Women’s soccer notches rare win at Harvard
The Dartmouth College Big Green Women’s soccer team had a historic victory on Saturday when it went on the road and beat Harvard 1-0, something the program had not done in 20 years.
The one conference win already matches the program’s total from last fall and gives Dartmouth a two-game winning streak in Ivy League play, dating back to a season-ending win over Brown last November. The defeat of the Bears snapped an 11-game Ivy League winless streak for the Big Green (4-2-2).
Kate Ryan scored what was the game-winning goal, which Stephanie Lathrop assisted.
Ola Goebel, making her second career start, collected two saves to earn the shutout.
The team is next in action at Penn on Saturday.
Crowther earns Ivy League honors
Dartmouth senior running back, D.J. Crowther, was named the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week for his stellar season-opening performance that included a trio of touchdowns along with 143 yards on the ground on 20 carries. He also had 32 yards receiving on three catches.
“I think first and foremost it starts with the O-line. I wouldn’t be able to do it without their blocks,” said Crowther after last weekend’s 27-20 win over the University of New Hampshire. “We rep every day in practice, a mentality of going 1-0 each and every day, and I just think it starts in practice, running hard, trusting the O-line, the receivers blocking.”
