Week Nine Roundup

The official Dartmouth Sports Information release on the Brown game is here. The Brown Sports Information release is here. The Providence Journal did not staff the Brown-Dartmouth game but has this blurb.

Here is today's Ivy League/opponent roundup ...

Penn 17, Harvard 7
The Quakers grab at least a share of the crown and with a home game against reeling Cornell next week, they have to like their chances of locking up the outright title. The Crimson needs a win at home and a Big Red upset of Penn to earn a share.

Princeton 24, Yale 17
A satisfying win over a big rival for coach Roger Hughes and his crew (who will be in Hanover Saturday) as they get 247 rushing yards and 16-of-23 passing against a once-dominant Yale defense.

Columbia 30, Cornell 20
Quarterback Milli Olawale returns to action and runs for two second-half touchdown runs to give the Lions their third road win of the year.

Holy Cross 28, Lafayette 26
Dominic Randolph throws for two touchdowns and runs for one as Holy Cross and former Dartmouth assistant Tom Gilmore clinch the Patriot League title and a trip to the NCAA playoffs.

Colgate 29, Bucknell 14
Still another big second half for the Raiders, who score 20 points after the break.

The Omaha World-Herald has a story about Joe Moglia, the onetime Dartmouth assistant turned CEO of TD Ameritrade who has returned to football after 25 years and now wants to be a Division I head coach. From the story:

At Dartmouth, he had lived for two years in an unheated storage loft above the football office because he couldn't afford to maintain two households on an assistant coach's salary.

An interesting nugget in the story: Moglia last year applied for the Yale head coaching position. He also spoke to UMass about its opening last year.

And finally, that certain Hanover High senior went to Connecticut yesterday to watch her cross country team finish fourth in the New England championships. Although she had hoped to be ready to run by New Englands, it wasn't to be. Still, the competitive athlete in her bubbled to the surface when she excitedly talked about how runners were slipping and falling in the mud and how much she wished she could have been out there fighting the elements.
