An early penalty and first-half try put the Big Green up 10-5 at the half, but a strong Navy (5-0, Rugby East) forward line proved too much for Dartmouth (2-3, Rugby East), as it scored four successive tries in the second half, also securing bonus points.

Big Green starting quarterback Connor Kempe '12 was arrested for marijuana possession on April 4, according to the Hanover Police Department. Kempe will be charged with a violation on the civil level instead of the criminal level, according to Kempe's attorney George Ostler '77. "They chose to proceed on a civil level, which is not unusual for how the police proceed against young people who have never been involved in the system before," Ostler said in an interview with The Dartmouth. Kempe will appear before the Lebanon District Court in May and will likely be penalized with a $500 fine, according to Ostler. After playing in all 10 games and throwing eight of the team's 10 touchdown passes this fall, Kempe posted a 54.2 completion percentage, throwing for an average 165 yards per game. In the 2009 season, Kempe saw an increase in playing time, starting five consecutive games after quarterback Alex Jenny '10 was injured. Kempe, Athletic Director Harry Sheehy and head football coach Buddy Teevens declined to comment.
