HANOVER, N.H. - The Dartmouth women's soccer program was looking for its third straight win on the road at UMass Lowell, Saturday. Two goals in the first half proved to be enough for the Big Green on their way to a 2-1 victory over the River Hawks.

With the win, the Big Green move to 6-2-1 ahead of conference play.

In the 27^th minute, Dartmouth recorded its first shot on goal. Danielle Burke passed the ball to Hannah Curtin who in a one on one battle, got just enough on it to poke the ball past the River Hawks' keeper, scoring her second of the season to put the Big Green up 1-0.

With just under five minutes to go in the first half, Dasa Hase controlled a throw in deep in the box, turning and firing the ball up and over the keeper, doubling the Big Green's lead with her first of the season.

Despite keeping the River Hawks at bay in the second half, allowing only three shots on goal, UMass Lowell continued to pressure, finally finding the back of the net with just over eight minutes to play.

One goal was all the Big Green defense and keeper Ally Connors would allow, sending the Big Green into Ivy League play with a 2-1 win.

The Big Green will return to the pitch Saturday, welcoming Yale for Family Weekend in their Ivy League opener. Kickoff between the Big Green and the Bulldogs is set for 7 p.m. and will be streamed on ESPN+. You can purchase tickets to to game here.
