Green-White Redux

The Dartmouth takes a look at Saturday's Green-White Game on Memorial Field. Safety and new tricaptain Garrett Waggoner had this to say about the nontackling scrimmage:
“The good thing about the non-contact rule was that it limited injuries, and we came out of the game pretty healthy. We showed the coaches on film that we were in the right place at the right time. The defense showed its cohesiveness and demonstrated the ability to swarm to the ball carrier.”
A couple of line drives down the line with runners in scoring position that were snared and an 11th-inning Cornell home run denied the Dartmouth baseball team the Ivy League championship and a return to the NCAA's in the final game of another terrific season. (link)
Although Penn won the Ivy League women's lacrosse championship Dartmouth got a measure of revenge yesterday by winning the conference tournament. (link)

Dartmouth's reward: the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament and a rematch at Syracuse, which beat the Big Green earlier this year in New York, 22-4. Syracuse (16-3) is the No. 4 seed. Penn earned an at-large bid and gets No. 6 seed Loyola.
