Back in Hanover and now off to Harvard for a track meet so this has to be brief ...
Senior Jimmy Mullen, a welcome addition to the football team last fall as a first-time wide receiver, scored with six seconds remaining in overtime Saturday to lift the Dartmouth men's lacrosse team to an 11-10 overtime win at Hartford in the season opener. Mullen led the Big Green with four goals. Find a story here. The Big Green is slated to open the home season Tuesday against Bryant.
The MetroWest Daily News has a feature on Matt Burke, the former Dartmouth defensive back who is the new linebackers coach for the Detroit Lions.
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel writes about Gil Brandt, the former director of scouting for the Dallas Cowboys and today a regular guest analyst on NFL.com. Dig down into the story and there's an anecdote about Brandt being dispatched to sign "star running back," Jake Crouthamel of Dartmouth to a Cowboy contract. The story is well-known but it's fun to see it resurrected (even if Bob Blackman's name is spelled wrong).
The Dartmouth men's basketball team made more history last night, knocking off Princeton, 63-62, to complete the first road sweep of the vaunted "P" programs in 50 years. Although the Big Green is 8-16 overall, it is 6-4 in the Ivy League, tied for second with Columbia and Yale. Cornell leads the loop at 8-2. The Big Red visits Hanover Friday night for the biggest men's basketball game at Leede Arena in years. ... The women's basketball team continued undefeated in the Ivy League with a 43-42 win over Princeton while the ski team wrapped up an undefeated EISA season by winning the Middlebury carnival.
