HOUSTON, Texas – The Dartmouth women’s lacrosse team triumphed over Colorado on Sunday at TDECU Stadium, completing a sweep of their two Houston games. Entering the third period, the Big Green showcased its defensive talent, holding Colorado scoreless while picking up a goal for themselves. Dartmouth extended its lead to 10-7 early in the fourth period before the Buffaloes attempted a comeback.The Big Green scored the first goal of the game within a minute and a half after the opening draw. The Buffaloes applied consistent pressure throughout the first half, and neither team allowed a lead larger than two points.

With three seconds left in the half and a 7-7 score, Fiona O’Keeffe unleashed a goal into the net that would give Dartmouth the momentum it needed entering halftime. “I mean, it’s always great to put the ball in the back of the net, but it really speaks to my teammates creating off ball and on the defensive end.” Christensen said. Katina Christensen put on a show in her hometown, securing her fifth hat trick of the season. Fiona O’Keeffe and Catherine Erb earned their second and fourth hat tricks of the season, respectively. Samantha Bennett and Emma Goodwin each scored a goal, while Bennett had two assists. “We knew it was an important weekend to be able to give it our best and to really get better from our last showings,” Josie Harper Head Coach of Women’s Lacrosse Alex McFadden said. “It’s just a great momentum piece for us.”Colorado’s Maddie Shoup and Kendall Havill scored back-to-back goals to chip away at the lead, but O’Keeffe sealed their fate with a free position goal, bringing the final score to 11-9. The Big Green will return to Hanover for an Ivy League matchup against Cornell on Saturday at 3:30 p.m.
