PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Dartmouth women's lacrosse team dropped an 8-5 game Saturday at Ivy League foe Brown.

The result pushed both teams' overall records to 6-8, while the Bears picked up their first conference win of the season, improving to 1-5 with the Big Green dropping to 2-4 in the process.

EDIT: Dartmouth can still qualify for the 2016 Ivy League Tournament with a win over Columbia and a Yale win against Harvard. All three teams will be 3-4 in league play and 1-1 against each other so the tiebreaker would move to whoever has a win over the highest-seeded team outside of the tie, which would be the Big Green thanks to their win against Penn.

“Our attack's job is to create opportunities and we didn't do that,” head coach Amy Patton said. “You're not gong to win a game with 13 shots.”

“I think we played well for five minutes and then we were just flat,” Patton continued. “We've had this monkey on our back in road games this season and we just couldn't do anything to change the momentum in our favor today.”

Junior Taryn Deck led the Green and White with three goals, matching her season and career high set in the first two games of the spring. Senior Jaclyn Leto scored a pair of tallies in the game, giving her 49 this season and 147 in her career to move into fourth all-time in program history.

Deck scored the first two goals of the game in the opening 3:22 before Brown ripped off the final four of the first half to take a 4-2 lead into the intermission.

The same thing happened in the second half with Leto and Deck notching the first two scores before the home team answered back with four unanswered. Leto would net the final tally of the day, but the Bears ran out the clock in the final minutes to earn their first win against Dartmouth in eight tries dating back to 2008.

Kierra Sweeney and Elizabeth Mastrio both had an assist each in the game, while freshman goalkeeper Charlotte Wahle stopped four shots.

Brown boasted a balanced scoring attack with Rose Mangiarotti and Zoe Verni each scoring twice, while four others notched one goal apiece. Victoria Holland made eight saves in the circle for the win.

The two most telling stats of the game seemed to be the 29-17 discrepancy in fouls called against Dartmouth and Brown's (4-8) edge on free-position shots against the Big Green (1-3).

Dartmouth will close out the 2016 campaign at home next Saturday against Columbia. The Big Green will honor the four members of this year's senior class playing in their final game.
