Glover Has Hit In Both Games For Yale

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Dartmouth showed this weekend why it is the favorite to repeat as Ivy League champion. Kristen Rumley and Morgan McCalmon each tossed complete game shutouts as the Big Green swept a doubleheader from Yale, winning the first game 8-0 and taking the second game 7-0.

Dartmouth, which has won nine in a row overall, including four over Yale this weekend, is now 11-1 in Ivy play.

Sydney Glover had a hit in each game, and Rachel Paris added two hits in the second game for the Bulldogs (7-16, 2-8 Ivy). Hannah Brennan singled in the first game to extend her hitting streak to 10 games but was then held without a hit in game two.

Rumley yielded only three hits in the opener, singles to Glover, Allison Skinner and Brennan.

Dartmouth (18-13) scored four times in the second inning. The Bulldogs stayed within striking distance until McCalmon belted a three-run homer to right field in the fifth inning.

Yale's best scoring chance came in the first. Glover and Skinner led off with back-to-back singles, but Rumsley retired the next three hitters.

Brennan singled leading off the fourth and advanced to second on Camille Weisenbach's ground out but could get no further.

Lindsay Efflandt allowed only four earned runs in the circle for Yale in the second game, but McCalmon was dominant. She struck out 10, walked one and yielded only four hits.

The Big Green scored once in the second, twice in the third, twice in the fourth and twice in the seventh.

The Bulldogs had a scoring chance in the second when Laina Do walked and moved to second on Paris' sharp single to left, but McCalmon worked out of the trouble.

In the seventh, Sarah Onorato and Paris singled but McCalmon induced a ground out to end the game.

The Bulldogs return to Dewitt Family Field on Wednesday to host a doubleheader with Sacred Heart beginning at 3 p.m.
