We'll get to Dartmouth's tough 7-4 loss in the NCAA women's lacrosse championship game in a bit. First, are you ready for some football? Today's Manchester Union Leader has a nice piece on Big Green opponent New Hampshire, which opens up Sept. 9 against Northwestern in a battle of Wildcats. UNH, by the way, was voted No. 1 in the nation by Lindy's magazine and No. 2 by Any Given Sunday.
Still on football ... The New York Football Giants (as we used to call them) seem to blow hot and cold about signing Jay Fiedler. Read what the Newark Star-Ledger has to say.
Now for that lacrosse. Dartmouth gave it a good shot, carrying a one-goal lead into the second half of yesterday's hard-fought national championship game. In the final analysis, however, Northwestern defended its title by, well, by defending the Big Green. A Dartmouth team averaging 26 shots per game was limited to 10 by the Wildcats, who combined an aggressive defense with a passive offense that kept the ball out of Dartmouth's hands. Here's the Boston Globe story. The Dartmouth recap is here. ... Among those in the record attendance of 5,684: Dartmouth President James Wright and wife Susan. I know they were there because I saw them, but ... even if I hadn't seen them I would have known they were there because my wife told me after the game she lent them her sunscreen. ;-)
