The Big Green mounted a gritty second-half comeback against the University of New Hampshire Wildcats, but ultimately fell short, losing 65-61 at Leede Arena Monday night.
The cross-state rivals held the Big Green (6-9, 1-1 Ivy) scoreless for the first four minutes of the second half, and took their largest lead of the night, 49-28, with 17 minutes still to play.
In an effort to slow the game down and protect their commanding lead, UNH (6-12, 2-3 America East) switched from man-to-man to zone defense.
Dartmouth was ready for the change.
