NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Yale's Tamara Simpson led all scorers with 20 points and the Bulldogs shot 34 percent to defeat the Dartmouth women's basketball team 53-28 on Saturday evening at the Lee Amphitheater.

Whitney Wyckoff added 10 points for the Bulldogs, who shot 33.9 percent from the floor, but not connect on a three-pointer.

Yale then took the lead on a 14-0 run and held the Big Green scoreless for seven minutes and led by nine, 22-14, on a layup by Simpson. Dawson broke the drought with a basket inside at the 2:05 mark. Yale went into the locker room leading by seven (22-15).
