...ninth spot at EISA Championships this weekend. Among the fourteen other schools at Middlebury, Vt., the Crimson secured its rank for the fifth and final time this winter. Victorious Dartmouth took the trophy with 928 total points. Men’s Alpine saw positive results with the return of captain Matt Basilico and the consistent placements of sophomore Christopher Kinner.
