HANOVER, N.H. – The Dartmouth volleyball team suffered a 3-0 loss to Princeton (18-25, 16-25, 17-25) at Leede Arena on Friday evening. The Big Green dipped to 5-9 and 1-3 in Ivy League play, while the Tigers improved to 11-4 and 4-0.
Sophomore Elise Petit led with nine kills, a .333 hitting percentage and 9.5 points, while junior Corinne Cox was first with 10 assists and senior Zoe Leonard had 12 digs.
"We definitely have to play better tomorrow," head coach Gilad Doron said. "Elise did a decent job defensively, but Princeton showed us that they are the best in the conference. They were very sharp from the first point, and I thought that our players had too much energy to start and not enough later on. I give a ton of credit to Princeton. We have to get better and get healthier and we have to fight a lot harder against Penn tomorrow."
The score was close at the start of the first set and the teams traded points until four in a row for the Tigers gave them a 9-6 lead. Princeton pulled further ahead until the score was 23-14, but Dartmouth got a few more points on the board thanks to some errors by the visitors before Princeton got its final point (25-18).
The Big Green came out strong in set two and, following three Tiger errors and kills by Petit and freshman Francesca Meldrum, had a 7-4 edge. The visitors got back in the game and the teams went back and forth, staying within a few points of each other. With the Tigers ahead, 14-12, an 11-4 run at the end made it a 2-0 match (25-16).
Princeton won the first seven points of the third and carried that lead from start to finish. Trailing by a score of 23-10, Dartmouth came alive, going on a 7-1 run thanks to four errors by the Tigers and kills by freshman Emma Moffet and sophomore Olympia Nagel-Caland. One more kill for Princeton ended the match (25-17).
The Big Green will return to the court on Saturday against Penn.
