March 31, 1999 — #10 Dartmouth 18, Boston College 5
This game isn't about an epic comeback or about Dartmouth beating a highly ranked opponent. This game doesn't have either of those factors in play. Jacque Weitzel '00
It's about shining a light on perhaps the best player in the storied history of the Dartmouth women's lacrosse program, Jacque Weitzel '00, and one of her best games in the green and white.
Against Boston College in Waltham, Massachusetts, Weitzel produced one of the greatest individual efforts ever by a Dartmouth women's lacrosse player, finishing the game with 10 points on six goals and four assists.
What makes it all the more impressive is that she scored all of her goals in the first half … well, the first 23 minutes and 16 seconds of the first half to be exact. Behind her six scores and two first-half assists, Dartmouth scored the first dozen goals of the game and led the Eagles at the intermission, 12-2. Weitzel would add another two helpers in the second stanza to bring her total to 10 points, four more than the entirety of the BC roster (6).
This game was a microcosm for Weitzel's career as she graduated from Dartmouth as the all-time leader in both goals (199) and career points (248), marks that still stand to this day two decades later. Despite the 10-point performance on that final day of March, she would come up just two shy of reaching her sophomore total from the year before when Weitzel notched 72 points, a figure that was also one short of the program record of 73 (Lauren Holleran '95 in 1995). Weitzel would go on to break that mark the following season with 79, another record that still stands.
