BOSTON – On the familiar 6K Franklin Park Course Park, the Dartmouth women's cross country team ran to a sixth-place showing at Saturday's 2018 NEICAAA New England Cross Country Championship.

A top-10 finish from Eliza Dekker helped the Big Green earn 189 points. Dekker ran the course in 18:17.0, good for eighth in a field of 168.

A gap between Dekker and her teammates might have cost Dartmouth points, but a solid grouping in the second wave helped the Green and White fight to maintain a top-10 team finish.

Freshman Breanna Glover was 33rd overall in 19:02.4 to lead the next surge of scorers for the Big Green. Isabella Chao (39th, 19:02.2), Anna Clark (50th, 19:16.6) and Veronica Winham (62nd, 19:23.7) rounded out the scoring.

Boston College came away the winner with an impressive 27 points, besting second-place MIT (78) by 51. Quinnipiac (122), New Hampshire (127) and Stonehill (159) were the remaining teams in the top-five.

Dartmouth heads to University Park, Pennsylvania, next weekend to compete in the Penn State National Invitational on Friday morning (10:45 a.m.).
