Bottom of the ninth, two outs, seventh game of the World Series, Dartmouth College women's soccer team up to bat. Well, almost.
Head coach Kelly Blasius-Knudsen '91 and her Dartmouth women's soccer team did something to her former squad, the University of Vermont, that no other team has been able to do this year: play them to a draw. The Big Green and the Catamounts played 120 minutes of scoreless soccer at Chase Field yesterday pushing the Green's record to 6-4-2 and the Catamounts's to 6-6-1.
The Big Green women's soccer team catapulted into first place and the driver's seat in the Ivy League race with a decisive 4-0 victory over Yale University in New Haven Saturday afternoon. The Bulldogs and Big Green both came into the game with just one Ivy loss, but Dartmouth improved to 4-1 in the conference (6-4-1 overall) while Yale dropped to 2-2 in the Ivies (7-5-1 overall).
It was deja vu all over again for the Big Green women's soccer team yesterday as they were beaten 2-0 by the University of Connecticut who came into the game ranked eighth in the nation. Last year, the Huskies ended Dartmouth's season by beating them on the same field in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.
This weekend the Dartmouth women's soccer team will play host to Colgate University, the University of Buffalo, and Columbia University in the 2nd annual Umbro/Lipton Classic. Last year's contest was hosted by the men's soccer team, and this year it is the women's turn.
While the football team narrowly escaped from the jaws of defeat at the hands of the Cornell Big Red on Saturday, the women's soccer team made their game look like a walk in the park defeating Cornell 3-0 and improving their record to 4-2-1 (3-1-0 Ivy) while Cornell dropped to 1-5-0 (1-2-0 Ivy). The Big Green are now unbeaten in their last four games (3-0-1).
As the line-ups were announced for the women's soccer game at Chase Field yesterday, it sounded like the Big Green was playing the Scandinavian national team and not the University of Hartford. The Hawks had six very good Scandinavian players on their roster and the number one ranking in New England. But after 120 minutes of play, the Hawks and the ninth-ranked Big Green both settled for a scoreless tie pushing Dartmouth's record to 3-2-1 (2-1-0 Ivy) and Hartford's to 6-1-1.
Gretchen Mather '00 opened Saturday's women's soccer game against Princeton University by singing a beautiful rendition of the national anthem and receiving a nice ovation from the crowd at Chase Field. The fans erupted, though, for her encore, a game-winning goal scored in the 65th minute to defeat the Tigers 2-1, thereby boosting the Big Green's record to 3-2-0 (2-1-0 Ivy) and dropping Princeton to 2-2-1 (0-1-0 Ivy).
