HANOVER, N.H. - Sophomore Jessica Croucher (Brisbane, Australia) was named to the Dartmouth Invitational All-Tournament team Saturday despite the Delaware State University volleyball team losing 3-0 to Dartmouth in the final game of the weekend.

Croucher finished the three match tournament with 27 kills, 18 digs and a .141 attack percentage.

Against the Big Green, the sophomore outside hitter recorded eight kills and eight digs.

Dartmouth overpowered the Hornets in the first set of the match, defeating them 25-14.  The set included a 9-2 run from the Big Green in the middle of the set.

In the second set, Del State allowed Dartmouth to take a 10-3 lead and never fully recovered, eventually falling, 25-15.

The Hornets came out with more fight and vigor in the third set, but it wasn't enough as the Big Green outmatched them, 25-22.   Things were tied at 21-21 before Dartmouth rattled off three straight points, forcing a DSU timeout.  The Hornets came out of the timeout with a kill from Croucher to bring things to 24-22, but a kill from Dartmouth's Maura Manley finished the match.

The victory puts the Big Green at 8-3 on the season while the Hornets drop to 1-10 in their final regular season tournament.

DSU wraps up Route 1 Rivalry week with the University of Delaware on Tuesday as the two schools' volleyball teams match-up in a 7 p.m. contest at the Viera Court on the UD campus.
