HANOVER, N.H.—The Dartmouth women's rugby team defeated Princeton 93-0 on Saturday at Brophy Field.
The Big Green opened the scoring just over five minutes into the game as Cindy Taulava came out of a scrum and sprinted into the end zone for her first try of the season. Annie Henrich lined up the conversion and drilled it to give Dartmouth an early 7-0 lead.
Taulava notched her second try of the afternoon just five minutes later, following the try Henrich once again converted on the conversion to put the Big Green up 14-0.
