The first really nice day of spring was a great day for Dartmouth men's tennis, which defeated Princeton, 4-1, to win the Ivy League title for the first time since 1997 and just the third time ever. Dartmouth will claim the title outright if Cornell upsets Columbia this Saturday or will share it if the Lions prevail. Bragging rights belong to the Big Green either way, the result of a 4-3 win over Columbia in New York City. Dartmouth improved to 20-5 overall and 6-1 in the Ivy League and is ranked No. 27 in the nation. (LINK)
