The Cambridge Nemesis

HARVARD ended the bid of the men's lacrosse team for a share of the Ivy League championship in the final league game of the season. The Crimson ripped off six unanswered goals in the third and fourth periods en route to a 9-6 victory on Chase Field. Scoring leader Jeff Hickey increased his point total to 62 for the year as he scored three of Dartmouth's four goals that gave the Green a 4-2 lead midway through the third quarter. Dartmouth entered the game with a 9-2 record and an exciting 12-11 victory over Cornell in the preceding game. It was Cornell's first Ivy League loss in 39 games and the first time Dartmouth had beaten the Big Red in 14 years.

"This is a group of outstanding individuals who play well together," said Whitey Burnham, assistant athletic director, during a break in the action against Harvard. Burnham coached Dartmouth's last Ivy lacrosse champion back in 1965. He noted that Cornell was able to isolate Hickey, who now holds the College's career scoring and goal records, and limit him to one goal. "But we had the ability to pick up the slack," he said. Burnham called Coach Dud Hendrick's club one of the best Dartmouth has had in a decade and called Hickey one of the top three or four Dartmouth players since the graduation of John Walters in 1962.
