NEW HAVEN, Conn. – After losing a heartbreaking 2-1
decision to Harvard last weekend, the Yale women's soccer
team finds itself in the same situation the 2004 squad faced. That
year, Yale lost its first two Ivy League games to Princeton and
Harvard but rolled off five straight league wins and earned an
at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. The streak started with a win
at Dartmouth. The 2010 Bulldogs will try to follow the same script
when they play at the Big Green on Saturday at 4 p.m.
Yale (4-6-1) earned some momentum with a 2-0 victory at Saint
Peter's on Tuesday night. Miyuki Hino and
Enma Mullo scored and Ayana
Sumiyasu made four saves in goal to post the shutout.
Seven different players have now scored for the Bulldogs.
Becky Brown leads the team with three goals, while
Mullo, Hino and Natalie Romine have two each.
Dartmouth (3-5-1, 1-1 Ivy) split its first two Ivy games,
beating Brown 2-1 before falling to Princeton by the same score.
Marina Moschitto leads the Big Green with three goals. Colleen
Hagan has played every minute of every game in goal and has a 1.19
goals against average.
The Bulldogs have won the last two meetings with Dartmouth,
including a 2-0 decision last fall at Reese Stadium. Hino and Brown
both scored for Yale. Hino has scored three of her 10 career goals
against the Big Green.
