Random Ivy notes 3/22

Zach Klitzman

1) Dartmouth played in the opening round of the NCAA Women's Tournament, and it wasn't pretty. No. 1 Maryland destroyed them, winning 83-52. Not helping the Big Green, the game was played at Maryland's Comcast Center. Here's a more humorous look at the game.

2) The women's basketball team participated in the "Pink Zone" campaign to raise money/awareness for breast cancer research this season. Today Penn athletics announced that the team raised over $8,000 this year from "Pink Zone" t-shirts, individual contributions and ticket sales from the game against Yale which was designated the "Pink Zone" game of the year for Penn.

3) Alex Grendi, who was a key contributor to the men's soccer team's Ivy League Championship, was signed to a developmental contract by the Columbus Crew earlier this month after being drafted in January. Well last night the Crew tied the Houston Dyanmo, and Grendi got an assist -- according to Penn Athletics.  However, ESPN didn't give him the assist. I guess the world wide leader only counts the pass immediately preceding the goal.
