Big Green volleyball still winless

|

The women's volleyball team remained winless as losses to Columbia and Cornell in Leede Arena last weekend lowered their record to 0-12 overall and 0-5 in the Ivy League. Friday, the Big Green lost to Columbia 12-15, 15-4, 15-6, 15-13, despite rallying to a 13-13 tie in the final game of the match. The following day, defending Ivy League champion Cornell brought its undefeated Ancient Eight record into Leede Arena and downed the Big Green 15-4, 14-16, 15-3, 15-8. The Cornell team proved to be too tall for Dartmouth, as it controlled the net most of the game.

|

Pennsylvania 36, Columbia 7 Quaker Quarterback Jim McGeehan completed 23 passes for 284 yards and three touchdowns as Penn stayed undefeated with a 36-7 crushing of the hapless Columbia Lions to pull into a first place tie with Princeton in the Ancient Eight race. Sophomore Miles Macik, who caught nine of those passes for 104 yards and two touchdowns, is the top receiver in Division I-AA and has already tied a school record for TD receptions in a season. Columbia signal caller Chad Andrzelewaki scrambled for 39 of the Lions 65 running yards of the day and scored his team's only touchdown against a Penn defense that is ranked eleventh nationally. Princeton 31, Lehigh 23 Princeton, the Division I-AA's 24th ranked team, pumped its overall record to 5-0 with a 31-23 win over Lehigh in a game that saw the Engineers aerial attack shred the Ivy League's top-rated defense for 400 yards of passing. Keith Elias kept his position as the Division I-AA's top rusher as he piled up 160 yards despite playing with an injured hip.
