How about giving Dartmouth a little credit here?  How about saying that maybe
the Big Green played one of their most solid efforts of the season.
Harvard is a quicker, more skilled team than Dartmouth, but Dartmouth
neutralized their speed and frustrated the forwards by holding the blue line,
and forechecking and backchecking well.
Not to mention the fact that Dartmouth beat Harvard at their own game...the low
scoring, defensive struggle.
If you want to say Harvard played below their potential, fine; but don't ignore
that Dartmouth's fine play had a great deal to do with it.
