Dartmouth Men 64 - Columbia Men 0
The only major difference for the Big Green the next day against Columbia would be the lack of a rush to get to the field on time. Once again, Clark and Hughes would wreak havoc in the early minutes, with each of them putting in a try stemming from handy catch-pass work from the Big Green interior backs. Their counterpart in the back three, wing and soccer-convert Justin Ciambella ‘13 would soon get in the act as well with a score of his own after a deft pass from co-captain and flyhalf Will Lehmann ’12, to increase the lead to 19-0.
Brown Men 39 - Cornell Men 17

Dartmouth Wins Big at Cornell
As might be expected, Dartmouth had a hot start in their match against Cornell. Aided by tries from fullback Madison Hughes ’15, lock Nate Brakeley ’12, and a pair from wing Kevin Clark ’14, The Big Green jumped out to a 26-0 lead within the first ten minutes, as they were able to go-forward in virtual all of the contact exchanges.

There was a College 7s Tournament ...
Chester, PA isn’t exactly the Riviera, but the town did the job. PPL Park is a wonderful facility and a beautiful stadium, with comfortable seats and a nice roof for the fans so they don’t bake or soak. The stadium is right on the Delaware River under the shadow of the Commodore Barry Bridge, which provides a lovely setting.
