Granholm, Hardy Lift Women’s Soccer Past Quinnipiac

The 1-0 victory was the first collegiate win for Head Coach Taylor Schram
HAMDEN, Conn. – A Daisy Granholm goal in the first half and a six-save shutout from Emily Hardy lifted the Dartmouth women's soccer team to a 1-0 victory over Quinnipiac on Sunday afternoon in Hamden, Connecticut. The win gives Taylor Schram, the Stacy and Nick Branca Family Head Coach of Women's Soccer, her first collegiate win as a head coach.
"There's a lot of emotions running through me right now, but I am so incredibly proud of our group," said Schram after the game. "Sunday games in college soccer are not always the prettiest, but it comes down to fight, it comes down to heart, and our team showed a ton of it today."
The lone goal of the match came in the 18th minute of play. Mary Lundregan served a looping ball over the Quinnipiac defense to Granholm inside the Bobcats' penalty area. Granholm beat the defender to the ball, but was tripped, earning the Big Green a penalty kick. Granholm stepped up from 12 yards out and slotted her shot to the bottom left corner to give Dartmouth a 1-0 lead, scoring her second goal of the season.
The Big Green were held to just one shot on goal but played well for all 90 minutes on the defensive side of the ball.
Quinnipiac's best chance of the afternoon occurred late in the game as they searched for the equalizer. The Bobcats had the ball at the top of the Dartmouth penalty area and Morgan Cupo let loose a shot towards goal but was saved by Hardy. Hardy burst off the line to cut down the angle and made the quick reaction diving save to her left to keep the Big Green ahead.
The Big Green defense shut down the Bobcats offense as time ran down, not allowing a single shot on goal in the final six minutes of the game.
"It was a big-time win and the team played really well, especially playing two games in three days," said Hardy after earning her first collegiate shutout. "I'm super proud of the effort."
Schram ended with, "It was a great team performance. We had a lot of players step up, I'm really proud of it and it gives us a lot of momentum going into next week."
The Big Green improved to 1-0-1 with the win while the Bobcats fell to 0-2.
Dartmouth returns to Burnham Field on Thursday evening with a non-conference matchup against Colgate. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. and the game will be available to stream nationally on ESPN+ and internationally on Stretch Internet. Tickets are available for purchase through the Dartmouth Athletics Ticket Office.
Notes: The Big Green handed the Bobcats their first loss at home since a 2-1 defeat to Iona on Oct. 20, 2021… It was the first time that Quinnipiac had been shut out at home since April 12, 2021, in the MAAC semifinals.
