Dartmouth made quite a splash on the collegiate basketball scene after nearly upsetting the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, a women's basketball powerhouse, in the opening round of the 2006 NCAA tournament. The near-victory, if anything else, made the team hungry for more success outside of the Ivy League bubble.
Megan Wijas '06, one of the team's tri-captains, used three words to describe the team's reaction: disbelief, shock and disappointment.
Despite the Big Green's 6-1-0 record in Ivy League play, the women in green (12-4-1) had to settle for second place in the conference by a one-point margin after Columbia (10-4-3, 6-0-1 Ivy) claimed the league title with a 1-0 win over Harvard on Saturday morning. The Lions claimed their first-ever Ivy League championship title with a 6-0-1 record in Ivy play despite being ranked lower than Dartmouth in national polls.

The following day, after five power play opportunities, the Big Green still couldn't make it happen and dropped the second game of the series 1-0.
"Our team is very disappointed by the loss and I guarantee that if we had the opportunity to play them again it would be a different game," Emily Tracy '07 said. "We are not happy with our overall performance, but in the long run it's only one game and hopefully we have a lot more to play."
On the University of New Hampshire's Senior Day, it was the Dartmouth seniors that had a field day. With seniors scoring both of the Big Green's goals, the No. 13 Dartmouth women's soccer team broke its one-goal win spell on Wednesday afternoon.

Dartmouth (9-3-1, 4-0 Ivy) boasts an eight-game unbeaten streak and a perfect 4-0 Ivy League record. The Big Green defense, led by goalkeeper Amanda Webb '08, hasn't allowed a goal in eight games.
"Yale was a big win for us," Stanley said. "Not only do we remain undefeated in Ivys but it was payback from last year when they won and captured the Ivy title. The whole team wanted this win and everyone worked so hard throughout the week. It was a team effort and I think we deserved the win."
"Beating Princeton was a huge win for us because it gets us one step closer to our goal of the Ivy championship," Tracy said. "There is always a lot of buildup before we play Princeton because they're always a good team in contention for the title."
"Obviously we would have liked a win and we certainly had the opportunity to score, but that's soccer -- sometimes you outshoot a team but still come out with a tie or a loss," Becca Poskin '09 said.
"We are just happy to win," said captain Whitney Douthett '07, who scored her first collegiate goal in the game. "This is the Ivy League -- one loss and you are out."
"We played pretty well," said Monica Martin de Bustamante '08, the team's most prolific scorer this season. "Vermont was a tough side to play against and it took us a while to adjust to their playing style, but once we did we proved that we were the better team."
