Nadia Young led the way for the Big Green, recording three points with one goal and one assist. Young recorded a goal in both of Dartmouth's home matches in 2026. Stephanie Lathrop also scored for the Big Green, and Frankie Valverde had an assist. In goal, Ola Goebel tallied four saves.

The Big Green generated ample scoring opportunities, recording 19 shots to San Francisco's nine.

Dartmouth tallied four shots on goal in the first half, which ended in a scoreless tie.

Goebel tallied three saves in the opening half, including a diving save where her outstretched fingers tapped the ball over the crossbar with 36:00 on the clock, preventing an otherwise certain goal for the Dons.

The Big Green held an 8-4 advantage in shots heading into halftime despite the 0-0 score.

A pair of Dartmouth goals in the second half put the Big Green over the line. With 11:30 remaining, Valverde crossed the ball to Young, positioned in the top right corner of the box, who fired a shot into the back left corner of the net. With under four minutes to play, Young lofted the ball downfield to Lathrop, who ripped a shot from well behind the box to put Dartmouth up 2-0, which was the final score of the match.
