Fifth-year senior Charles Looes had four sacks in a 23-21 Big Green football victory. On the women’s rugby pitch Cassie Depner had three tries, helping Dartmouth rack up an impressive win with their highest point total since becoming a varsity squad.

Cassie Depner doubled her career try total with a hat trick in Dartmouth’s record-breaking 115-7 road win over Princeton. Depner, one of two players with three tries in the match, helped the Big Green rack up their highest point total and second largest margin of victory since gaining varsity status in 2015. The dominant performance allowed Dartmouth to secure the No. 2 seed in the NIRA Playoffs and earn the right to host Quinnipiac in the semifinal on Saturday.
