In hurricane-like weather, Columbia put up its best offensive performance of the year, defeating Dartmouth 5-0 at the New Field Hockey Venue at the Baker Field Athletics Complex.

Senior co-captain Laura Cosan scored in the seventh minute, with a shot off a corner from Ashley McMasters. Ramie Merrill scored two minutes later on a similar corner play, on a pass from Kim Branich.

The defense kept Dartmouth from having solid scoring opportunities, and the Lions out-shot Dartmouth 11-3 in the first half.

Megan Davidson gave the Lions a three-goal lead shortly into the second half when she put away a rebound off the initial corner shot.

In the next five minutes, sophomore Jacqui Munro scored her first and second collegiate goal off of corners for the final 5-0 win.

This is the first Ivy win for the Lions this season and the first win over the Big Green since 2000.

The Dartmouth goalie Jordan Sedlacek had eight saves on the evening, while the Lions' keepers combined for two saves.

NOTE: Due to severe weather, live stats were not available for this game.

The Lions return to action on Sunday, for the final home game of the 2006 season, as they host Colgate at 1 p.m.
