The Big Green field hockey team continued to struggle in their mid-week games as they lost on the road to the University of Massachussets, 3-1, yesterday at Amherst. The loss dropped the Big Green to 8-6 overall but had no bearing on Dartmouth's Ivy League standing.
After leading at the half 1-0, UMass looked as if they were going to blow the game open early in the second half when Laura Phelan notched her first goal of the afternoon. Dartmouth was quick to respond however, as sophomore Lauren Scopaz '00 brought the Big Green within a goal with just over 23 minutes left in the game.
However, Phelan ended all Dartmouth hoped with her second score of the game with just over five minutes left to give Massachussets the 3-1 victory.
The highlight of the afternoon though was Scopaz's goal, which gave her 46 career points, breaking the all-time Big Green scoring record only midway through her sophomore season.
