Around the Ivies and in games featuring among Dartmouth's other opponents . . .
Princeton 35, Yale 20
Trailing 17-14, the Tigers (8-1, 5-1 Ivy League) drove 75 yards in less than a minute to take the lead with three seconds to go before the half and went on to run off 20 consecutive points against the Bulldogs (5-4, 4-2). Princeton harassed Yale quarterback Nolan Grooms into 14-for-36 passing for just 102 yards with three interceptions. The Tigers limited Yale to 58 yards of offense and three points in the second half and now can claim at least a share of the Ivy League title with a win at Penn. Attendance at the game in Princeton, delayed for 90 minutes by thunder and lightning, was 7,686.
Harvard 23 Penn 7
Aaron Shampklin bookended the scoring with a 72-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and a 16-yard burst in the fourth as Harvard (7-2 4-2) kept its slim Ivy League title hopes alive. The Crimson has to win Saturday against Yale and hope both Dartmouth and Princeton lose. Penn (3-6, 1-5) managed just 60 rushing yards and quarterback Aidan Sayin was intercepted three times, starting with the Quakers’ first play. Shampklin finished with 116 yards rushing and Jonah Lipel booted three field goals for the Crimson. Attendance at Harvard Stadium was 8,094.
Columbia 33, Brown 17
Trailing 14-0 midway through the third quarter, the Lions (6-3, 3-3) reeled off 23 consecutive points on three Joe Green touchdown passes and a field goal in the win over Brown (2-7, 1-5). The victory in a game delayed 60 minutes by lightning guarantees Columbia its third winning season in four years. Attendance at the northern tip of Manhattan was 3,918.
Rhode Island 28, New Hampshire 3
The Wildcats (3-7, 2-5 CAA) managed just 159 yards of offense as they lost their seventh game in a row. UNH managed just 24 yards rushing with a long of six yards, averaging 1.0 yards per attempt. Rhode Island (7-3, 4-3 CAA) scored a single touchdown in each quarter. Attendance in Kingston, R.I., was 4,661.
Sacred Heart 27, Wagner 0
Julius Chestnut ran for 106 yards on 14 carries and Malik Grant 51 yards on 10 rushes as the Pioneers (7-3, 5-1 NEC) used a balanced attack and a stifling defense to keep Wagner (0-9, 0-5) winless. Wagner managed just 35 passing yards. The game was stopped with 9:35 remaining because of lightning and called by agreement between the teams. Attendance at Sacred Heart was 3,483.
Valparaiso 47, Butler 3
The Bulldogs (4-6, 4-3) surrendered the first points of the game and then went on to score their most lopsided Division I win ever. Quarterback Ben Nimz was an efficient 19-of-24 for 241 yards and three touchdowns without an interception for Valpo, which got 102 yards and two touchdowns on the ground from Robert Washington. Butler (2-8, 0-7) was held to 98 yards passing and 93 yards rushing. Attendance at the Butler Bowl was 2,548.

The most stunning score yesterday wasn't on the football field at all. It was Dartmouth's 69-60 win over Patrick Ewing's Georgetown basketball team in front of 8,641 at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. Taurus Samuels hit 6-of-10 shots from outside the arc to finish with 23 points and Brendan Barry drained 6-of-12 from long range while scoring 19 points. All totaled the Big Green made 16-of-38 triples while evening its record at 1-1. Georgetown, picked 10th of 11 teams in the Big East, shot just 38.9 percent from the field. Dartmouth blocked five Hoyas shot to three from Georgetown and held its own on the boar where the home team's advantage was just 39-34. Dartmouth led by as many as 22 points. Georgetown's biggest lead was two points and that was for just 16 seconds. The Big Green's last win over a major college opponent was against Texas A&M in 1989.
