(Rather than keep you in suspense while I pull together the full G&W report, I'm posting the same recap that I wrote to help out the Dartmouth sports information office. Check back in a bit for the full Green Alert report.)

Hanover -- Freshman Josh Cohen completed 9-of-12 passes for 124 yards and touchdowns in the final minute of both the first half and the second half as Dartmouth's White team defeated the Green team in the final action of spring in Memorial Field, 21-14.
Cohen's 14-yard strike to senior Ryan Fuselier (3 catches for 55 yards) on the final play of the first half made it 7-7 at the break. Trailing 14-13 as the final possession began, Cohen drove the White team 65 yards in six plays with the winning points coming when 6-foot-5 junior Brendan Holm went high to pull the ball down in a crowd at the goal line with 53 seconds to play.
Junior Mike Fritz drove the Green all the way to the 13 yard-line on the ensuing possession only to have time run out.
Statistical leaders on the day included freshman Philip Galligan with six catches for 83 yards and one touchdown for the Green, senior tailback Jason Bash with 11 carries for 58 yards for the same squad and freshman safety Casey Frost, who returned the game's only interception 95 yards to the Green 1 before being tackled by the hustling Galligan.
"It was a good day," Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens said. "... I was encouraged by the competitiveness on both sides. We had guys who hadn't played together in the past and it all worked out really well. It was nice to see it go right down to the wire and nice to see a winning drive at the end."
At the conclusion of the post-scrimmage cookout, senior defensive tackle Mike Rabil (Gaithersburg, Md.) and junior offensive tackle Preston Copley (Louisville, Ky.) were introduced as Dartmouth's 2006 captains.
The Big Green opens the season at Colgate on Sept. 16.
