NEW YORK — Despite scoring first in both games, the baseball team ended its season in New York this weekend exactly as it did last year, falling to Columbia University in the best of three Ivy Championship Series. The Lions (27-17, 15-5 Ivy) took the Big Green (18-21, 11-9 Ivy) 6-2 in game one and 4-1 in game two of a Saturday doubleheader. The loss on enemy turf represents the fourth in a row for the team, leaving the four seniors — Louis Concato ’14, co-captain Jeff Keller ’14, co-captain Dustin Selzer ’14 and Ryan Toimil ’14 — without the gratification of a League title in their careers.
After some deliberation, we have come to the conclusion that our friendship has been built (in part) upon a love of two things: messy buns and elastic waistbands. While there is definitely some camaraderie in consistently looking like you just woke up or wearing gym clothes to create the illusion of fitness, you may be surprised to learn that the vast majority of people don’t view sweatpants with quite the same admiration that we do. Searching desperately for a community that would appreciate our unique sense of style and disdain for restrictive clothing, we ventured down to Mighty Yoga in Hanover for a class.
Dartmouth and Columbia University emerged from the carnage of an all-out battle for the Red Rolfe and Lou Gehrig Division titles last weekend, ending one of the most dramatic regular seasons Ivy League baseball has seen in years. Both teams rallied from second place deficits forged in early season play to come back and take their divisions in one-game playoffs against surprise Division competitors, Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania. This sets up a rematch of last year’s series, which the Lions won.

The beginning of May presents two milestones for the Dartmouth sailing team: one month until the ICSA championship and the thawing of Lake Mascoma. Over the next weeks, the team will have plenty of opportunities to fine-tune technique and break in a brand new fleet of boats as the women prepare to defend their national championship and the coed team looks to improve on last year’s third-place finish.

What could be more soothing than pine trees, fresh air, picturesque New England homes and murky water? A stroll around Occom may seem like the perfect way to get some alone time, but you're guaranteed to run into all sorts of people. I myself have encountered quite the motley crew during my various excursions to this scenic spot.

When Dartmouth’s Steve Mangan ’14 crossed the finish line in the mile race at the indoor Ivy League Heptagonal Championships in Hanover in March, he shattered the Ivy record by nearly three seconds. The previous record-holder — Courtney Jaworski of the University of Pennsylvania — had run his best in 2006 but will soon return to Hanover in a different context, as the head coach of Dartmouth’s women’s cross country team and an assistant coach on the track and field teams.
