HANOVER, N.H. – The FDU Knights (3-1-1, 0-0) took on the Dartmouth Big Green (1-1, 0-0) resulting in the Knights first loss of the season by a score of 4-1.

In front of a home crowd, the Dartmouth Big Green took a 2-0 lead in the first half with two goals within six minutes.
 
Dartmouth had the advantage of five shots on goal in comparison to the Knights three. FDU lead the first half with six corner kicks while Dartmouth had none.
 
In the 47', Takuto Nishide scored his first FDU goal with an assist from Jeffrey Marquez to get the Knights on the board. 
 
Dartmouth closed the game with a goal with five minutes left on the clock.
 
"Tonight was a learning experience for us," said head coach Jaymee Highcock. " Overall we played some great soccer and created more than enough chances to win the game. Our press was good and we created lots of dangerous turnovers in the final 1/3. However, the game is won in both boxes and tonight we were simply not good enough. We will learn and become better from tonight's game."
 

WHAT'S NEXT
