4/15/07 Nor'easter Can't Shut Down the Ivies
The weather was the first big story today as Day 2 of the 2007 Royall Lyme Ivy League Championships at Glen Farm in Portsmouth, Rhode Island took shape. In the slickest move of the day, the Jay Fluck and the tournament committee moved up the games to start at 9am and finish the final matches by 11am hoping to beat much of the bad weather as it moved up the coast. Turns out there was plenty of time to sneak in a few well played matches before the weather went from bad to nasty.
In the men's final, it was Harvard beating out two-time defending champion Dartmouth 28-25 in overtime. The match was tied 17-17 at halftime and then tied again 25-25 at the full. The two teams played two 5 minute overtimes and in the last minute of the second overtime, Harvard was awarded a penalty which they kicked for the victory. On the Women's side, Brown blanked Yale 14-nil for the championship.
In the rest of the men's games, Columbia finally got a win after playing great all weekend defeating Cornell 5-0 for seventh. The fifth place game between the University of Pennsylvania and Brown ended in a 5-5 tie. The flip of a coin gave Brown the fifth seed for 2008 (see 2008 seedings). Princeton defeated Yale 19-7 for third.
The Cornell women snuck out of town early as Ithaca was expecting and getting dumped on with the winter white stuff. It never seems to end up there! That left Cornell ranked sixth for next year and Princeton fifth. In the third place game the Dartmouth women avenged their brother team's loss to Harvard by taking it to Radcliffe 38-0. The Upenn women defeated 31-0 Columbia for seventh place.

4/14/07 Beautiful Day 1 at the 2007 Ivies!
For a brief moment Saturday it looked like it was going to be a Dartmouth v. Harvard showdown in both the men's and the women's final of the 2007 Royall Lyme Ivy League Championships. On the men's side it will be Harvard and Dartmouth --- AGAIN --- as Dartmouth makes their third trip to the finals in as many years. For the women though, the surprise of the day has to be 5th seed Brown. Brown out talented a well coached Princeton side 14-7 to move on to a second round game where they completely annihilated last year's Ivy Champion Radcliffe (Harvard) 42-nil.
Despite the nasty forecast, it turned out to be a beautiful day for rugby at the 39th annual 2007 Royall Lyme Ivy League Championships at Glen Farm in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. This year's event is being hosted by Brown University, title sponsored by Royall Lyme: www.royallrugby.com, Rugby Imports: www.rugbyimports.com and McGrath Clambakes: www.riclambake.com.
On the women's side, second-seeded Yale made it through their draw blanking Columbia 52-0 and squeaking by Dartmouth 22-17. Cornell lost a disappointing first match 24-7 to Dartmouth before shutting down Columbia 54-0. Princeton Women went on to defeat UPenn 35-5 in their second round match.
In the men's draw, Dartmouth defeated a strong Columbia squad 16-0 then cruised past Yale 37-0 on their road to the final. Last year's runner-up Harvard crushed Cornell 50-nil [Photo above - Harvard's Chid scores v. Cornell] then played a tight match defeating Princeton 20-5. Yale and Princeton play for third tomorrow morning.
Brown lost a first round heart-breaker as a Yale defender blocked a clearing kick and an opportunistic Yale defender scooped up the ball and scored the winning try as time expired for a 21-19 victory. UPenn went on to defeat an injury decimated Cornell side 35-5 in their second round match as Brown bounced back to defeat Columbia 15-12. Brown and Columbia will battle it out for 5th; while Columbia and Cornell play for 7th place.
