Coming And Going

To the list of Dartmouth recruits add the name of Charlie Prior, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound linebacker/safety from the powerhouse Loyola Academy program in the Chicago suburbs. Prior had reported offers from Penn, San Diego and Butler, but chose instead to play under Don Dobes, who has a history of bringing in outstanding linebackers from Chicagoland.

Prior was a Chicago Catholic League All-Conference selection and helped Loyola win its third consecutive state title this fall.

Kudos to the University of Vermont for winning the NCAA men's Division I soccer national championship last night with an overtime victory against Marshall in the College Cup.

While UVM has won the NCAA skiing championship in the past, this is its first natty in a sport with a championship contest. (LINK)
