HANOVER, N.H. — Junior Lakin Roland finished with 14 points and seven rebounds, but Yale held onto a first-half lead for a 60-46 win over the Dartmouth (10-9, 1-4 Ivy) women's basketball team in Ivy League play on Friday evening at Leede Arena.

Sophomore Fanni Szabo added 11 points, but foul trouble early in the second half held her on the bench. Junior Daisy Jordan added nine points and nine rebounds with five coming from the charity stripe.

Yale (11-8, 5-0 Ivy) finished with three players in double figures and was led offensively by Whitney Wyckoff with 14 points. Mary Ann Santucci and Jen Berkowitz each had 12 points. On the glass, Emmy Allen led all players with 11 rebounds and aided the Bulldogs to a 40-38 advantage over the Big Green.

Yale led for 16 minutes in the opening half and took a 37-23 lead into the break. Santucci scored 10 points in 15 minutes and shot 4-of-7 from the field with two trifectas. The Bulldogs did a nice job on the glass collecting 23 with nine on the offensive end. Szabo had nine points but shot 4-of-11 from the floor. .

The Bulldogs took a double-digit lead with 10:59 left to play in the first frame and increased the lead to 18 three minutes later. Dartmouth did a solid job down the stretch of the half with a 10-0 run to make it an eight-point deficit, 26-18, with 3:25 remaining.

Dartmouth came out firing early in the second, and outscored the Bulldogs 11-6 in the first seven minutes of the half. However, over the next 11 minutes, Dartmouth fell into a field-goalless drought that saw the Big Green score their next eight points from the line.

Yale also went without a basket for four minutes during the duration. At the 7:09 mark, Jordan connected on a pair from the line to cut the deficit to eight (48-40), but the shortage of offense did not allow for a Big Green comeback to muster. Dartmouth hit three baskets in the final 1:30 of play.

Dartmouth finished the contest shooting 26 percent but made 16-of-20 from the line. Yale made 22-of-58 from the floor and 10-of-17 from the line.

Dartmouth will host Brown on Saturday evening at 6 p.m.
