Thomas T. Barry is excited to report that he will be studying global health and development policy in Geneva, Switzerland, for the fall 2013 semester and then studying West African culture, language, and development politics in Dakar, Sénégal, for the spring 2014 semester. Dartmouth sophomore Sarah Byrne this spring became the second player in Big Green women’s lacrosse history to have consecutive games with at least four goals in the NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Tournament. The only other Dartmouth player to accomplish this feat was another LC alumna, Katieanne Christian ’01. After starting with four goals against Boston College in Dartmouth’s opening-round win, Sarah matched that output in the second round against Syracuse. In the game against Boston College, Sarah posted her career-high scoring effort and helped
carry her team to an 11-8 victory. Playing against Sarah in that game was former LC teammate Kate McCarthy ’10, who led the Eagles in ground balls and caused turnovers and was second on her team in draw controls. Kate earned second team Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association honors this season. In the second round of the tournament, when Dartmouth faced fourth-seeded Syracuse, Sarah and her teammates played another strong game, but the depth and strength of the Syracuse team proved to be too much for the Big Green, and Syracuse won the game 21-8. Three former Pelican classmates and teammates played in the Final Four of the NCAA Division I Men’s Lacrosse Championship Tournament this spring. Cal Paduda suited up for the Orangemen of Syracuse, Chris Cook played for the Big Red Bears of Cornell, and Jack Rowe was a part of the Duke Blue Devils’ national championship squad. Chris played against his former teammate Cal in the Syracuse–Cornell semifinal game. Syracuse won the semifinal, advancing the Orangemen to the national championship game against Duke, which the Blue Devils won 16–10. The Williams College women’s tennis team tied an NCAA record with its sixth national title in a row, and former Pelican Maria Pylypiv helped get the Ephs there. The Division III national championship tournament finals took place on May 22 in Kalamazoo, Mich. In the doubles matches, Maria and her partner, Kathleen Elkins, defeated Emory’s No. 2 pair 8-5, but the Ephs found themselves behind going into the singles matches. Maria again spurred on the Williams team at the No. 5 singles spot with a 6-0, 6-1 performance. Williams won the singles matches at No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 to capture the title.
