Huskies' offense proves too much in 5-1 win.

HANOVER, N.H. – The Dartmouth field hockey team dropped a non-conference match-up Sunday afternoon against visiting Northeastern, 5-1, at Chase Field.

The Huskies (6-8) came out strong, scoring three first-half goals before adding a pair in the second to pick up the victory. The Big Green (4-8) got a second-half goal from sophomore Kira Koehler and double-digit saves from senior Hailey Valerio, but it wasn't enough to overcome the visitors' potent offensive attack.

Rachel Campbell, Camille O'Connor and Kellie Stigas all scored in the opening 35 minutes of play to make it 3-0 at the half. Another goal in the 52nd minute from O'Connor pushed the lead to four, only to be answered a minute and 37 seconds later from Koehler.

For the second-year Dartmouth forward, the tally was her fourth of the season, while Lia Constantine's assist on the play was her fourth of 2018 as well.

The Huskies added another in the 67th minute from June Lindahl-Curry to cap the scoring and push their win streak to 11 games against the Big Green dating back to 1988.

All 10 of Valerio's saves came in the second half as she picked up her third double-digit save performance of the season and her second of the week after stopping 16 at No. 17 Maine on Tuesday afternoon.

Julia Gluyas turned aside three in the winning effort for the team from Hunting Avenue.

The Green and White are back in action next weekend with a pair of road games looking to snap the current four-game slide. Dartmouth goes to Columbia for a Friday afternoon (2 p.m.) Ivy League game before taking on UMass Lowell on Sunday (1:30 p.m.) in another matinee.
