Box Score

HANOVER, N.H. – The Brown women's lacrosse team and Dartmouth battled through a tight, defensive first half, but the host Big Green outscored the Bears 6-3 the rest of the way to claim a 10-6 triumph at Scully-Fahey Field on Saturday.

Brown drops to 7-7 overall and 1-5 in Ivy play, while Dartmouth improves to 2-11 and 2-3 in league play with the win.

Emma Dahle (Wynnewood, Pa.) continued her offensive onslaught on Saturday, posting her first career hat trick and adding an assist to lead the Bears. She extends her point to six games with the four-point output on Saturday. Janie Gion (Northfield, Ill.) added a pair of goals and an assist, while Abby Bunting (Wellesley, Mass.) also found the back of the net.

Goalkeeper Kellie Roddy (Poway, Calif.) made 10 stops for the Bears, while counterpart Jessica Frieder made four stops for the Big Green.

After Sarah Byrne put the hosts up 1-0 just 1:24 in, Gion finished off a feed from Emma Dahle to knot the game at one just 1:14 later. Jaclyn Leto and Frances Bird cashed in on back-to-back free position attempts to put Dartmouth back up into the lead at 3-1.

Dahle continued her recent hot streak, as her first goal of the game cut the deficit back to one with 13:56 to play in the half. Byrne and Dahle exchanged goals two minutes apart, before the team's battled through the remainder of the half scoreless over the final 9:03 of action, as Dartmouth took a 4-3 edge after 30 minutes.

Taryn Deck and Bunting swapped goals at the beginning of the half, but Dartmouth took control from that point and scored four goals over a span of 6:10 to grab a 9-4 lead with 11:27 to play.

Gion brought the deficit back within four with 6:40 to play, but the Bears couldn't string any more goals together to complete the comeback. Dahle capped her hat trick off a feed from Gion with 29 seconds left to complete the scoring.

Brown held an 11-7 edge on the draws, but the Bears struggled with the clear game, only completing 7-of-13 attempts. Leto led the way for the Big Green with three goals, an assist, and a team high five shots.

Up next, the Bears visit #17 Princeton next Saturday in the 2015 season finale at Sherrerd Field at the Class of 1952 Stadium.
