DURHAM, N.H. – Dartmouth women's hockey dropped its final road game of 2015 to New Hampshire, 3-2, inside Whittemore Center on Tuesday night.
The Big Green fell to 4-7-2, while the Wildcats won their fourth straight contest and improved to 7-13-1.
Margo Lund got UNH on the board first, faking left and shooting right and getting past two Dartmouth defenders at 3:34 in the opening stanza. The Big Green controlled a lot of the action and outshot the Wildcats, 9-8, but the home team's defense was on point, blocking nearly half of Dartmouth's attempts.
The Green got one of their own to tie the score exactly two minutes into the second period. Junior Kennedy Ottenbreit received the puck from classmate Eleni Tebano, and Ottenbreit's slapshot from the blueline was deflected by UNH netminder Kyra Smith, but was backhanded between the goalie's legs by senior Lindsey Allen for her eighth of the year. That draw did not last long, though, as Cassandra Vilgrain made it 2-1 at 4:34.
In the remaining 15 minutes, the Big Green and the Wildcats took a combined 23 shots, but neither team could get past the goaltenders this time.
Video review of a possible UNH goal a minute into the third period ruled in Dartmouth's favor, but the Green were not so lucky at 3:20, when Devan Taylor knocked in the Wildcats' third of the evening. At 15:04, senior Ailish Forfar took a shot at Smith from the left circle, picked up her own deflection, did a quick spin and fired into the left corner. Trailing, 3-2, the visitors ran out of time before they were able to tie it.
Dartmouth outshot UNH, 32-31, and went 1-for-5 with the extra skater, while the Wildcats were 1-for-6. Between the pipes, junior Robyn Chemago had 28 saves, while Smith had 30.
The Green will close the first half of the season on Saturday, Dec. 12, when they welcome Vermont to Thompson Arena for a 4 p.m. game.
