Brown sophomore defender Ben Brackett (West Des Moines, Iowa) scored off his own rebound in the Bears' 2-1 loss to Dartmouth in the deciding game for the Ivy League title on Sunday. Brackett's goal, the second of his career, put the Bears back in the game as they went down 2-0 early on.
Sophomore defender Charles "Andy" Howard's (Portland, Ore.) first goal of the season was an important one, as he tallied the game-winner and the contest's only goal in Penn's 1-0 victory over Harvard. Howard sent a Josh Duyan direct kick into the back of the net just 9:13 into the game.
Sophomore forward
Mark Limpert (Elizabethtown, Pa.) got the Big Green off to a fast start against Brown with a goal just nine minutes into the match. Senior co-captain Scott Darci (Marblehead, Mass.) drew Brown goalkeeper Chris Gomez out of the net and then nudged the ball over to Limpert, who settled it and shot into a wide open left side. The goal was Limpert's team-leading sixth of the season and marked the third consecutive Ivy game in which he has tallied.
A week after scoring his first collegiate goal on a great strike
against Harvard, sophomore midfielder John Mulhern (Smithtown, N.Y.) finished his sophomore season in style with the game winning goal and an assist in the Lions 3-1 victory over Cornell. Mulhern came off the bench to score within minutes of his entrance. After Stephen Foster (Seaton Village, England) played a nice ball into Einar Bendiktsson (Kopavogur, Iceland), Mulhern slipped behind the Big Red defense, received Benediktsson's pass and buried the ball into the back of net. Just a few minutes later, Mulhern won a free kick near the
Cornell end line and sent a lofted cross to the backpost for Tom
Davison (Brandon, Fla.) to head home for Columbia's final tally.
Mulhern, who was named to the Ivy League's Honor Roll last week,
has two goals and three assists on the season.
Princeton senior forward Ryan Rich (Yorktown, Va.) scored his second goal of the season and added an assist in the 4-2 loss at Yale. Rich has nine points on the season.
