Dartmouth Women 27, Buffalo 5
Dartmouth was confident heading into the Women's DI Northeast Quarterfinals against Buffalo, having footage of the New York State championship and formulizing a game plan to expose Buffalo's weaknesses.
Sickness struck the Dartmouth team a day prior to kickoff, and the already weakened team saw half of its starting line and a number of A-side subs unavailable. There were some execution errors, and Buffalo was tough, but the younger players pulled through and produced a 27-5 win.
The second stanza saw the majority of the tries, with Dani Valdes, Annie Jones, Ashley Afranie-Sakyi, Melanie Pastuck and Kristen Liu all dotting down for five pointers.
