Brown tops men's lax

Ghosts from seasons past haunted the men's lacrosse team this Saturday in Providence. The 19th-ranked Big Green lost 10-9 to seventh-ranked Brown in a manner that conjured up memories from last season. Fourth-quarter comebacks by opponents resulted in tough one-goal losses for the Big Green several times last year, and it happened again this weekend. Dartmouth held a 7-5 advantage over the Bears heading into the fourth quarter, only to have Brown explode for five goals in the final 15 minutes.
