Women's volleyball drops straight sets in road matches

By Tianchi Xu | October 25, 2009

On the road for the third time this month, the Dartmouth women's volleyball team was unable to notch a much-needed win, falling to both Yale and Brown in straight sets and dropping to sixth place in the Ivy League. The Big Green (7-11, 3-5 Ivy) has now lost five of its last six games after the season's brief encouraging start. Heading into Friday's matchup in New Haven, Conn., Dartmouth looked to upset a formidable Bulldog squad that includes last year's Ivy Player of the Year, Yale senior Cat Dailey. With sharp kills and even sharper defense, Yale quickly built a 13-1 first-set lead that overshadowed the Big Green's comeback efforts. Outgunned on offense, Dartmouth was unable to maintain service possession long enough to establish momentum swings, as the Bulldogs ran away with the first frame 25-12. "Yale has a strong offense, and we knew what we had to do to contain them," co-captain Megan MacGregor '10 said.
