Caruso has given up one run in four Ivy wins, including shutouts of Cornell and Columbia last week. She has pitched the second game of each of Dartmouth's four doubleheaders to learn from Quattrocchi's mistakes before taking the mound herself.

Junior infielder Kristin King-the two-sport All-Ivy athlete who has been the Big Green's leading hitter from the past two seasons-is also off to slow start. Simply put, Dartmouth is winning already and still has plenty of room for improvement.

Lion Pride

Despite being only a second-year program and a first-time Ivy competitor, Columbia (14-18, 3-7) pulled out victories last weekend against Harvard and Dartmouth-the league's top two teams from year ago. Adding to the unprecedented accomplishment is that the game-winning RBI in each game came off of a former Ivy Pitcher of the Year.

Coach Christine Vogt '94 is bringing the Columbia team along quickly. Having already earned three wins in their first Ivy season, the Lions have far surpassed the debut performances of Dartmouth and Cornell, who were both winless in their first Ivy seasons in the mid 90's.

Since Columbia has always ranked dead last in the Ivies in sponsorship of women's athletics, the Lions' performance this past weekend already makes them one of the most successful women's teams in school history. The Columbia women's soccer team needed 15 seasons to beat Harvard, and the Columbia women's basketball team needed 20 years. The Columbia softball team did it in just one try.

The Lion field hockey and lacrosse teams have never beaten Harvard in their short histories. The field hockey team did, however, win an ECAC championship en route to a school record 13 wins on the season and the ECAC championship last fall. Such success has not been found by the lacrosse team, which is winless in 27 league games in its first four seasons of Ivy play.
