In a heartbreaking end to a long and difficult season, the Big Green failed to convert numerous opportunities and fell to the Princeton Tigers 20-13 Saturday. With the loss, Dartmouth dropped to 4-6 overall and 2-5 in the Ivy League, ending the year in last place for the first time since 1956.
In a game emblematic of its disappointing season, the Dartmouth football team lost to Brown University 27-14 in Providence Saturday. The loss dropped the team's record to 2-4 in the Ivy League and 4-5 overall.
Adding to a season already replete with devastating injuries and heartbreaking losses, the Dartmouth football team fell to a tough Cornell squad 17-14 Saturday, in the process losing star running back Pete Oberle '96 to a knee injury and watching its hopes of winning an Ivy League title further dwindle. With the loss, the Big Green drop to 3-3 overall and 1-2 in the league, a full two games behind both Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania (3-0 in the league) with only four games remaining in the season. Also in doubt is whether Oberle, who was hurt in the middle of the first quarter on his second rushing attempt, will be able to return to action this season.
