By Stefanie Lazow | May 4, 2009

Dartmouth starter Kyle Hendricks '12 pitched a scoreless seven and one-third innings in a 10-0 shutout Sunday against Cornell to lead Dartmouth to its first Ivy League baseball championship since 1987. Dartmouth (25-15, 16-4 Ivy) took the third and deciding game from the Big Red (17-23, 10-10 Ivy) after Saturday's shattering 14-12 afternoon loss and 8-6 come-from-behind win in Hanover.

By Jack Barrett | May 4, 2009

I sat down with two Dartmouth rugby players, Jeff Kolovson '09 and team captain Conlan O'Leary '09, to talk about rugby, roommates and rivalries with other varsity sports.

CO: That first Saturday when we beat Cornell 112-0 and then Princeton 101-0 for a total of 213-0 on the day, that was just really unprecedented.

By Peter Keshtkar | May 4, 2009

The Dartmouth football team officially ended spring practices with the Green-White scrimmage on Saturday morning, a two-hour session intended to show coaches and fans the squad's progress over the past three weeks. The format, however, did not completely adhere to a standard football game, as the coaches attempted to minimize injury risks.
