HANOVER, N.H. -- The Cornell softball team split a Saturday doubleheader at Dartmouth, falling in game on 2-0 before picking up a 3-1 victory in the nightcap at Dartmouth Softball Park. The Big Red improved to 17-22 (7-13) and closed out the circuit with at least one win against each Ivy foe. Dartmouth is now 19-24 (13-6 Ivy). The teams will complete the 2022 season in a rubber game on Sunday, May 8 at 12:30 p.m.

Game One
Mia Burd scattered four hits and two runs over 6.0 innings or work, striking out for while issuing just one walk in the hard-luck loss. Hanna Crist was 3-for-3 with a stolen base and Olivia Rooney was 2-for-3, but the bottom six in the order combined to go 1-fo-18.

Megan Hagge was just fractionally better, allowing six hits without surrendering a walk and keeping the Big Red off the board over the first six innings before Rachel McCarroll grabbed the save by throwing a scoreless seventh. 
 
Both Dartmouth runs came in the fifth against Burd on a triple to center by Billie McFadyen to plate two runners that reached on infield singles for the Big Red.

Game Two
The Big Red jumped out to a 3-0 lead, Hanna Crist slammed her ninth home run of the season and Cornell split Saturday's doubleheader behind a gem in the circle by Gabrielle Maday.

Maday went the distance, scattering five hits and two walks with just one earned run allowed in picking up the victory. She struck out two and stranded seven baserunners, keeping the Big Green off balance all afternoon.

Emily Muniz was 2-for-4 and each of the top six in the batting order had at least one hit. Dartmouth scored once in the third to cut into the Big Red's advantage, but Maday stranded two in the sixth to keep the lead where it was.
