BURLINGTON, Vt. - Vermont snapped a 3-3 tie and the Dartmouth field hockey team's four-game win streak on a goal with 54 seconds remaining in Wednesday afternoon's nonconference matchup at Moulton Winder Field. Emily Bastiaanse's fifth goal of the season was the result of an extra pass on a penalty corner and gave the home team the late-game victory.
The Big Green (6-3) got tallies from senior Kelly Hood (Berlin, N.H.), junior Lisa Masini (Ann Arbor, Mich.) and freshman Ali Savage (Orange, New South Wales, Australia). All three finished with three points as they each added assists in the heartbreaker.
"This was a game where we didn't seem to work as hard as we usually do," head coach Amy Fowler said. "Credit Vermont for playing hard and beating us because this isn't one of those times where we can't say we beat ourselves. Had we worked to level that we have been accustomed to I think we would have won this game."
Masini got her team on the board first with her third of the season 8:13 into the game. Savage picked up her second assist of 2011 as she made the pass to Masini off of a rebound.
Vermont quickly responded, scoring two goals in just over a minute shortly after Dartmouth's opened the scoring. Colleen Slaughter and Sally Snickenberger put the Catamounts (6-4) up by a goal, 2-1, with markers 1:06 apart.
Hood's team- and league-leading 10th goal of the season tied the game at 2-2 just three minutes after falling behind a goal. Masini set up the senior co-captain who finished the play with a strong shot from the top of the circle that made its way through the Vermont defense to pull the teams even.
The first-half flurry of scoring wrapped up with Slaughter's second goal to give UVM the 3-2 lead headed into the break.
Savage tied the game once again with 14 minutes remaining. Hood picked up her third assist in the last two games as she found the freshman forward and two-time reigning Ivy League Rookie of the Week for the equalizer.
With the game seemingly headed for overtime, Bastiaanse scored the winner with just under a minute left. Dartmouth pulled senior goalkeeper Meagan Vakiener (Port Murray, N.J.) with 35 seconds remaining, hoping the extra attacker would generate a push that could tie the game a third time. However, the tying goal never came as the Catamounts held off the Big Green's surge for the 4-3 win.
Vakiener finished with six saves in the game, while her counterpart in Vermont's Stepahnie Zygmunt stopped 11 Dartmouth shots.
Despite the outcome, the Big Green outshot the Catamounts (25-16) and held a slight advantage in penalty corners (8-5).
Dartmouth returns to action and Ivy play Saturday when they take on Penn in Philadelphia at noon.
