The Dartmouth women's lacrosse team traveled to the University of Pennsylvania this weekend to finish its regular season and came away with second place in the Ivy League Tournament after falling 9-8 to the Quakers in the championship game. The Dartmouth women's post-season tournaments hopes are not dashed, however, as they still have a chance at securing an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.
The Big Green (10-3, 5-2 Ivy) had a chance to win the game late in regulation, but impressive goal-keeping by Princeton's Erin Tochihara kept the Tigers in the game. Tochihara stopped two crucial shots in the final 30 seconds of regulation play, both of which would have given Dartmouth the win. She added three more saves in overtime, finishing the game with a total of 14 saves.
With the win, Dartmouth (10-2, 5-1 Ivy) secured a bid to the Ivy League tournament and racked up 10 wins in a single season, something that hasn't been done since the current seniors joined the program.
Draw controls and offensive possession determined the game, and unfortunately for the Big Green, Penn dominated both areas. The Quakers controlled 13 draws and took 27 shots to the Big Green's 4 and 14, respectively.
