The Dartmouth women's volleyball team split two games against Ivy League opponents this weekend, losing on Friday night to Columbia University before beating Cornell University on Saturday.
Despite an initial two-set lead over Columbia (11-6, 5-2 Ivy), which had won seven of eight games heading into the matchup, the Big Green lost its momentum in the following two sets.
"Our passing and digging fell apart, and we weren't as strong as we were in the first and second game," Madeline Baird '12 said.
Dartmouth would not recover as Columbia went on to win the fifth and final set.
When Dartmouth took an 8-5 lead in the set, Columbia called a strategic timeout and returned to win five of the next seven points.
