Playing in the first-round game at home on Scully-Fahey Field, Dartmouth bested Boston University, 9-7, on the strength of four goals from sophomore Katieanne Christian '05.

Christian's four goals were the third most by a Dartmouth player in an NCAA Tournament game in program history to that point.
