He and the other students kept their discus- sion ocused on the principle o air implementation o the policy, he said. Under the new rule, which was announced earlier this month, PLME students who ap- ply to medical schools elsewhere would oreit the spots that are re-served or them at Brown’s medi-cal school rom the time they en-ter as undergraduates — though they would be permitted to re- apply and be considered with the rest o the applicant pool. The students have two main objections to the recent deci- sion, Gulati said, both o which they emphasized in the meeting with Gruppuso. First, some ju- niors have already shaped their academic plans around “applyingout” by taking a second semester o organic chemistry and other medical school prerequisites not required by PLME, he said. The program’s srcinal leni- ency may have also been a sell- ing point or some current stu- dents, who said they might have enrolled elsewhere i the new policy had been in place whenthey matriculated, according to Gulati. In an e-mail to The Herald, Gruppuso wrote that, in response to students’ concerns, “discus-sions are being undertaken by a number o individuals in both BioMed and University Hall, which I think is a testament to how seriously we view this is- sue.” He declined to discuss thedetails o his conversations with students until he meets withother Med School administra- tors later this week. The PLME handbook doesnot address the subject o stu- dents applying out o the program and does not include a guaran- tee that students’ spots would be reserved. But Gulati said some deans have traditionally told ap- plicants to the program that they will be able to apply elsewhere without losing their spot. He and the other students who met with Gruppuso argued that the Med School should take responsibility or what students were told. During a PLME Senate meet-ing on Sunday, students discussed the meeting with Gruppuso andstrategies or getting the policy adjusted. PLME Senate members went over the rationale that the Med School administration has provid- ed or implementing the policy, which includes the uncertainty empty spots would bring to the school’s admissions process and the possibility o losing some o the program’s brightest students to other schools. At the meeting, some PLMEs said they would start a petition and talk to President Ruth Sim-mons i Med School administra- tors do not adjust implementationo the policy ater their meetings this week. “I guess now we’ll just wait and see what they come up with,” Gulati said.

For 174 o William D’Abate El- ementary School’s 411 students, the school day doesn’t last rom just 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thanks to state unding granted to Brown’s Swearer Center or Public Service, the D’Abate school provides morning, ater-school andsummer programming through its community learning center. These programs — run by D’Abate teachers, local organizations and more than 100 Brown student volunteers — range rom the Grow Kids Garden Club on Mondays to breakdancing on Friday aternoons. Without the support o the Swear- er Center and student volunteers, “we’d probably not have program- ming right now,” said Brent Kermen, D’Abate’s principal. Though the Swearer Center has run programs at D’Abate or 10 years, it greatly epanded its role there in January ater becoming the leadagent on D’Abate’s 21st Century Community Learning Center grant rom the state.

The Swearer Center then part-nered with D’Abate to secure a new three-year grant in January. The Swearer Center was a “natu- ral partner” or D’Abate — which sits west o College Hill in Olneyville— because o its history there, said Jackie Ascrizzi, manager o the 21st Century Community Learning Cen- ter grants or the state department o education. “They already have a good work- ing relationship,” she said. On top o its new coordination and oversight responsibilities at D’Abate, the Swearer Center cre- ated a number o new programs there last semester to ll gaps in the learning center’s oerings, said Dilania Inoa ’99, a Swearer Center program manager or elementary and middle school programs. Because the learning center oered no math club or sports ac-tivities, Inoa asked Jose Loya ’10 to create and coordinate “Math in Mo- tion.” The club, now in its second semester, “incorporates mathemat- ics into learning various sports” and enrolls 32 students, Loya said. “They can show you lots o tricks,” said D’Abate ourth-grader Adrian Carrasco, a “Math in Mo-tion” participant, while his ellow club members played basketball with Brown volunteers. Despite a double turnover inleadership — Kermen took over as D’Abate’s new principal the se-mester beore the Swearer Center took over the learning center — thetransitions have gone smoothly, said Roger Nozaki MAT ’89, director o the Swearer Center and associate dean o the college or community and global engagement. “We had some concerns about continuity, generally, with our pres- ence there,” Nozaki said, but the investment o D’Abate’s aculty andadministration in the learning center has been “phenomenal.” Bn dn As the Swearer Center’s program oerings at D’Abate epanded last semester, so did the number o stu-dent volunteers and coordinators. “The Brown students have really taken this initiative and run with it,” Inoa said. Brown students run 12 separateater-school clubs at D’Abate, accord- ing to Angel Brown, the learning center’s director. Student volunteersand coordinators allow the learningcenter to provide a “much wider va-riety o programs at much less cost,” she said. The Swearer Center also put together D’Abate’s rst “ull-scale summer program,” Brown said, which oered math and reading classes every day as well as a vari- ety o academic and extracurricular activities to choose rom. The grant unded the entire operation, and 90 kids — “maximum capacity,” Brown said — participated. “We basically had to all start romscratch and design our own curricu- lums,” said Adrienne Langlois ’10,a Herald opinions columnist, whotaught music part-time at D’Abate this summer. “There were a ew hic- cups. … But I was amazed that we were able to keep this together andrun things smoothly.” Because the Swearer Center runsthe entire learning center at D’Abate, student volunteers and coordina-tors get the chance to organize a program in the contet o a “larger learning structure,” Nozaki said.“In the past, we were really ask- ing them to work at the program- matic level,” he said, adding that theopportunity to perorm community service while considering larger ur- ban educational structures “didn’t really exist in that way or Brown students beore.” ‘od Bn bbbl’ Since the Swearer Center took over the learning center at D’Abate,more student volunteers have takenthe opportunity to “step outside the Brown bubble” and interact rst- hand with Olneyville’s underserved community, Loya said. The increase in volunteers “has been phenomenal or the students”at D’Abate, said Joshua Curhan ’10, who coordinates the sports, mys-tery and adventure reading team at the learning center as well as the Swearer Classroom Program, which provides tutoring during theschool day. The learning center charges be- tween $2.50 to $10 per amily per week, Brown said. She added that around 85 percent o amilies earn below $1,600 per week, “the $2.50range,” but no amilies are on ull scholarship. “We debated a lot” about whether to charge amilies at all, Inoa said, but paying or the programs “gives themthis sense o belonging and knowingthat this is something they’re provid- ing or their children.” The learning center has im- proved school-day attendance, be- cause the students “want to be thereand they know they have clubs that day,” Brown said. And ater 5 p.m., when the clubs end, kids work on their homework in the caeteria until their parents pick them up by 5:30p.m. Even though it is too soon totrack the learning center’s eect on test scores or student grades, the clubs “absolutely” help D’Abate’ssizable bilingual student population,Kermen said. Students who stay or clubs interact with other English-speaking kids ater school, rather than only speak English within “that 9-to-3, ve-days-a-week situation,” he said. Swearer Center programs are also vital in making the school a com-munity center in Olneyville, Kermen said. Even ater the learning center closes, the school stays open — stu- dent volunteers teach English as a Second Language classes or com-munity members in the evenings. Plnnn d The learning center’s unding rom the state will remain steady until the grant runs out in 2012. Until then, the Swearer Center will ocus on improving existing programsrather than expanding oerings, Nozaki said. In line with the requirementso the grant, the Swearer Center is putting together an advisory board o Brown coordinators andD’Abate administrators, teachers, sta and parents. The group will meet monthly to share ideas and concerns, Inoa said. “We’re really just trying to make sure that every constituency is in- cluded,” she added. The state’s education department — which receives ederal unds or these grants — is “pretty responsive”in allowing the Swearer Center to al- locate unds to best meet D’Abate’sneeds, Nozaki said. Though the grant covered buses to and rom the learning center in past years, the learning center chose not to oer transportation, which Brown said has “in no way aectedour ater-school enrollment.”“I thought that was going to be a major, major hindrance,” Kermen said, but ater seeing how amilies ound other ways to provide trans-portation, he made no plans to use grant money or buses in uture years. “I we can get away with not having transportation available,” it will leave more money or program- ming, he said. While Swearer Center admin- istrators are unsure whether they will apply or another 21st Century Learning Community Center grant on top o this one, running D’Abate’slearning center has been a “antasticexperience so ar,” Nozaki said, add- ing that the Swearer Center plans to continue securing unding or D’Abate’s learning center. The learning center and theSwearer Center coordinators are‘incredibly infuential here in theOlneyville community,” Kermen said. “It really ties the school and the community all together.” F B D’Ab, with Porter later led him to believe theparty would not have “a similar, large,open crowd” as the party in Alumnae Hall had. Saturday’s event, hostedby the Delta Sigma Theta sorority, was open to students rom all Rhode Island colleges and non-students who notied the sorority ahead o time. Esserman said PPD would dis-cuss uture parties with DPS and consider each one “case by case” todecide appropriate action. “We have a very long working relationship with Brown University,” Esserman said. “We were all very concerned.” During the event, DPS ocers also used pepper spray to break upa ght, according to Vice President or Campus Lie and Student Ser- vices Margaret Klawunn, who sent a campus-wide e-mail Monday night about the incident. Both the incident involving the gun and DPS’s use o pepper spray are being reviewed internally by Porter and DPS, she said. Klawunn said she estimates DPSuses pepper spray about once a year in similar situations. “There are a lot o things we’re reviewing about the event in termso what happened on our campus,”Klawunn said. She said she did not see the inci-dent “as an argument against arming Brown police,” adding that “most o our events go very successully and without incident.” Klawunn said University ocials are also reviewing the organization and management o Saturday’s event to decide what measures should be taken in the uture to prevent similar incidents. The review will include anexamination o all the event manage- ment details, such as requirements or entrance, the number o event sta present, the positions o security personnel and how uture events are promoted, she said.Because the organization o Sat- urday’s event is still under review,Klawunn said she could not com- ment on whether the sorority would ace sanctions rom the University. Administrators are going over detailso the event with the sorority, she said, adding that the sorority’s leadershiphas been “very cooperative.”DPS is conducting its own evalu- ation o the incident, including the details o police response, said VicePresident or Public Aairs and Uni- versity Relations Marisa Quinn.“The Department o Public Sae- ty is a ully accredited and licensed orce,” she said. “It is held to the high- est orm o accountability.” Quinn added that it was important to wait to assess the incident until ater Porter and DPS had completedtheir investigation.“It would be premature to deter- mine what the outcome o the review will reveal,” she said. “We certainly have ull aith in how the ocers handle themselves.” Evangeline McDonald ’13, whoattended Saturday’s party, told The Herald the next day that she had seen two ghts erupt among attendees, noting that at one point “there was a kind o powder in the air and every-body started coughing.” McDonald also said she “saw blood on a kid’s shirt.” “It had several blood splashes — you could see handprints on the shirt,” she said.

Katz addressed the eect o the economic climate during a lecture about what justice has meant or uni- versities historically.In weathering the downturn, uni- versities “will solve the money prob- lem,” but the larger battle “is what we will give up in the process,” he said. Katz, a proessor at Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School o Public and International Aairs, attempted to elucidate the social mission o universities. Drawing on the ideas o other thinkers who have examined social justice in higher education,Katz dened two major notions o justice — procedural and substantive— and spoke to their importance in a university’s administration. Katz explained that a university “at the very least ... must be a just cor-poration.” Non-discriminatory hiringpractices, accessible campuses or thedisabled, ethical research procedures and harrasment-ree work environ-ments are the “minimal threshold” o procedural justice that schoolsmust practice, he said. Katz used the examples o the anti-sweatshopmovement o the 1990s ostered by university students across the nation and university aculty layos in re-sponse to the recession to illustratehow universities must grapple with the question o justice in a procedural contet.“It’s surprising to me that the jus-tice question hasn’t been raised withrespect to layos,” he added. But procedural norms are “too narrow” because they ail to “distin- guish universities rom other social institutions,” he said. He dened the substantive notion o justice as thehigher standard to which universi- ties should hold themselves and said universities should “help achieve ... social goals” in society. “American higher education has gone too ar in the direction o ... unc-tionalism,” Katz said. Universities havebecome “transnational corporations” that emphasize a type o excellence geared toward market capitalism and measured “only by the input-output ratio,” he said. While Katz urged a “reconceivingo the university,” he recognized that even a just university cannot necessar- ily “meet society’s needs or control social problems” entirely. Moreover, the structure o the tenure systemprevents large-scale changes rom being initiated by junior aculty, Katz added, emphasizing the role o senior tenured aculty in improving the uni- versity’s social mission. Katz concluded his lecture by highlighting the importance o teach- ing students, especially undergradu-ates, to consider social justice while still giving them latitude to decide or themselves what eactly that meansor them. “I we’re going to get anywhere, weneed a aculty movement ... at least to put it on the agenda,” he said as he concluded. “I solicit the help o every- body in this room to do that.” A 40-minute question-and-answer session ollowed the 35-minute lecture. In response to a question rom Dean o the College Katherine Bergeron about the importance o student-acul- ty relationships, Katz said the aculty should redene goals and “reorient their own ambitions and values.” To answer a question about the importance o access to higher educa-tion, Katz explained the responsibility o private universities to make edu-cation as aordable as possible or students who meet the criteria or admission. Public universities must not only make education accessible, he said, but also oster success or as many students as possible. Students in the audience had a mixed response to Katz’s lecture. Lyndsey Barnes ’11 said she “wasreally neutral” at the end o the lec- ture but that the question-and-answer period brought more depth to the presentation. Winnie Fung GS, a master’s can- didate in urban education policy, said that while Katz provided a “good re-minder o the purpose o aculty and how they should be guiding what undergraduates learn,” she would have liked “to hear more about what he would suggest the public universi- ties can do.” Julie Pittman ’12 said the talk “was much more aimed at aculty and ad- ministration” as opposed to students, who were oten “let out o (the) dis-cussion.” The lecture was sponsored by the Swearer Center or Public Service and the Harriet W. Sheridan Center or Teaching. GIF — b ’ f b By sarah JuLiaN S taff W riter A recent re-accreditation report by the New England Association o Schools and Colleges has rankedBrown ahead o many o its ellow institutions — Brown “may be the best among its peers in scheduling classes ve ull days a week,” accord- ing to the report. Students don’t need to worry about the report’s nal verdict — Brown was re-accredited with fying colors. But they can worry insteadabout working up the energy to at- tend class every weekday while their peers at other institutions may be sleeping in. Although the association’s evalu- ators did not go into urther detail, Brown’s “ull ive days a week” schedule may dierentiate the Uni- versity rom its peers, according to Barmak Nassirian, associate execu- tive director o eternal relations o the American Association o Col- legiate Registrars and Admissions Ocers. “Many institutions avoid schedul- ing classes on Fridays because stu-dents and aculty like having three continuous days o,” Nassirian wrote in an e-mail to The Herald.Students might not like the idea o waking up at 9 a.m. on a Friday, but resource constraints and the exigencies o the New Curriculum may make class-ree Fridays a poor t or Brown. The system largely has to do with classroom space, said University Registrar Michael Pesta.“There’s a tendency in most uni- versities or classes to be clumped in the middle o the day in the middle o the week,” he said. “The prob- lem is we simply don’t have enough classrooms.” Assigning a room to it eachcourse’s needs is a dicult pro- cess, Pesta said — one that wouldbe nearly impossible i proessors could choose any meeting time.“I you clump your courses then you limit students’ abilities to takeall the courses that they want,” he said. “So the other benet is giving the students the opportunity to build a schedule or themselves that ts their educational plan.” As a result, the registrar requiresthat departments spread class oer- ings evenly over all available time slots. “Friday becomes a necessary component o that principle,” Pesta said. Some students at Harvard, Princ- eton, Columbia and the University o Pennsylvania, on the other hand, reported having scheduling systemsthat allow weekends to begin Thurs- day evening. “It is totally possible or you to have the bulk o your classes on Tuesday/Thursday,” wrote Emily Leitner, a student at the University o Pennsylvania, in an e-mail to The Herald. “I know people have Wednes-days o and Fridays. Your schedule is up to you — all you have to pay attention to is major or requirement guidelines.” Genevieve Irwin, a student at Princeton, said, “I don’t have Friday class and am loving it.”“I get a three-day weekend and a day to sleep in and organize all I have to do over the net two days,”she added. But, according to Nassirian, crit- ics o Monday-through-Thursday weeks say it leads to under-utilization o costly campus acilities. Some have questioned “whether the extra day o is put to particularly good use, particularly by students who allegedly simply start their weekend parties earlier,” Nassirian wrote. O course, there’s nothing to stopsome Brown students rom starting their weekends early, too. Timothy Peacock ’12 agreed, say-ing, “I’m pretty sure that (my proes- sor) in Chem 33 used to joke that Friday classes were smaller becausepeople had a higher concentration o alcohol in their system,” he said. “I have a seminar 3 to 5:30 on Fri-days,” said Alexander Luedtke ’12. “I go maybe once or twice a month.” But whether or not some students skip Friday class, two long-serving aculty members consider the sched- uling system a good one. Proessor Emeritus o Engineer-ing Barrett Hazeltine and Proessor o Computer Science Andy van Dameach said they do not see a decrease in student attendance at the end o the week. The drop o, they said, comes right beore the holidays, when students head home early. “My attitude toward dealing with students has always been, ‘This is Brown,’ which is shorthand or ‘students are in charge o their own ate,’” van Dam said. “They make their own decisions and I’m here to acilitate.”He said when he was in school, he attended classes six days a week, including Saturday mornings at 8 a.m. “I think ve days a week with classes not beore 8 a.m. — that’s pretty cushy,” he added. Julia Kim / Herald Princeton professor Stanle Katz urged uniersities to remain just whilethe struggle to weather the economic downturn. C, . By KristiNa KLara C ontributing W riter The University could help uel the developing knowledge-basedeconomy in Providence, accord- ing to Assistant Vice President o Planning, Design and Construction Michael McCormick. In a Brown University Commu- nity Council meeting Tuesday at Brown/RISD Hillel, McCormick and several other ocials unveiledthe University’s plans or expansion into the Jewelry District as part o the Institutional Master Plan, a “compliance document” through which the University lets the city know its plans or its land.In addition to the new Medical Education Building at 222 Rich- mond St., the plans or the Jewelry District include research centers,oces, residential areas, campuscenters and conerence hubs. Ac- cording to McCormick, surveystaken throughout the University community showed a demand or “a healthy miture o uses” o thearea. As planners continue to consider long- and short-term development,they are aced with the challenge o building research acilities, whichcan be tougher to plan than oce and residential spaces, McCormicksaid. “We need to be careul or the ew places that have ootprints or research.”For transportation to and rom the Jewelry District, students woulduse the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority’s UPASS program and the Brown Med/Downcity Express shuttle, a riverront walkway and possibly a uture streetcar to con- nect “meds to eds,” McCormick said. McCormick said the University envisions the Jewelry District as an area teeming with new research and bustling with businesses and caes, but added that there remainsome concerns about security, sani- tation, lighting, grati and com- mercial retail activity. Several people who attended the meeting responded to these and other issues. Nancy Fjeldheim, manager or the Department o Geological Sciences, urged that thegreenway down to the Jewelry Dis- trict be a “clearly marked path.” Joseph Bush GS suggested crat airs and armers’ markets as eventsto draw people to the area. He also said oering a prize or murals on the new buildings could prevent grati.Gillian Bell, a project manager or Computing and Inormation Ser- vices who said she has worked in the Jewelry District or our years,said, “Security is a number one pri- ority.” She added that additionalretail development in the area is necessary. Merle Krueger, associate di- rector o the Center or Language Studies, suggested including a ho- tel run by the University to bring guests to Providence or coner-ences and other events. Krueger also said dorms based in the Jew-elry District would be the “key to keeping the two parts o campus integrated.” The group Beyond the Bottle, which advocates or the University to discourage the use o plastic wa-ter bottles, also made a presentation at the council’s Tuesday meeting. Following the presentation, thecouncil passed a motion supporting the group’s campaign“to providesustainable alternatives to single- use water bottles on campus.” Themotion also urged “Dining Services proactively to provide alternativesto students, aculty and sta,” and identied as a goal the “elimination o bottled water on campus.” higher eD Sportswednesday WEDNESDAy, NOvEMBER 18, 2009 | Page 4 The Brown Dail Herald f - . k By aNDrew Braca S portS e ditor Having been shut out or past threestraight games, the women’s hock- ey team went into the third period against Rensselaer on Saturday ac- ing a 1-0 decit. Unwilling to old, the Bears battled back. Kelly Grin ’13 scored the tying goal less than our minutes into the period, and the Bears held on or the 1-1 tie. Brown played to a scoreless tiethe day beore — the team’s secondtie in three games — against Union,leaving the Capital District o New York two crucial points higher in the ECAC Hockey standings. The Bears ran their record to 1-4-3 over- all and 0-3-3 in league play behindthe goaltending o Katie Jamieson ’13, who made 67 total saves en route to being named the ECAC Goalie o the Week. “Without Katie Jamieson’s play this year, we don’t have any points,” said Head Coach Digit Murphy. “She’s just come up big in so many situations that you can’t even name them. To seamlessly come in and — with the exception o a couple games, a couple bad goals, and you have to give that to a reshman —she’s done an outstanding job.” “Without the D and the goalten- ding, Brown hockey is not Brownhockey,” she added. Bn 0, unn 0 Brown and Union (2-9-1, 0-5-1) battled to a scoreless tie in Schenectady, N.Y., Friday evening.Strong perormances by Jamieson and Union goalie Alana Marcinkokept both teams out o the net. Brown ailed to convert on nine power plays — totaling just seven shots with the advantage — thanks to an aggressive Union orecheck and the team’s still-unsettled per- sonnel groupings, Murphy said. “We had a lot o chances that just missed, you know. We just couldn’t nish,” Grin said. “It’sdenitely going to be something we’ll work on or the upcoming weekend.” Bn 1, rPi 1 The Bears did just that the ol- lowing aternoon in the 1-1 tie with RPI (4-6-4, 2-2-2) in Troy, N.Y. The Engineers took the lead 3:48 beore the rst intermission ona fuky goal. RPI’s Allysen Weidner cleared the puck in rom the blue line, but the puck hit a rough patcho ice and bounced over Jamieson’s shoulder. “It happens to every goalie, I think — unlucky bounces here and there,” Jamieson said. “Not really much I can do about it.” Murphy said that because it wasnot a quality goal, it did not discour- age the team as much.“We knew that we could skate with them, we knew that our orecheck was working, we knew that we were going to get opportu-nities i we just did things like stay out o the bo,” she said. The Bears gave the Engineers only three power plays, none com- ing ater the second period. The stage was set or Brown’scomeback. The goal 3:41 into the third pe- riod broke a scoreless streak o 282:05 or the Bears. Erica Kromm ’11 took the puck up the boards beore inding Griin near the circle. With Jenna Dancewicz ’11 screening RPI goalie Sonja van der Bliek, Grin lited a shot over the netminder’s shoulder to tie the game. “It started with momentum romall the other lines,” Grin said. “We were coming together as a team, and I was the lucky person who put it in, but I can’t really take credit or that. There were 19 other playersGorman ’12 and Austin Mandel ’12paced the rejuvenated oense witha goal apiece. “There was so much pressure leading up to the game, and we hadto throw that pressure away,” Elenz- Martin said. “This was potentially our last game together. We wantedto all work as hard as we could andleave it all out on the eld.” The Bears came out o the gate with an oensive mindset, control- ling the ball in Dartmouth’s territory or much o the rst hal. Co-captain David Walls ’11 booted a ree kick just high o the goal in the open- ing minutes, setting the tone or an oense that would pressure the Big Green’s deense relentlessly throughout the game. Elenz-Martin set up the rst goalo the day with a cross rom the right side to a cutting McNamara, whohad only one man to beat or the goal. McNamara switly moved past his deender and his shot trickled through to the goal, just to the right o rookie goaltender Sean Donovan. McNamara’s goal at the 15-minute mark gave him ve goals or the season, tied or the team high. The goal by McNamara marked the rst time the Bears have scoredrst in a game since their 1-0 victory over Cornell on Oct. 24, and Gormanollowed up the early strike with one o his own just 12 minutes later. “It was arguably the best 30 min- utes we’ve played all year,” Walls said. “It was nice to score two goals when we were playing well. The guys o the bench brought a loado energy, and it was great to be a part o such a great overall peror-mance.”Leading up to the play, Jon Oka- or ’11 was hit hard by a Dartmouthdeender and ound himsel knockedto the ground. Ater returning to his eet, he created a scoring opportu- nity that Gorman put away or the goal. Okaor split his deender up theright side and sent a cross to the ar let post, where Gorman rifed the ball to the right-hand corner o thenet or the 2-0 lead at 27:21. Ater surrendering two goals, the Big Green nally put together a string o oensive chances, which ell short thanks to several key de-ensive stops by Evan Coleman ’12, Ryan McDu ’13, Dylan Remick ’13and Walls. The Bears protected their lead, heading into the hal with a 2-0 advantage over the Big Green.“At this time o the year, in any sport, the deense has got to be suc- cessul in order to win,” said Head Coach Mike Noonan. “Our back lineand really everyone deensively was very sound and that’s where our o- ense comes rom. There’s no one goal scorer this year, and there is a huge team concept that has shinedthrough in the last two games.” Dartmouth came out with a sense o urgency in the second hal and pressured Bruno’s deense with sev-eral oensive attacks. At 55 minutes, the Big Green kept the ball in the Bears’ territory or several minutes, trying to catch the stingy Brown deense o-guard. One o the best looks o the night or the Big Green came o o a cross rom the right corner to a cutting orward that went just past his intended target in the 60th minute, and the ball trickled out o bounds or the throw-in. “A 2-0 lead at the hal is a danger- ous lead in soccer,” Noonan said.“We were a little bit slow starting in the second hal, and Dartmouth had some great chances to score. I they had scored, the game wouldhave been dierent. But I was very pleased that we were able to with- stand that pressure.” The ball shited back into Dart- mouth’s territory and the Bears hada look on goal by a Walls corner kick rom the right side o the eld. He settled the ball right at the near post, where Coleman narrowly missed a header that bounced o the post and back into play. In the 69th minute, the Big Green’s Andrew Olson received a red card that sucked the remaining lie out o the Dartmouth players, who gave up a third goal our min-utes later. Jay Hayward ’12 received a cross on the ar let side and tapped theball to Elenz-Martin, who ound a wide open Mandel cutting to the middle. Mandel placed his head onthe ball and connected on his th goal o the season, tying him with Elenz-Martin and McNamara or the team lead. “When we move the ball, we play well,” Walls said. “It shows a lot o trust in each other and we’re able to play more reely. It is rereshing to play on a team that is so comortable playing with one another.” The Big Green ailed to convert on its two shots on goal, and the Bears capitalized on their only three chances o the game. Despite the lopsided score, the Bears held a slim 12-11 shot advantage. Paul Grand- strand ’11 (9-2-5) stayed consistent or the Bears in the net, notchingtwo saves and recording his sixth shutout o the year.Harvard earned the Ivy Leaguetitle on Sunday with a 1-0 win over Penn and received the overall No.10 seed in the NCAA tournament. Dartmouth and Princeton also join the Bears in the tournament, as the Ivy League sends our teams to thetournament or the rst time since1977. “There’s still a lot o growth let inthis team,” Noonan said. “The longer we can play, the more this team willgrow and learn about each other and continue to get better.” The Ivy League announced the rst- and second-team honors or the2009 season on Tuesday, and seven Bears made the list. Elenz-Martin, Granstrand and Sean Rosa ’12 re-ceived rst team accolades, while Coleman, McNamara, Rob Medairos’12 and Walls rounded out the All-Ivy honors on the second team.
