HANOVER, N.H. – Alexa Schneck scored 4:09 into double overtime to give Penn a 3-2 victory against the Dartmouth field hockey team Saturday at Chase Field.

The Big Green drop to 4-5 overall and 1-2 in Ivy League play this season, while the Quakers are 6-5 overall and 2-1 in league contests thanks to the result.

It was a scoreless game until the final minute of the opening half when Erin Quinn one-timed home her first goal of the season on a Schneck centering feed.

It remained 1-0 until the 54th minute when senior Gemma Bautista laid out to redirect a Jessica Valvano shot off a corner into the top of the net for the equalizer.

A penalty stroke goal from Schneck in the 60th minute once again put the visitors on top.

However, the home team answered back with just over four minutes left in regulation as junior Katie Persin slammed home her third of the year and the first in nearly a month to tie things up. Persin was able to find space to collect the rebound from a Katie Spanos shot and put it over the Penn keeper to force overtime.

For the second time this season, though, Dartmouth was unable to protect its home turf in the extra frame as Schneck fired home the winner on a corner play with just under six minutes to play. The Big Green were dealt a challenging blow prior to the play as Persin was whistled for a green card, putting the home team down a player.

Penn's Ava Rosati stopped seven shots in the winning effort, while senior goalkeeper Hailey Valerio took the loss, making five saves. Valvano was also credited with a defensive save, helping her goalkeeper out in the game's waning moments.

Dartmouth has a busy week ahead as it heads to Maine for a non-conference game Tuesday before returning to Hanover and Chase Field to play host to Yale (12 p.m.) on Saturday and Northeastern on Sunday (1 p.m.).
