SOFTBALL: The Big Green dropped a pair of Ivy League games Saturday, falling 2-0 and 18-6 to Cornell at Sachem Field on Saturday.
In the first game, freshman Laura Mills was the hard-luck loser, giving up just four hits and striking out eight. Cornell scored a run in both third and fourth innings to gain the victory.
In Game 2, Cornell scored 14 runs in the second inning, batting around twice and belting nine hits combined with four Dartmouth errors to put the game away early.
On Sunday, the Big Green earned its first Ivy victory of the year as they snapped their 17-game losing streak with a 4-3 win over Penn.
Dartmouth (6-22, 1-9 Ivy) lost, 5-3, in the nightcap.
Trailing 3-1, going into the bottom of the sixth inning in game one, Dartmouth used a double by Jane Peachy '99 to ignite their winning rally.
Ayn Huntington '00 singled and stole second for the Big Green as pinch runner Erin Rath '98 went on to third. Both players scored when the Penn third baseman misplayed a ball hit by Lauren McQuade '97, tying the game.
Freshman pitcher Laura Mills got the win for Dartmouth, scattering five Penn hits.
In the second game, Dartmouth held a 3-1 lead after four innings, but the Quakers scored three runs in top of the fifth on one hit and two Big Green errors.
