HANOVER, N.H. – Anna Luce connected on four 3-pointers and finished with a season-high 16 points in Dartmouth's 67-47 loss to Yale Saturday afternoon at Leede Arena.

40 years of Dartmouth women's basketball was celebrated at halftime with a ceremony honoring the Big Green alumnae that have raised 17 Ivy League championship banners at Leede Arena.

"This weekend we celebrated our alumnae that hung 17 banners here," said Belle Koclanes, the Gail Koziara Boudreaux '82 and Family Head Coach of Women's Basketball. "We're proud of our effort and how the team responded after last night, especially in the second quarter. We defended the perimeter well but we need to work on our post defense moving forward."

The four threes for Luce marked a career high and accounted for four of the five total triples for the Big Green (7-12, 1-5 Ivy League). Jimena Abejon contributed a career-high 10 points and two assists in 22 minutes of play while Paula Lenart finished with eight points and eight rebounds.

Camilla Emsbo scored a career-high 29 points and grabbed eight rebounds for the Bulldogs (15-4, 5-1 Ivy). Ellen Margaret Andrews and Roxy Barahman each chipped in 14 points.

Yale scored the first 12 points of the game, but Dartmouth got back into it by outscoring the Bulldogs 8-6 to end the quarter with four points by Lenart and two each from Elle Louie and Abejon.

Annie McKenna and Luce hit back-to-back triples and Abejon made a free throw to bring the score to 17-15 with 7:05 until the half. Yale then went back up by nine before Abejon and Karina Mitchell combined for a 5-0 run to make the halftime score 29-25.

Dartmouth evened the score at 29 with break-away layups by Abejon and Louie. Yale then took back the lead and extended the gap to nine points at the end of the third.

Luce nailed her final trifecta to open the fourth and cut the deficit to six points with 9:48 to go in the game. A 10-0 run by Yale over the next five-plus minutes put things out of reach and the Bulldogs sunk their free throws to close things out.

Dartmouth begins a four-game road swing with Columbia on Friday at 7 p.m.
