Four teams are tied for first place. Four teams. This past week did not separate many teams from contention and the Ivy League is heating up. Let's start by looking at what happened in the last week, starting with the games.
October 15:
Maryland 8 at Princeton 1
October 18:
Yale 2 at Dartmouth 4
Brown 0 at Princeton 4
Cornell 1 at Harvard 2
Columbia 4 at Penn 3 (overtime)
October 19:
Longwood 0 at Penn 5
Columbia 2 at Delaware 1
Yale 3 at Connecticut 8
New Hampshire 1 at Harvard 0 (overtime)
Dartmouth 0 at Mass-Lowell 1
League Standings:
1) Columbia 10-4 (3-1)
Cornell 8-4 (3-1)
Dartmouth 5-8 (3-1)
Princeton 4-9 (3-1)
5) Harvard 8-5 (2-2)
6) Brown 8-4 (1-3)
Penn 5-7 (1-3)
8) Yale 2-11 (0-4)
Game of the Week: The honor this weeks goes to Columbia and Penn for their 4-3 overtime thriller. Something about sudden death makes games more exciting. Congrats to both teams!
Team of the Week: Columbia wins for team of the week. The squad went 2-0 over the weekend with a win over Penn to move into a four way tie for first place in the league.
Upcoming Game to Watch: Dartmouth at Columbia, Sunday at noon eastern. Columbia has been on a tear recently and is looking to break the deadlock at the top. Dartmouth on the other hand had been down until conference play started, where their NCAA hopes and dreams now lie. Both teams are coming into this match strong and it should be a great one.
General Notes:
-Last week's Cornell-Harvard game of the week definitely did not let us down. With the win, Cornell is tied for first in the league.
-With three match weeks to go, the conference still has plenty of contenders. This upcoming weekend should be incredibly exciting to see who truly can do it.
-Don't rule out Harvard this season. Going at Princeton and at Dartmouth will be a tough task, but if the Crimson play at the level they have shown in earlier matches, they could pull it off.
Thanks for reading and enjoy the games!

Player of the Week: The honor this week went to Junior Christina Freibott of Columbia. She recorded a goal and four assists during the last week, which made her worthy of the award. This is the first time that she has won it. Congratulations Christina!
Game of the Week: A lot of good games were played, but the honor goes to Dartmouth and Holy Cross. Their 5-4 two overtime game was thrilling and high scoring, so it wins for game of the week.
Team of the Week: Brown was the team of the week. They went 2-1 on the week with wins over Providence and Lehigh and a loss to Quinnipiac.
The teams return to Ivy League action this next weekend and the race for the championship is heating up. Cornell currently leads with three wins and no losses, but Columbia, Dartmouth, and Princeton are sitting close behind with only one loss. The biggest upcoming game to watch in the next week is Saturday when Cornell travels to Harvard. Cornell is 3-0 in Ivy play, but Harvard is 7-4 overall and has faced tough opponents. Harvard on the road is a touch matchup for Cornell, and that makes this the game to watch this upcoming weekend.

Other notes:
-Princeton may have went 0-2 this week, but they put up a fight against nationally ranked syracuse. The orange prevailed in dramatic fashion in the second overtime.
-League leading Cornell has only given up one goal in Ivy play so far. Their hot defense has been a huge factor in their 8-2 start to the season.
-Dartmouth may have started the season in rocky fashion, but their offense has been a catalyst in their recent Ivy successes, scoring 11 goals in league play.
That does it for this week, come back next week to see how these teams do.

Ivy League Roundup (9/27/14 edition)
This weekend was big for Ivy League teams that are busy in conference play. All eight schools in action and we got a taste for how they matchup. Let's take a look at what happened.
Harvard 1 @ Penn 4
Brown 1 @ Dartmouth 6
Princeton 4 @ Yale 1
Cornell 2 @ Columbia 1 (OT)
Cornell is still the top team in the league with a conference record of 2-0 and an overall record of 6-1. After two games, only Cornell and Princeton are undefeated in league play.
Dartmouth may only have one win on the season, but it's an impressive win. 6-1 over Brown at home this weekend is definitely a good result for the team who is looking to turn things around. Can they make a run during conference play?
The current league standings are:
1) Cornell 6-1 (2-0)
2) Princeton 3-4 (2-0)
3) Harvard 5-2 (1-1)
4) Columbia 4-3 (1-1)
5) Penn 4-3 (1-1)
6)) Dartmouth 1-5 (1-1)
7) Brown 4-2 (0-2)
8) Yale 1-6 (0-2)
The next conference game is coming on October 3rd when Princeton visits Columbia.
