Elis, Tigers and Bruins Win In First Round of Ivy Tourney

For the six teams that competed in the first round of the Ivy League women's soccer championship yesterday, it was literally an all-or-nothing affair.

Brown, Yale and Princeton, respectively, shut-out the University of Pennsylvania. Cornell and Dartmouth, disrespectfully, to gain entrance into today's 10 a.m. second round matches at the Business School fields.

After receiving a "bye" in the first round, number-one seed Harvard challenges the Tigers this morning, while Brown takes on Princeton.

Tacky

Any interior designer will tell you that green and orange clash and yesterday was no exception as Princeton and Dartmouth used completely different playing strategies. A strong wind, however, stifled the Big Green's kick-and-run attack while allowing the skillful Tigers to control ground play and secure a win.

Although they went into the game missing five injured starters, the Tigers notched a first score at 32:54 in the first half when Julie Kellogg followed up a bobbled shot on goal. Dartmouth came out aggressively in the second half, registering 24 shots on goal, but could not find the net before Princeton scored again to wrap up the game at 42:56 on a penalty kick.

"We were lucky not to get scored on in the second half," Princeton coach Bob Malekoff said last night. "We played well the first half, but were sucked in during the second."

Earlier in the season, the Crimson easily topped the Tigers, 4-0, and Malekoff said that the only way his team could beat Harvard today would be "to tighten up and not make any mistakes."

Instant Replay

In what appeared to be a slow motion replay of a soccer match, Yale knocked Cornell out of the running, 2-0. Taking advantage of the boring pace, speedy freshman forward Liz Traver recorded two goals for the Elis. The first came ten minutes into the game when she beat out the Big Red's goalie on a one-on-one situation, and the second arrived at 26:04 in the last period.

In this year's dual meet Brown humiliated Yale, 5-0, in "the worst game we ever played." Yale coach Chico Chacurian said yesterday. "I won't say we are going to surprise Brown tomorrow, but we'll be out there," he added.

Topsy Turvy

Easily the most lopsided match in history since Germany invaded Poland, Brown devastated UPenn, 8-0. After jumping ahead to a 3-0 lead at halftime, the Bruins turned it on at the start of the second period. Bruin senior Dora Herrera led the slaughter by registering a hat trick in less than seven minutes.

A first year club team, UPenn was denied a face-saving goal when the referee called back the scoring play on a questionable offsides call. Except for that shot, the Quakers hardly threatened the Bruins second-string squad.

Second round matches will start at 10 a.m. today at the Business School fields. The winners will advance into the final at 3 p.m., while the losers will compete in a consolation game at the same time.
