Dartmouth Stumbles on the Road Against Ranked Cornell
3/30/2019 3:07:00 PM | Men's Lacrosse
HANOVER, N.H. – Dartmouth men's lacrosse had a strong first quarter before No. 10 Cornell ran away with the lead, defeating the Big Green by a score of 15-5 at Schoellkopf Field on Saturday afternoon.
The team was led by Ben Martin with his hat trick, while Matt Paul had two points from a goal and an assist and three other players had one point apiece. Daniel Hincks matched his career-high from last weekend, stopping 17 shots. Kiernan Gunn handled most of the faceoff duties, going 8-for-20 at the X.
"We had a strong effort early in the game," head coach Brendan Callahan said. "I am proud of our team for how we started. We didn't finish the way we wanted and I give credit to Cornell for a strong second half effort. We are looking forward to bouncing back next weekend to compete against another strong Ivy League opponent in Yale."
Hincks started the game off very well, making three consecutive saves on three tough shots by Cornell in the first minute of play. The Big Red (6-3, 1-2 Ivy League) got on the board first at 12:30 and it looked as if Paul had tied the game up seven minutes later, but the goal was waved off. Paul did not forget that, coming back to score at 1:58, a tally that counted this time. With under a minute remaining, Martin gave Dartmouth (2-6, 0-2 Ivy League) the lead, only to have Cornell tie things up with 17 seconds to go (2-2).
The Big Green stayed right there with their ranked opponents until the Big Red scored at 11:26 and again at 5:10 to pull ahead by two. Dartmouth had a few chances in the second quarter but could not get one back and headed to the intermission trailing, 4-2.
Cornell scored its fourth and fifth markers in a row midway through the third. George Prince cut into that lead and scored the Green's first tally since the first quarter, but the Big Red responded with a trio of goals in three minutes to pull further ahead (9-3). Some big saves by Hincks kept Cornell at bay for the remainder of the quarter.
After another Big Red tally 25 seconds into the fourth, Dartmouth found a little momentum with back-to-back Martin goals, getting the Big Green within five while the junior completed his hat trick (10-5). Cornell cut Dartmouth's could-be run short, putting three more on the board in a two-minute span. The Big Red scored two more goals in seven seconds to end the game (15-5).
Dartmouth will be on the road again next Saturday, April 6, when it faces defending national champion and second-ranked Yale at 3 p.m.
