Jennie Post / The Dartmouth Staff In a show of resilience, the Dartmouth women's volleyball team (4-4, 0-1) downed the University of Maine (2-9) in three tough games on Saturday. On the heels of a four-game Friday night loss to Harvard, Dartmouth jumped out to an impressive start against the Black Bears and held on for the victory, sweeping Maine, 30-18, 30-25, 30-27.
