The Princeton Tigers won their final match of the season. A 35-14 victory over Dartmouth that assured them of a place in the top half of the Ivy standings.

Princeton was led by Chisom Opara, who recorded 149 receiving yards and scored two touchdowns.

The Tigers look to be a solid competitor next year, returning Opara, running back Cam Atkinson, and quarterback David Splithoff. Princeton will be hurt by the loss of NFL-caliber kicker Taylor Northrop.

With its 38-14 loss to Penn, Cornell (2-7, 2-5 Ivy) finished a tough season under first year coach Tim Pendergast.

The Big Red was at the losing end of its bout with Pennsylvania this past weekend in Philadelphia, 38-14.

The Big Red loss marked the end of the stories career f quarterback Ricky Rahne. In his final game in a Cornell uniform, Rahne passed for 271 yards and made the Ivy League Honor Roll.

Cornell will lose only nine starters to graduation and could be a sleeper team in the league next year if they can replace Rahne’s production.

Yale and Dartmouth tied for last place in the league. The Bulldogs (3-6, 1-6 Ivy) and Big Green (1-8, 1-6 Ivy) each managed only one win in disappointing seasons.

Dartmouth started out its season strong with a close loss to Penn and a victory over projected contender Yale, before suffering a key injury to quarterback Greg Smith.

After Smith’s injury they would not win another game, but the Green has several reasons for optimism. Among these is tight end Casey Cramer, who hauled in 525 yards and six touchdowns and developed into one of the better tight ends in the league.

In its final match of the year, Dartmouth dropped yet another game, this time to Princeton, 35-14.

The Big Green will lose ten starters off of this year’s squad keyed by Michael Gratch, the third leading rusher in the League with 921 yards.

Yale will lose many of its key performers to graduation. Receiver Billy Browne, as well as quarterbacks Peter Lee and T. J. Hyland will all move on after this season.
