When the Dartmouth men's soccer team stepped onto a muddy Chase Field on Sunday, it knew it was out to earn some respect from its Ivy League foe, Columbia, and salvage the remains of what has been an up and down season with a victory.

"Right now I think Harvard and Cornell will get bids no matter what," co-Captain Dave Moran '96 said.

Yesterday afternoon the Dartmouth men's soccer team reaffirmed the notion that the Big Green are a dangerous team on the rise with an impressive 2-0 victory over nationally ranked Northeastern. Even though the final score was only 2-0, this was not a close game at all -- it was Dartmouth all the way. "Our back four was the key for us today," Coach Fran O'Leary said.
When the Dartmouth men's soccer team traveled to New Jersey on Saturday to face off against a Princeton team that was nationally ranked at the start of the season, they were fully expecting a battle. And that's exactly what they got.
