Field hockey beats Dartmouth, proves mettle in Ivy League

The field hockey team took another small step towards success, improving upon a marginal win last week against Yale.The Tigers (4-1 overall, 2-0 Ivy League) maintained their course for a tenth consecutive Ivy League title by beating Dartmouth (0-3, 0-2), 5-1, on Saturday in Hanover, N.H.The win was an important one, sending a message to the rest of the Ivy League that last week's near-collapse against Yale, where the Tigers escaped with a 5-4 overtime win only after allowing the Elis to storm back, was a fluke.This time, Princeton once again gained a large lead, but never let the Big Green come back.It was the Tigers' first Ivy League game away from home, and things started out a bit slowly on the offensive end, despite the fact that they were in full control of the game.Although Dartmouth did not even muster a shot in the first half, it took the Tigers a lengthy 24 minutes to score their first goal.
