Bulldogs Down Dartmouth 2-0 For First Ivy League Win

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale men's soccer team picked up its first Ivy League victory and three points in the conference standings with a dominant 2-0 performance over Dartmouth on Saturday night at Reese Stadium. Max Rogers and Yasin Aly tallied goals for the Bulldogs while the Yale defense played a flawless contest, not allowing a single shot on goal.

With the victory Yale improves to 5-3-2 overall while Dartmouth falls to 4-5-1. The Bulldogs are now tied for second place in the conference with five points.

"This was a very gritty performance against a strong Dartmouth team and it was another example of how tight these games can be and the small margins between all the Ivy teams," said Kylie Stannard, the 5K Corral Head Coach of the Bulldogs. "I am really proud of the guys for putting in a full 90 minutes and also keeping our composure when things were tense. It was a deserved result and nice to get that at home for our families, friends, and alumni."

How It Happened
  • 13' | Max Rogers takes a free kick from about 30 yards out, but his attempt sails just above the crossbar.
  • 25' | Dartmouth earns a red card for an overly aggressive tackle.
  • 28' | Joseph Farouz gets a good look from inside the box, but a quick save from Dartmouth keeper Costi Christodoulou thwarts his shot attempt.
  • 39' | GOAL! From 20 yards out, Rogers bends one in off a free kick to give the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead.
  • HT | The Yale defense was incredibly effective through the first 45 minutes and did not allow a single shot from Dartmouth.
  • 74' | GOAL! Aly scored the Bulldogs' second goal off an assist from teammate Ryder Mills. Aly dashed into the 18 and took a shot that was mostly deflected by Christodoulou, but the ball trickled into the net to make it 2-0 Yale.
Game Notes
  • Yale extends its unbeaten streak to six matches dating back to September 11.
  • The Bulldogs improve to 3-1 against Dartmouth over their last four matchups.
  • Rogers tallied his second goal of the season, which is tied for the team lead with Farouz and Eric Lagos.
  • Aly scored his first collegiate goal and Mills notched his first career assist.
  • Edwards recorded his third clean sheet of the season.
