It's official: The Ivy League has won the
season series against the Patriot League.
The combination of Army's loss at Dartmouth and Lehigh's home loss to Columbia gives the Ancient 8 an 11-8 edge, with one game (Cornell at Colgate tonight) left.
Dartmouth came in at 4-7, but six of the losses came at the start of the season when the Big Green was without the services of Leon Pattman. Since Pattman, who had 23 points against Army, returned to the lineup, Dartmouth is now 5-1.
Army trailed the entire game, falling behind as many as 15 points in the first half before clawing to within 2 at 47-45. Dartmouth answered with a 10-0 run to put the game away.
Jarrell Brown led Army with 19 points and also grabbed 7 rebounds. Matt Bell added 17 for the Black Knights (10-5), who open league play Saturday at Colgate.
