HANOVER, N.H. – The Dartmouth women's cross country team edged Brown, 28-33, Saturday morning in the season-opening Maribel Sanchez Souther Invitational at the Hanover Country Club.

Brown posted three of the first four finishers on the 6K course, including the winner Hannah Butler (21:58), but the Big Green had every runner between the fifth and 12th spots, respectively, to earn the team title for the sixth straight year.

Leading the way for the home team was senior Diana Vizza in second place thanks to a 22:15 finish.

Claire Dougherty (22:46), Samantha Ford (22:51), Lauren Archer (22:52) and Corinne Robitaille (22:55) rounded out the scoring for the home team, giving the Green and White three seniors (Vizza, Dougherty and Archer) and a pair of freshman (Ford and Robitaille) points in the first meet of the 2019 season.

That depth pushed Brown's next two scoring runners to 11th and 14th, respectively, in addition to the three-top-four finishers.

Hartford was fourth with 92 points, just beating out fourth-place Maine with 95 points.

Dartmouth is not in action again until Friday, Sept. 20 when it runs at Boston College's Coast-to-Coast Invitational.
