Dartmouth 26, Princeton 17

PRINCETON, N.J. —Quarterback Grayson Saunier scored on a pair of 1-yard runs in the second quarter and QB Jackson Proctor had a touchdown pass to propel Dartmouth to a 26-17 Ivy League victory over Princeton on Friday night.

Saunier capped eight- and nine-play drives for Dartmouth (7-1, 4-1 Ivy League) with touchdown runs, and Proctor passed to Chris Corbo for a 5-yard score with 15 seconds left to give the Big Green a 21-7 halftime lead.

GAME STATISTICS

Proctor completed 21-of-30 passes for 185 yards and carried the ball seven times for 30 yards.

Blaine Hipa completed 11 of 18 passes for 137 yards and two touchdowns for Princeton (2-6, 1-4).

The only points in the third quarter came when Hipa connected with Luke Colella for an 18-yard touchdown to help the Tigers pull within seven points, 21-14. The score came one play after Dartmouth was called for pass interference on fourth-and-two play at the Big Green 33 yard-line.

Dartmouth took a two-score lead with 9:58 left to play on a 44-yard field goal by Owen Zalc. The kick came after Princeton’s AJ Barber fumbled on a punt return and Braden Mullen recovered for the Big Green.

Sam Massick had a 27-yard field goal to get the Tigers within 24-17 with 6:30 remaining. Princeton got the ball back at its own 2-yard line, but Hipa was called for intentional grounding in the end zone, resulting in a safety for the final margin.
