HANOVER, N.H. – The Dartmouth women's soccer team defeated UAlbany, 3-2, Sunday afternoon at Burnham Field in a penalty riddled match. It was the team's first victory at home since the season opener on August 24.

Dartmouth (4-3-1) held a wide margin in shots, outshooting UAlbany (6-4-0) 23-9 and 11-4 on goal. However, both sides were even for the day with seven corner kicks each.

Seniors Alyssa Neuberger and Remy Borinsky each tallied a goal, while freshman Tracey Mills came away with the game winner in the 73rd minute.

"I like the way that we responded after giving up two deficits," said head coach Ron Rainey. "This is the kind of effort that we needed as we head into conference."

UAlbany came out energized to start the first three minutes of the match, coming away with three corner kicks and a shot that was blocked. The Great Danes could not capitalize on any of their chances.

The first goal of the match came in the 22nd minute for UAlbany after a Dartmouth foul set up a penalty kick. Gina Bracamonte booted it past the keeper to make it 1-0 Great Danes. Dartmouth had two shots in the closing minutes of the half but trailed going into the break.

A foul just outside the box set the stage for a free kick within striking distance for Neuberger in the 64th minute. The senior launched one to the back of the net to tie the match at one.

Moments later in the 64th minute, Claire Stackel secured another penalty kick for the Great Danes and put UAlbany back on top, 2-1.

Things would even-out just two minutes later. A foul on the Great Danes set up Borinsky for a penalty kick of her own and she sneaked the ball past the goalie to tie the match back up at two.

An excellent through-ball from Mollie McGorisk and a touch pass from Erin Kawakami gave Mills a wide-open look and she took full advantage in the 73rd minute, giving Dartmouth the lead and eventually the win.

Ivy League play starts for the Big Green on Saturday when they welcome Brown to Hanover for a 7 p.m. start at Burnham Field.
