May 14, 1971 — Baseball beats Boston College as Pete Broberg '72 strikes out 20
A year after playing in the College World Series, the Dartmouth baseball team put together a solid season in 1971. The Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball League slate had just finished up the previous week with the Big Green posting an 8-6 mark, good for fourth in the 10-team conference, beating every team once except for Cornell. Harvard and the Big Red squared off in a playoff game to determine the champion, a game that would have featured Dartmouth if not for a 1-0, 10-inning loss to the Crimson in a doubleheader split on May 1.
All that was left for the Big Green was to play out the final non-conference games on the schedule, the first of which was a home contest on this date against Boston College. Fireballing junior Pete Broberg '72 took the mound and proceeded to unleash the frustrations of narrowly missing out on a third straight conference crown.
Broberg, the son of Dartmouth basketball All-American Gus Broberg '41 and the top MLB draft pick in the June Secondary draft the following month, was nearly unhittable in his two seasons pitching for the Big Green. The right-hander allowed just 82 hits in his 151.1 career innings (4.9 per nine innings) while striking out 212 batters (12.6 per nine), but also had a bit of a love/hate relationship with the strike zone, walking nearly seven batters per nine innings as well.
On this day, he had the Eagle hitters flailing at his offerings as he struck out 20 batters in a four-hit, complete-game effort. He only walked four (but did hit three batters) and allowed just a solitary run on an RBI triple in the third as Dartmouth pounded BC, 14-1. He fanned 12 different hitters, including a trio that went down three times on strikes. Those 20 whiffs broke the school record of 15 he had set just six and a half weeks prior against Villanova, which broke his record of 14 five days before that at N.C. State. Broberg ended the season with 127 punchouts in 82.0 innings, setting Dartmouth standards in both total strikeouts and strikeouts per nine innings (13.94) until another future big leaguer, Mike Remlinger '88, topped both marks in 1987.
At the plate, the Big Green batters collected 13 hits — seven going for extra bases — with five banging out two apiece (two of which entered off the bench). Senior third baseman Craig Conklin '71 had a pair of doubles and drove in three, senior right fielder Tim Hannigan '71 had four RBIs with a triple, while fellow seniors Tom Hanna '71 and Russ Adams '71 both scored three times.
May 14, 2006 — Women's Lacrosse knocks off Boston University in the first round of the NCAA Tournament
A season after reaching the Final Four, the Big Green began a march back to the final weekend of play with a 9-4 win against BU in the 2006 NCAA Tournament First Round played at Scully-Fahey Field. Senior Annie Leibovitz '06 led the way with three goals against the Terriers, pushing the Green and White to the quarterfinals.
After falling behind 2-0, Dartmouth rattled off six straight goals to take a 6-2 lead into halftime and never looked back. In a physical game that featured eight yellow cards and a pair of reds, there were 56 combined ground balls and 41 shots on goal with Dartmouth leading in both categories.
Dartmouth improved to 12-5 with the win and advanced in the NCAA Tournament for the eighth time in 11 years dating back to the 1995 season.
This victory was the first of three in the postseason that eventually led to a spot in the national title game two weeks later on BU's home turf at Nickerson Field.
