Dartmouth Varsity Athletics Top Moments of 2014: Day 4

This is part four of DartmouthSports.com's five-part series highlighting 20 of the best moments from varsity student-athletes during the 2014 calendar year. These games, plays and events were selected by a group of individuals within the athletics department.

Due to the number of Dartmouth varsity programs, it was determined that a team may have no more than one highlight. While not every team is represented within this list, there was an effort made to include as many of the 34 varsity programs as possible.

This is not a countdown and there is no order to the events as they appear in this series. Its purpose is to highlight some of the tremendous accomplishments of Big Green student-athletes and teams during 2014.

Baseball Defeats Yale in One-Game Playoff to Win Red Rolfe Division – Nov. 15

The home team's bullpen surrendered just two runs over 7.1 innings, led by then-sophomore Duncan Robinson's 5.1 innings of work in which he shut down the Bulldogs' lineup and picked up his Ivy-leading seventh win.

Equestrian Wins 2014 Ivy Show – April 20

The Green and White bested the host Big Red by six points in Ithaca thanks in large part to four individual wins from Lindsay Seewald (Intermediate Flat), Maya Johnson (Novice Fences), Catherine Conway (Novice Flats) and Justin Maffett (Walk-Trot).

Men's Tennis Defeats Four Teams Ranked in Top-65 Nationally – Spring

February saw Dartmouth hand No. 65 Cornell a 4-1 loss in the ECAC Indoor Championship at the Boss Tennis Center, while a Mar. 2 match in Bloomington, Indiana, ended with a 4-1 victory against the Hoosiers.
