Team wraps up season with 13-10 loss to Ivy rival Harvard
Although yesterday's men's lacrosse game between Dartmouth and UNH unequivocally settled the question of who is the best lacrosse team in the state, the question of who is New Hampshire's premiere attackman should still be chalked up as an unsolved mystery. The Big Green easily handled the Wildcats 20-12, led by hulking attackmen Tom Scott '96 and Scott Hapgood '97.

Yesterday's men's lacrosse game could have been the biggest shoot that did not include postal employees in years if the University of Vermont's offense had been able to penetrate the iron curtain of Dartmouth's defense. Yesterday's game could have been a hard-nosed defensive battle if UVM had held the lean mean scoring machine Scott Hapgood '97 to under five goals. Yesterday's game could have been an epic tale of two teams battling with pride and determination to attain the status of "the champion" if UVM had found some way to slow down the high-powered Big Green lacrosse team. As Vermont discovered, all the "could have been's" in the world do not win lacrosse games.
The first half of Saturday's lacrosse game between Brown and Dartmouth was as emotional as a Ricki Lake show about mother's who steal there satan-worshipping daughter's transvestite boyfriends, as Dartmouth tried to recover from its loss to Yale and Brown tried to seek a playoff tournament birth. Brown prevailed in the end, however, pulling ahead of the Big Green to take a 17-6 victory. Brown jumped out to an early lead, but Dartmouth was determined to keep pace with the Bears.
Yesterday, Yale's men's lacrosse team escaped the angst and urban decay of New Haven, Conn., enjoying a sweet 15-7 victory over old foe Dartmouth and avenging an embarrassing home loss a year ago. And emotions ran high. Not only were the two teams vying for the Ivy League championship, and a possible tournament berth, but the teams were tied for the 18th seed in the country. The two teams got into a dog fight in the first half as they scrapped for every ground ball, goal and possession.
Team holds its own in game against 11th ranked Notre Dame
The University of Pennsylvania showed why they are called the Quakers by providing little more than passive resistance against Dartmouth's high-powered offense.
