After a couple of disheartening losses at the hands of two non-conference opponents, Dartmouth football recovered beautifully on Homecoming Saturday, beating the Columbia Lions 37-28 in front of a sizable and enthusiastic home crowd.

The Big Green played very steady golf through both days of the tournament.

The Dartmouth men's soccer team nabbed a victory over Columbia Saturday evening, beating out the Lions 2-1.
Grey Cusack The Dartmouth field hockey (4-9, 1-4 Ivy) team wanted to make a statement in Saturday's Homecoming match-up against Columbia (8-5, 3-5 Ivy). With only two weeks and four games left in a roller coaster season, the Big Green needed to ignite some kind of spark so it could conclude the season on a strong note.

Jennie Post / The Dartmouth Staff Dartmouth football took its homecoming fans on a wild, emotional roller coaster in the fourth quarter Saturday, but pulled out a 37-28 victory over Columbia. The Big Green (2-4, 2-1 Ivy) were in a familiar position after the Lions (1-5, 0-3 Ivy) drove 96 yards in six plays to tie the game at 28-28 with 9:54 remaining in the fourth quarter.
The Dartmouth women's volleyball team (12-6, 5-3 Ivy) had two more pitfalls this weekend as the team faced its toughest Ivy League competition to date and lost close games on Friday to Penn (12-7, 5-2 Ivy) and Saturday to Princeton (15-3, 7-0 Ivy). Coming into the weekend, the Big Green knew that it would not have a Homecoming cakewalk, as the team was facing the first and third teams in the Ivy League standings.
Tilman Dette / The Dartmouth Staff Big Green football traveled down to Worcester on Saturday with the hopes of gaining some momentum to propel the team into its remaining five Ivy League (and season) games.
Jessica Griffen / The Dartmouth Staff For many Dartmouth teams, the games played this weekend will be the most important of their seasons, both because it is Homecoming and because for a number of teams, wins this weekend will push them well on the way to Ivy League success. Big Green football (1-4, 1-1 Ivy) hopes to improve on its form of late and turn its season around against Columbia after tough road losses to Yale and Holy Cross.
I'm an absolute sports junkie. If I weren't, I wouldn't be writing this column. I also happen to be the son of a Dartmouth-educated father, whose first stuffed animal was a teddy bear with a Dartmouth green sweater with a large white D on it (originally enough, I named him "D-Bear.") Unlike most people out there, I was brought up looking for Dartmouth football/basketball scores on the ESPN crawl at the bottom of the television.
