I knew this would happen. I just knew it. I almost blame myself. I knew that if we gave Ryan Karr one chance at the big time, his very own Sports Weekly back-page column, it would get to his head.
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. "It's incredible," Johnathon Santopadre '09 said after Sunday's win.
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. What were some of the defining moments this year in terms of setting the tone for total domination in the Ivy League? 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.

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.

Jessica Griffen / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Under the sweltering sun, the Big Green softball team fell 10-2 to a hard-hitting Boston College team on Tuesday in Chestnut Hill, Mass. Dartmouth (22-21, 13-7 Ivy) had seven hits, compared to the twelve recorded by BC (18-28, 3-12 ACC). With these numbers, the game could have been closer, co-captain Ashley Gleason '09 said. "We did well in the box," she said.
In case you haven't noticed yet, the weather has been gorgeous in Hanover lately. Sure, we got a little rain the other day, but that is behind us, and spring is in full bloom -- even feeling like summer at times. My colleagues, Jordan Rose '09 and Michael Knapp '09, stumbled through a vain attempt at giving a few trite suggestions as to what to do when when the weather is warm in the "Toe to Toe" column on Sunday, but I think I can do better.
