Dartmouth Ends Season With Convincing Senior Day Win Over Columbia
10/28/2023 5:22:00 PM | Field Hockey
The Big Green finished with a 20-5 edge in shots
HANOVER, N.H. — The Dartmouth field hockey team didn't allow a single Columbia shot until the third quarter, while offensively, first year Lucia Campaño scored two of the Big Green's three goals as the Big Green picked up an impressive 3-1 Senior Day win on Saturday. After entering the season eyeing its first Ivy League victory since 2018, Dartmouth finished the year with two. Saturday's win improved the Big Green's record to 6-9 overall, more than double their win total from last season (in two less games).
"Today's performance featured a lot of the things we've been looking to do," said Dartmouth head coach Mark Egner. "We were looking to connect, score from play, we were looking to be productive and create offensive opportunities off penalty corners and put together a pretty solid defensive performance. We really did that today."
"This group that's graduating has left a huge impact on our program and it's really exciting for them to go out with another Ivy League win."
After the game, the Big Green celebrated their senior class of five, featuring Lila Browne, Rory Williamson, Payton Altman, Bronwyn Bird and Caroline Carr. Fifth year Meg Barnes also played in her final game as a Big Green player.Â
"I'm really proud of our team and all that we've accomplished this season," said Browne. "We went into the season hoping to get an Ivy win and we ended up getting two. That's just the beginning for the team next year."
The Big Green defeated Columbia by multiple goals for the first time since 2015 and ended the season with two multi-goal Ivy League wins in the same season for the first time since 2014.
Dartmouth finished the season in sixth place in the league standings, its highest finish since 2018, which was also when the Big Green had six or more total wins. Dartmouth ended the year three games under .500, its closest to .500 since 2017 (when the Big Green were 7-10). The Big Green also ended the year with single-digit losses for the first time since 2012.
"We started this season with really high aspirations and unfortunately, we fell a little short of some of those, but we really showed progress and we showed we're moving in the trajectory that we want to be moving," said Egner. "Getting Ivy League wins has been a challenge for us over the last few years and to get that monkey off our backs has been really helpful and really sets the stage for where we want to go as a program moving forward."
Before moving forward, the 2023 edition of the Big Green had one last game to play. Columbia controlled possession in the very early going, but didn't get a shot off and Dartmouth quickly turned the tides, firing six shots, three on goal, and creating two penalty corners in the first quarter. Two of them came after a corner late in the quarter, but Columbia goalkeeper Katie Wimmer turned aside chances from Barnes and Campaño.
Just over five minutes into the second quarter, the Big Green broke through. Wimmer stopped junior Emilia Callahan's initial chance, but Campaño put home the rebound to make it 1-0 with 9:21 left in the second quarter.
Just 2:15 later, the Big Green made it 3-0 as Bird took a hard shot towards cage, which was redirected by Browne, then freshman Riley Dumigan, past Wimmer.Â
The Lions held a 4-2 edge in fourth-quarter shots, but couldn't get any closer, as the Big Green wrapped up the 3-1 win.
"It has been an honor to play with these girls," said Altman. "I'm so happy I was next to my four best friends to get this win today."
Final shots were 20-5 in favor of Dartmouth while the Big Green held an 8-2 edge in penalty corners. Wimmer finished with 11 saves while Carlson didn't make any, but did make two strong defensive plays, one in each half, to knock the ball away on potential dangerous Lions' opportunities. For Campaño, she scored in five of her final six games, posting six goals in that span to finish her rookie season with 19 points via eight goals and three assists. Her eight goals are the most by a Big Green first year since Ali Savage had 12 in 2011.
"Every athlete wants to leave the uniform better than they found it," said Egner. "We just had a wonderful senior ceremony where the student-athletes talked about the impact this class had. There are a ton of things this group can look back on and be proud of. One is that they have really helped us reshape our culture and make it the kind of inclusive environment we want it to be where people feel welcomed and valued right from the get-go. On the field, they have left their own impact in a number of different ways."
"We got to know each other at the start on Zoom and they barely knew each other," Egner continued. "Now, you'd swear they've been best friends for their whole lives. That's the power of college sports.Â
"To see them graduate with those kinds of relationships is really special."

Dartmouth tacked on two more goals in the final five minutes of the third quarter, with Campaño first netting her second. Sophomore Florentina Terra made a strong defensive play to gain possession and found Campaño ahead, who snuck it by Wimmer to extend the Big Green lead to 2-0.Lucia Campaño gives the Big Green a 1-0 lead at the half!
