Baseball swept and eliminated
The baseball team knew there was a slim chance of remaining in the Red Rolfe Division race after this past weekend. But by Saturday night, it had played itself out of contention. Needing to win at least three of the weekend’s four games against the Bears (19-24, 9-11 Ivy) to stay within reach of Dartmouth (24-14, 15-5), the Bulldogs (20-24-1, 9-10-1) were shut out...

The offense stalls, and m. lax ends a winless Ivy slate
There would be no singing of the Yale fight song for the men’s lacrosse team on Senior Day. An offensive collapse by the Bulldogs (4-9, 0-6 Ivy) turned what started out as a close Ivy League contest into a disappointing 9-5 loss to Harvard (6-7, 1-4) on Saturday afternoon at Reese Stadium.
