In Tuesday's 65-52 loss to UNH, co-captain Brittney Smith '11 had trouble being an offensive threat because of a strong defensive effort by the Wildcats and only put up six points on the day. Dartmouth was out-rebounded 38-28, and UNH's domination in the paint contributed in large part to its 10-point lead at halftime. Early in the second half, the women closed the spread to seven but were unable to keep up the pressure.

AO: There was a period of time where if four or five things happened we would've won so we were all really excited, but then one of the teams didn't win so we we're really bummed.
