Although Siena defeated Dartmouth in a 51-49 thriller last year and holds an 8-5 edge in the all-time series record, the Big Green improved its overall record to 7-3 on the season with the win and halted the Saints' four-game winning streak against Dartmouth.

Crew ends fall season in Boston

The Dartmouth crew program can have high expectations for their spring season after turning in impressive times at their fall regattas. This past weekend's regatta, the Foot of the Charles, concluded the Big Green's fall schedule. Perhaps the most impressive performance of Dartmouth's crew was the lightweight "C" boat racing in the men's varsity four division. The boat, crewed mainly by sophomores, turned in the Big Green's top time in the race, finishing in front of Dartmouth's three other lightweight boats and all three heavyweight boats. The lightweight "C" finished 20th out of the 48-boat race. The Big Green's lightweight "A" freshman eight rowed their way to a strong finish, beating 22 of the 28 teams in their race including Harvard's lightweight "A" boat. Dartmouth's heavyweight "A" boat finished just seconds behind and wound up with eighth place. It was the first race for the heavyweight crew with "stacked" boats; they had previously split up their best rowers between two boats in "mixed" competition. Christopher Brouwer '09, the two-seat in the freshman heavyweight "A" boat, was pleased with the team's performance but is cautious of complacency. "In comparison to past years, we did pretty well as far as the standings go," he said. "We rowed really well technically, which is one of our big focuses over the fall especially for the heavyweights.

The game proved to be a lopsided affair from the opening tip.
