An excerpt from The Dartmouth:...The two wins this weekend put the Big Green at 6-4 in the Ivy League, two games behind league-leading Cornell.
Under most scenarios, Dartmouth must win all of its remaing games thsi season. The Big Green will face Cornell and Columbia this weekend, followed by Yale and Brown the final weekend of the season.
“I think that a sense of urgency has been adopted by the team,” Pride said. “We all understand what is riding on these games. If we lose, it’s over. Our backs are against the wall, and we know it.”
Dartmouth’s title hopes will also depend on strong efforts from Penn and Princeton in their remaining matches against Cornell. The Big Red holds a two-game lead over Dartmouth in the Ivy League standings, and must lose two of its remaining four games to create an opening for Dartmouth to take a share of the League crown.
The Big Green returns to Dartmouth this Friday and Saturday to play Cornell and Columbia at Leede Arena. Both games tip off at 7 p.m.
