Hanover — Playing at home, or close to it, seems to be serving the Dartmouth College women’s basketball team well.

The Big Gren jumped out to a big first-quarter advantage and used that foundaiton to grab a 59-46 win over Fairfield on Sunday afternoon at Leede Arena. Dartmouth leveled its overall record at 4-4 while improving to 4-0 in contests played in New England — three at home along with a Nov. 11 victory at Vermont.

Isalys Quinones led the way for Dartmouth with 18 points, four rebounds and two steals. Elle Louie was the only other member of the Big Green in double figures, coming off the bench to score 10 points. Cy Lippold finished with eight points and three assists, while Kealy Brown and Katie Douglas each had six points for the Big Green.

The Big Green plays its third straight home game on Wednesday when UMass Lowell visits Leede.
