...goal from Gibbons, the Big Green would go on to overwhelm the home team. After the Crimson had a score nullified for a man in the crease, Dartmouth followed with six unanswered goals to break out to a 9-5 lead that put the game out of reach.Although a slick field often gave Harvard problems, Tillman made no excuses for Dartmouth’s superior play.“When we made mistakes, they made us pay,” Tillman said. “We just had a couple [of] breakdowns, and the breakdowns came at critical times...

...team’s character that we didn’t quit,” said sophomore midfielder Jason Duboe, who netted two goals in the effort. “Time sort of ran out on us. They built a pretty good lead and they were definitely a very slick team. But two more [shots] fall and we take it to overtime.”Harvard entered the game ranked 19th on the heels of a four-game winning streak. Duboe and sophomore attackers Travis Burr and Jesse Fehr each scored a pair of goals and junior midfielder Max Motschwiller...
