Softball ends three-game win streak in close game at UConn

By Tianchi Xu | April 17, 2009

The Dartmouth softball team came up short against the University of Connecticut on Wednesday afternoon in Storrs, Conn., as the Huskies halted a three-game Big Green winning streak by a score of 5-3. Dartmouth (18-15, 9-3 Ivy) still maintains its lead atop the North Division of the Ivy League, while the Huskies (25-12, 7-6 Big East) continue their midseason resurgence, notching their 11th victory in the last 12 games. Heading into its second non-conference game in less than a week, the Big Green looked to capitalize on its momentum after sweeping a doubleheader with Brown last Sunday, co-captain Christy Autin '10 said. "We faced some hardship early in the season while up against some of the biggest and best programs in the country, and since we've been home," she said.

The Dartmouth women's track and field team took first place in the Brown Invitational, edging out Brown by less than three points.

Conference commissioner Dr. Elliot Lilien said that Seliger earned this award because he is a "steady and crafty" fencer with a strong record in league competition.
