NEW HAVEN, Ct.

Dartmouth rallied from a 37-16 fourth-quarter deficit when Saunier threw 7-yard touchdown passes to Paxton Scott and Daniel Haughton on consecutive possessions to make it 37-30 with 6 1/2 minutes left. After a missed field goal by Yale, Saunier’s 32-yard touchdown run tied it at 37 with 1:22 remaining. Yale reached Dartmouth’s 28 but Nick Conforti missed a 46-yard field goal attempt with 3 seconds left. In overtime, Q Jones scored and Dartmouth led 44-37. Yale responded with a 10-yard pass from Grant Jordan to Chase Nenad but the Bulldogs went for two and Jordan’s pass to David Pantelis was incomplete.
