TWO IN A ROW
The Big Green men's lacrosse team had a bounce back week after dropping a bad 16-2 game to Princeton with two consecutive victories, reaching double-digit goals in each contest. The first came with an 18-13 win over Vermont on Tuesday, followed by a huge 15-11 win against Penn to jump back into the Ivy Tournament race. Senior captain Ari Sussman led the way with 13 points in the two games, while junior Rhett Miller had an incredible day against Penn with five goals, two coming with the man advantage.

He is now the eighth player in Dartmouth history to reach 150 points and now has 161 in his career on 95 goals and 66 assists. If he reaches 100 goals in the next two games, he will be the seventh player to reach the milestone.

MILLER'S THRILLER
