DRFC survives marathon week
The rain was hammering Sachem field Thursday afternoon as the Dartmouth B-side kicked off against the University of New Brunswick B-side. This early game resulted in a disappointing 31-0 Dartmouth loss. However as the clouds parted the sun and rugby gods seemed to smile upon the Men in Green. In the A-side match the DRFC opened with a relentless, dynamic attack that gave them a quick 17-0 lead. An early penalty kick by fullback Andrew Caspary '06 began the day for the Dartmouth offensive machine, which scored 39 points on the afternoon. Following the New Brunswick kickoff, Jarred Hyatt '06 picked up a spectacular poach that was quickly spun out to fly half Jesse Blom '06 and fed to crashing center Scott Penner '06 for the try and conversion by Caspary. The next Dartmouth score came as New Brunswick was pinned down on its own five-meter. Prop Brad "Cheese" Fierstein '06 shot up from the Dartmouth defensive line like a portly lightning bolt picking off the pass from the UNB flyhalf to its center.
