Softball wins its first Ivy League contest as a varsity team: 6-4 victory over Brown earns Dartmouth respect in league, caps off otherwise disappointing weekend games

By Kate Shanahan | April 11, 1995

The Dartmouth softball team wonders if Brown will play them with the same attitude next year. The team defeated Brown on Sunday, 6-4 for its first ever Ivy League victory as a varsity team to give Dartmouth a 1-3 Ivy League record. For the Big Green, it was an exceptional defeat, considering Brown refused to play Dartmouth last year because of the Big Green's club status. The victory capped an otherwise disappointing weekend that saw the team drop a tough doubleheader to Fairfield on Friday and lose to Yale on Saturday "Before we played Brown we had the attitude that we could beat them," Coach Hank Tenney said. "In the first inning, we hit really well and then continued to play great defense" Tenney said.
