ITHACA, N.Y. -- Sophomore Lauren Bucolo slammed three home runs to lift Cornell to a doubleheader sweep of Dartmouth on Saturday afternoon at Niemand*Robison Field. The Big Red took game one 4-2, then earned a 10-8 victory in game two.

Bucolo hit a solo shot in the first game and then belted a two-run shot and another solo homer in the nightcap. In all, Cornell hit six home runs in the sweep of Dartmouth to improve to 12-11 (3-1 Ivy).

Jenny Edwards slammed a three-run game winning homer in game one, breaking a 1-1 tie with her shot to leftfield. The instant offense made a winner out of Jenna Stoller, who was rewarded for her excellent weekend on the mound with her first win of the season. Stoller earned the complete game win, scattering four hits and a walk while surrendering just one earned run. She struck out six.

Cornell scratched out just five hits in the first game, but the bats came alive in game two after spotting Dartmouth a 3-0 lead in the first inning.

The Big Red got back in the game with two runs in the second courtesy of Bucolo's third home run of the day. The home team then tied the game in the third when Edwards led off the inning with her second homer of the day.

With the score tied at 3-3, Cornell took control with an electric seven-run fourth that began with yet another Bucolo home run to put the Big Red in the lead. Katie Watts then doubled to center before Morgan Cawley took a fastball and drove it right back over the centerfield fence to extend the lead ti 6-3. Consecutive singles by freshmen Clare Feely and Linda Laeufer, a Dartmouth error, a Kristin Towne bunt single and an Erin Keene single up the middle all came before the first out was made. A wild pitch scored the sixth run, and Watts came bak to the plate to hit a sacrifice fly to make it 10-3.

Dartmouth scored five runs in its final two at bats, but the Big Red was able to hold on when Lauren Marx enticed a pair of groundouts to work out of trouble and secure Cornell's third straight win.

Cornell returns to action on Tuesday, April 3 when it plays host to Albany beginning at 3 p.m. at Niemand*Robison Field.
