Brandon Lopez ’20 was named NESCAC Pitcher of the Week this week after tossing a full game against Trinity last Friday. In the matchup, Lopez struck out seven batters and allowed no earned runs.

Sevens heaven.

The women’s rugby team beat Dartmouth 39-5 on Saturday to pick up its first win of the spring season.

Tropical track.
