The Big Green (6-3-1, 1-0-1 Ivy League) pressured the Bulldogs (4-5-1, 0-2-0) from the start, making significant runs into the Yale half throughout the first. Dartmouth's first threat came in the seventh minute when Norwell’s (Mass.) Olsen drew a foul on the left side and sent the ensuing free kick into the box. Henderson was there for a well-timed header but sent the ball just high.
The Bulldogs attacked midway through the half and Brad Rose headed the ball with a clear shot at the goal but Dartmouth back Donnie Surdoval came blazing in to head it right back out.
The teams battled in midfield for most of the half though Dartmouth had another big opportunity in the 42nd minute after Olsen sent in a corner kick that was headed back and forth in the box. Surdoval eventually turned and fired a shot that was blocked by the defense and cleared out.
Dartmouth freshman Lucky Mkosana got things started in the second half with a solo breakaway and a one-on-one with Chulick who made a point-blank save. In the 65th minute, Henderson drew a foul just outside the box after a breakaway and Mkosna stepped up for the free kick but fired right into the Yale wall.
The Big Green finally broke through in the 75th minute after drawing another free kick in Yale territory. Olsen stepped up on the far left side from 30 yards out and sent in a ball that could have been a goal in its own right. For good measure, however, a diving Henderson header found the back of the net and the Big Green took a 1-0 lead.
Dartmouth finished with 12 shots to Yale's six. Chulick made five saves in goal while Dartmouth keeper Sean Milligan (Westport, Conn.) had one.
Dartmouth is back in action this Wednesday when it travels to fellow Northeast power UConn for a 7:00 p.m. start.
