Women's volleyball takes second at Dartmouth Invitational

Jennie Post / The Dartmouth Staff For the Dartmouth women's volleyball team, two points turned out to be the difference between a heartening victory in a home tournament, complete with a win over an Ivy League rival, and a bittersweet second-place finish. Although the Big Green managed to score two convincing victories against the New Jersey Institute of Technology and Robert Morris University in Saturday's competition, an emotional Friday night loss to Harvard that ended in a 15-13 fifth game cost the Big Green first place in the Dartmouth Invitational and soured an otherwise encouraging weekend. Before a revved up crowd at Leede Arena in that match, the Big Green (6-6, 0-2 Ivy) dominated the first two games (30-21, 30-22), playing some of its best volleyball of the season.

The win over the Quakers (3-7, 1-2 Ivy) gave the Big Green (2-6, 1-2 Ivy) its first victory in the Ivy League this year.
