HANOVER, N.H. — After sweeping Saturday's doubleheader, the Dartmouth softball team looked poised for a sweep when it led 3-0 as late as the fourth inning, but succumbed to four unanswered Yale runs in a 4-3 loss on Sunday afternoon.

Sophie Woodridge's fourth-inning home run off of Jensin Hall, who no-hit the Bulldogs just a day prior, evened the game at 3-3, and Woodridge would later drive in the go-ahead run during the sixth.

The Big Green, who were led offensively by Cwen Wilson (2-for-3), scored each of their three runs in the second inning. Wilson drove in a pair with her RBI double, and would score soon after on a throwing error by Yale catcher Sam Goodcase.

Woodridge, the only Bulldog hitter with multiple base-knocks on the day, led a Bulldog lineup that compiled five hits against Hall, who went the distance in the circle and finished with seven strikeouts. Emma Taylor earned the win for Yale, also pitching a complete game, and all three Big Green runs were unearned. Hall retired her first 11 batters she faced before Libby Peoples tallied the first Yale hit in the fourth.

Now with a 3-2 record in the Ivy League (6-10 overall), the Big Green step away from conference action on Tuesday when they host Boston University, who's currently receiving votes in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Poll, on Tuesday, April 2 at 3 p.m.
