The Big Red held the Big Green at bay in the final three sets after allowing the home team to hit .346 to open the match. Dartmouth hit just .022 (32-29-134) over the final three as Cornell rallied for the victory.

Dartmouth controlled the first set, scoring eight straight points after the Big Red got back within 8-7 early. The Big Green hit .346 in the set and shook off four kills from Sroufe and three from Robinson, winning 25-17 despite Cornell posting more kills (13-11). The Big Red turned it around in the second, taking the lead midway through the set and finishing the Big Green off with a Wemhoff kill.  The Big Red trailed 17-11 in the fourth set before rallying and won it on Sroufe's kill on match-point.

The Big Red closes out the 2014 season when it visits Harvard on Saturday at 5 p.m. in Cambridge, Mass.
