Women's hoops splits
If people still doubted that the Dartmouth women's basketball team was for real, they've certainly changed their minds by now. The Big Green emerged from their toughest road swing of the season with an impressive 59-55 defeat of two-time defending Ivy League Champion Brown and a hard-fought 69-65 loss to Yale. The weekend's two-game split upped the Big Green's record to 9-8 overall, and kept them perched atop the Ivy League standings with a 4-1 record. Not bad for a team that was picked to finish 5th in the preseason media poll.
