LOWELL, Mass. – The Dartmouth women's soccer team fell to UMass Lowell, 3-2, in a close contest on Sunday afternoon at Cushing Field.

Dartmouth moves to 5-2-1 while UMass Lowell improves to 3-4-2.

Allie Winstanley finished with one goal and one assist for the Big Green. Aspen Anderson scored one goal while Aleena Seales and Mary Lundregan both had assists.

Julia Edholm led the way for the River Hawks with two goals. Anna Edson scored one and assisted another.

The Big Green opened the scoring early as they put it in the back of the net at the 7:40 mark. On the left wing, Lundregan cut back towards the middle and played a right-footed cross to the back post. The ball was just out of reach for the River Hawks' defender and to the feet of Winstanley. After calmly bringing the ball down out of the air, she struck a hard pass along the ground across the face of goal to a sliding Anderson for the empty net tap-in.

Dartmouth added to the lead in the 19^th minute. Like the first goal, it started off a cross from Lundregan. This time, it was a flick from Seales near the top of the box that bounced into space for Winstanley to hit on the volley into the back of the net to give the Big Green a 2-0 lead.

The River Hawks cut into the deficit just a few minutes later. Edson took a corner kick from the left side and played the ball to the six-yard box which was met by the head of Edholm and redirected into the back of the net.

UMass Lowell evened the scored just shy of halftime in the 44^th minute. The River Hawks drew a foul in the Big Green's defensive third down near the endline between the corner and the box. The ensuing free kick, taken by Khammar, was hit towards the six-yard box and headed in by Edholm for her second goal of the match.

Seales had an opportunity to break the deadlock in the 67^th minute. A cross into the box fell for Seales, but her attempt went just wide left of the post.

The River Hawks took the lead in the 71^st minute. A cross from the left wing by Chloe Layne towards the back post was headed in by Edson.

"Tough result today after a strong start," said Stacy and Nick Branca Family Head Coach of Women's Soccer Ron Rainey. "We have to learn from this and look to have a great week of practice as we head into conference play. I believe our team will rebound and train well as we prepare for Brown."

Dartmouth returns to Burnham Field on Saturday evening as they open Ivy League play against Brown. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. and the game will be available to stream on ESPN+ and Stretch Internet.
