Vermont keeps field hockey winless with OT goal

Zach Ingbretsen / The Dartmouth Staff Despite a run of three unanswered goals, Dartmouth's women's field hockey could not secure its first victory of the season against Vermont Wednesday, as the Big Green fell to the Catamounts in overtime, 4-3, in Hanover. Despite the overtime loss, the final score against UVM represented the closest margin of defeat of the season for Dartmouth (0-5, 0-1 Ivy). The Big Green mustered zero goals in the previous four games, getting out-scored, 14-0. According to co-captain Ashley Hines '09, Wednesday's contest could mark the beginning of a turnaround for the Big Green. "We just switched our system of play, so I think we're just going to work on finding out who fits well in these new positions that we have, and who works well together," Hines said.

Career day by Jenny '10 can't stop Colgate in opener

Tilman Dette / The Dartmouth Senior Staff By Ivan Zlatar The Dartmouth Staff Big Green football started its season in an all too familiar way on Saturday, dropping a second half lead to Colgate for the second-straight year as the Big Green lost to the Raiders, 34-20, in Hamilton, N.Y. The game was highlighted by great individual play for Dartmouth (0-1, 0-0 Ivy), most notably from quarterback Alex Jenny '10, who threw for 343 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions in just his second career start. The Colgate (2-2, 0-0 Patriot) backfield, however, stole the show with a record-breaking performance from tailback Jordan Scott, who rushed for a Patriot League-record 239 yards and two touchdowns on 29 carries. Coming off of a suspension stemming from a felony conviction last year, Scott rushed for 239 yards against Dartmouth and broke the 5,000-yard career rushing mark to reach 5,015 rushing yards for his notable collegiate career. Dartmouth's offense kept up with Scott and the rest of the Raiders in the first half, controlling the time of possession as the Big Green steadily gained yardage and points. Co-captain Milan Williams '09 found the end zone on a six-yard run early in the second quarter, while new kicker Foley Schmidt '12, the Ivy League rookie of the week, tacked on two field goals in the opening half to knot the score, 13-13, at the break. The Big Green carried its momentum into the second half, striking first as Jenny connected with Eric Paul '09 for a 49-yard gain.

Vermont was able to go toe-to-toe with New Hampshire in the first half, but Vermont failed to put any points on the board in two trips to the end zone when the Vermonters allowed two crucial interceptions that killed their momentum. "We felt very good at halftime," Vermont head coach Mike Law of U-32 High School said to the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus.
