Dartmouth Women Fall to Princeton in a 5-32 Contest
Dartmouth came into this weekend’s match looking to use a strong offense to generate scoring opportunities but instead the Big Green found itself playing much of the match in its own defensive zone.
Brown Women Remain Unbeaten
Brown remained undefeated and tops in the Ivy League with a 28-24 win over Harvard. Jessica Sawadago '15 opened the scoring 26 minutes in taking the ball off the back of a 5 meter scrum and diving over for the score. Erica Florenz converted and Brown led 7-0. Minutes before the half ended Harvard scored an unconverted try to bring the score to 7-5.
Cornell Women Pull Out a Victory Over Penn 41-15
Penn Park in Philadelphia was where the Penn Women were hoping to land their first win...Cornell had other plans.
Penn started off strong, with a full team effort driving the ball down the field to score in the first 5 minutes of the game, which was quickly answered by Cornell who had a strong breakaway run. For the majority of the first half, the score was tied with both teams battling for possession. Cornell scored again and made their conversion in the 33rd minute, and Penn touched another one down just before the end of the half. Penn entered half time down by just 2 points.
Brown Women Beat a Heralded Princeton Team 33-5
In a match characterized by big hits and tough runs the Brown women beat a heralded Princeton team at home by a big margin. Bottom line: Brown played a suffocating defence and Princeton didn't.
Dartmouth continues its winning streak with its first Ivy League match
The DWRC remained undefeated this weekend with a 69-0 victory over Columbia University. Continuing its efforts towards team integration, Dartmouth developed a dynamic offensive game that resulted in many tries, especially out wide. The Lions proved to be aggressive and strong in the rucks, using them to keep or regain possession, especially in the first half. Strong runs and offloads by forwards Taylor Johnson ’14 and Amanda Spoto ’14 created many offensive opportunities for the back line.
