SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. - Junior Molly Scott (Trabuco Canyon, Calif.) got the lone win as the No. 38 Dartmouth women's tennis team dropped a tough 6-1 decision to Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo on Saturday.

The Big Green is now 11-2 on the season and the Mustangs, who recently defeated No. 75 UC-Santa Barbara, are 10-2.

Scott dropped her first set, but fired back with wins in the last two to take the only victory. Junior Geogiana Smyser (Houston, Texas) went the distance at the No. 5 spot. She fell in the first set and came back in the second to tie the match, but came up short in the final set at 6-4.
