HANOVER, N.H. — The Big Green fell by a score of 3-0, Saturday afternoon against Princeton. Dartmouth competed hard in the second half and sophomore goalkeeperÂ
Emily Hardy made her first career start in the game and made five saves.
Â
Three first half goals from Princeton (9-1-1) were the difference in the game. Dartmouth (4-4-1) gave up the first goal of the game in the 17th minute. The ball was crossed in from the left side and slipped past Hardy on the near post. The Tigers then scored two goals in quick succession. They scored their second goal in the 30th minute and their third goal in the 32nd minute. The Big Green warded off Princeton for the rest of the half and the score was 3-0 at the midway point.
Â
Dartmouth battled hard in the second half but were unable to find the back of the net. The Big Green and the Tigers each had three shots on goal and Dartmouth held the second half advantage in corner kicks with six to Princeton's four. The late surge was not enough, and the Big Green suffered their fourth loss on the season.
Â
Dartmouth returns to action next Saturday when they travel to Yale for a 4 p.m. matchup against the Bulldogs.
