The race for the Ivy League title in women's hockey is down to two teams - unfortunately, Dartmouth is not among them.
League-leading Brown University effectively knocked the Big Green out of the championship picture with a 5-3 win over Dartmouth on Saturday at Thompson Arena.
A 13-5 bombardment of Cornell University on Sunday in Hanover pushed Dartmouth's record to 7-5-1 overall and 2-2-1 in the Ivy League, but did little to help the team's chances as it now needs both Brown and Princeton to post at least three losses apiece to have a shot at defending its Ivy Championship.
Brown (8-2 overall, 4-0 Ivy) thoroughly dominated Dartmouth in the first period, blasting three goals past Big Green goalie Sarah Lenczner '97 in the first twenty minutes. Gretchen Ulion '94 and Kim Cohen '94 scored a pair of goals in the opening minutes of the second period, but Brown never allowed Dartmouth to get any closer, matching the Big Green goal-for-goal from that point onward to win the game.
On Sunday, Cornell jumped out to an early lead but could not come close to matching Dartmouth's offensive explosion. Ulion had a hat trick and added three assists for six points, Sarah Devens '96 notched four assists and one goal and Malaika Little '97 also added three goals.
