino, Calif.) connected on a corner kick from Melisa Krnjaic (Washington, D.C) in the 58^th minute and had Bradley beat but a Vermont defender blocked the ball at the line to save the goal. Vermont did not get a shot off until the 68^th minute when Lindsey Mucia sent a hard shot high. Dartmouth goalie Colleen Hogan (Houston, Texas) was tested just once, when she came out to pick up the ball and slipped, but somehow the defense kept the Cats from getting a shot at the open goal.

While Dartmouth sent quite a few blasts right to Bradley for some of her saves, the Big Green attack continued to get good looks from the Cats defense. Rookie Libby Hamlin (Vernon, Conn.) nearly had her second goal of the season in the 75^th minute when she split the defense and fired just inches high.

Dartmouth's starting backline of Best, Erin Fleischli (San Mateo, Calif.), Jenny Stone (Wilmette, Ill.) and Thea Sutton (San Rafael, Calif.) played lockdown defense in the shutout as did a variety of players off the bench including Krnjaic and Aurelia Solomon (Washington, D.C.).

Dartmouth will look to ride the momentum into its next Ivy contest when it hosts Columbia on homecoming night this Saturday, Oct. 24 at 6:30 p.m.
