As she neared the last lap of the race, D'Agostino trailed the University of Oregon's Jordan Hasay by just a few steps. But D'Agostino kicked into another gear in the final 400, crossing the line with a time of 15:43.68, almost seven seconds ahead of second-place finisher Betsy Saina, of Iowa State University. Saina had already won the national title in the 10,000-meter and was the last year's NCAA cross-country champion.
Leading from start to finish, the Dartmouth women's sailing team captured the program's third ICSA national championship last week in St. Petersburg, Fla, its first championship since 2000.

In only his second year at Dartmouth, Tyler Sikura '15 has established himself as one of the cornerstones of the men's hockey team on and off the ice. The Aurora, Ont. native came off a dominant freshman season during which he tied for the team lead with 25 points with 11 goals and 14 assists and was one of only five players on the team to dress for all 33 games.
One of the keys for the Big Green will be getting off to a strong start, as sluggish first-half performances have often placed the squad in impossible holes this season. Last week against Harvard, Dartmouth went down 21-0 at halftime before opening the second half with a pair of touchdowns to bring the game within a touchdown. Ultimately, Dartmouth was unable to come all the way back.
Harvard coach Tim Murphy gave the Big Green credit for its tough effort in all three phases of the game.
"We've been down a bunch at halftime, so we thought it was just going to be another one of those adverse situations that we had to work out of," co-captain Pat Lahey '12 said.
While the Big Green did not overcome a double-digit fourth quarter deficit, Dartmouth did stage a comeback of its own, as a touchdown from Columbia running back Marcorus Garrett gave the Lions a 16-14 lead with 2:46 to play. Quarterback Alex Park '14 and the Big Green offense got the ball at the Dartmouth nine-yard line down 16-14, and while the Big Green only needed a field goal for the win, the team still needed a significant drive to get into range for an attempt. After an incomplete pass on first down, Park began a streak of four consecutive completions to Ryan McManus '15 that was only broken by his own 13-yard run. McManus displayed his athleticism on several of the catches, including a 31-yard reception in which McManus streaked down the right sideline and fought off a defender to catch the ball.
The Dartmouth football team returns to Hanover this weekend for the third and final game of its non-conference schedule against Sacred Heart University. The Big Green (3-1, 1-1 Ivy) will look to keep the positive momentum flowing against a tough Pioneers (1-4, 1-2 NEC) team that took home a last-minute victory in the two teams' matchup last season.
The Bulldogs (1-2, 0-1 Ivy) have controlled the rivalry with the Big Green (2-1, 0-1 Ivy) in recent years, winning the last nine matchups in the series. Last year at the Yale Bowl, Dartmouth took one of its biggest losses of the year, falling 30-0 to a talented Yale squad.
After Dartmouth won the coin toss and deferred to the second half, Penn took advantage of its first opportunity with the ball to go on a methodical 13-play, 84-yard drive to score the game's opening touchdown. Dartmouth's offense failed to respond for most of the quarter, with quarterback Alex Park '14 seeing relentless pressure that would be a theme of the game.
With a last-second field goal by Riley Lyons '15, the Big Green overcame a 10-point deficit to defeat the College of the Holy Cross, 13-10, on Saturday at Fritton Field in Worcester, Mass., during the Crusaders' homecoming game. The Big Green (2-0) and the Crusaders (0-3) played in a defensive battle for most of the contest, failing to break a 10-10 deadlock in the second half until the final field goal as time nearly expired.
Butler, which has become known more for its basketball team's recent success, has been a member of the Pioneer League since its inception in 1993, and its football program has won the league twice, in 1994 and 2009. This year's edition of the Bulldogs jumped out to an inconsistent start, losing its first game to Western Illinois University, 23-15. The team regrouped last week by defeating Franklin College, 42-13, while compiling over 550 yards on offense and setting numerous school records in a home nightcap of its own.
For the 2011 Dartmouth football team, the offense focused on a potent rushing attack that featured Dartmouth's all-time leading rusher Nick Schwieger '12 and gained over 60 percent of its total yards on the ground. With the graduation of the star running back, the team looked to rebuild itself with a more balanced and diverse attack and needed a quarterback to lead the way. Very quickly in the preseason, Alex Park '14 established himself as the building block of this rebuilt attack.
