Winston-Salem, n.c.
Dartmouth (3-1-0) took control from the outset, sending six shots the Bulldogs’ way in the match’s opening seven minutes and outshooting Gardner-Webb (1-3-3) on the day, 21-10. Casey Cousineau needed just one save in the opening 45 minutes and finished with a six-save shutout in the Big Green net.
Esty broke the scoreless tie in the 61st minute, finishing a Meredith Gurnee cross from the left side. Fellow freshman Zoe Enright doubled the visitors’ edge 0 minute later with her first career goal, beating the Gardner-Webb netminder to the far post to finish a Gia Parker cross.
Dartmouth begins a three-match homestand on Friday when Central Michigan comes to Burnham Field for a 7 p.m. tilt.

The United States’ Summer Cook, of Thornton, Colo., picked up her first career ITU win, finishing in 56 minutes, 49 seconds, with True recording a time of 56:52. Another U.S. Olympian in Brazil, Katie Zaferes, of Hampstead, Md., was third in 56:57.
Racers completed a 750-meter swim, a 10-kilometer cycling segment and a 5K run. Cook earned the victory by passing True and fading overall series leader Flora Duffy, of Bermuda, on the final kilometer of the run.
True sustained a leg injury and didn’t complete the course at Rio. She’s in the field for the ITU series’ final stop later this month in Cozumel, Mexico.
