Dartmouth responded with increased defensive intensity in the second frame. Capitalizing on the game’s slower pace—each team only picked up four fast-break points—the Big Green took a one-point advantage with 15:12 to play on a three-point play...

Having pushed Union back into its defensive zone, junior Kate Buesser intercepted a pass and found Dempsey in the slot for the easy goal and the 3-0 lead.
