The No. 16 Dartmouth men's soccer team claimed the first-place rank in the Ivy League this Sunday, defeating last year's co-Ivy League champion, the University of Pennsylvania, 3-1 in Philadelphia, Pa. Snowy and rainy conditions postponed the game by a day, but Dartmouth (8-2-1, 3-0-0 Ivy) was not deterred, as three different goal scorers helped to secure the victory for the Big Green. Winger Austin Bowers '11 found the net early in the first half to give the Big Green a short-lived early lead, until Penn (4-6-3, 0-2-1 Ivy) responded just 10 minutes later.
