Dartmouth Men Win Big Over Yale at Homecoming

Dartmouth hosted Yale this past weekend in front of a terrific Homecoming crowd at Brophy Field. It was the teams’ second meeting and the Big Green’s last home match of the fall XVs season. Yale had been playing good rugby in recent weeks and Dartmouth went into the game looking to implement the systems and goals they’d been working towards in practice and improve on their previous performance. The Big Green scored first and played strongly for eighty minutes en route to an 81-12 victory.
