How It Happened
In the third minute, Dartmouth thought they had a goal but it was called back as the Big Green were called offside.
Bruder had the home teams first shot of the match but the Dartmouth goalie was able to corral the ball for the save.
In the tenth minute, Izzy Glennon dribbled a pass just inside the right side of the box. She fired off a shot to the left side of the goal that squeezed past the diving Gladu.
Glass entered the match in the 23rd minute and made an immediate impact. In the subsequent minute, on a ball from Teuschl, Glass dribbled the ball to the top of the box and slotted a shot in the bottom right of the goal for the equalizer.
As the Quaker offense came crashing in on goal, Lawton sent a ball across the front of the goal to an open Stewart. She found the open space to put the ball behind the Big Green goalkeeper for what proved to be the game-winning goal in the 70th minute.
Just four minutes later, Stewart collected the loose ball in the box and sent it to the open Kellogg who sent the ball across the front of the box to the find the bottom left corner. This would be Kellogg's first goal of the season.
