BOSTON -- Boston College guard Jerome Robinson says he improved a bit on all parts of his game during the offseason.Its showed by his start so far.Robinson matched his season-high with 27 points to help the Eagles halt a two-game losing skid with an 88-70 non-conference victory over Dartmouth on Saturday.I felt like I got a little better at everything, the 6-foot-5 sophomore guard said. I always feel comfortable.Robinson was 10 of 16 from the floor, including 4 of 7 on 3-point attempts.Im not surprised by it, BC coach Jim Christian said. Hes a very smart basketball player. He understands different things that happen during the course of a game -- when teams try to take things away from him. He adjusts.Freshman point guard Ty Graves added 13 points for the Eagles (4-3) and Jordan Chatman had a season-high 12. BC shot 55.7 percent, connecting on 11 of 21 on 3-point attempts.Evan Boudreaux led Dartmouth (0-6) with 23 points before he was ejected with what the officials determined was a Flagrant 2 foul for whacking BCs Connar Tava in the face while he was shooting with 9:21 left.We know they really execute their stuff, Dartmouth coach David McLaughlin said of BCs defense. We needed to be in certain spots and ended up worrying more about where they were.Robinson sandwiched a pair of 3-pointers around an alley-oop basket when he scored all eight of BCs points to push the Eagles lead to 52-41 early in the second half.The Eagles broke it open with a 13-0 run -- with Boudreauxs foul in the middle of it -- to make it 78-56 with just under eight minutes to play.BC led 40-33 at halftime.BIG PICTUREDartmouth: The Big Green are off to their worst start since opening 2006-07 with six losses.

He was also able to use a quick dribble and first step to elude defenders and spot up for a handful of mid-range jumpers.Our team moved the ball so well a lot times, Christian said. Hes such a good player that a lot of times hes on the good end if it.CONTROLBC won for the 21st time in 29 meetings between the schools, with the first coming in 1905.SHARE ITBC had 23 assists on 34 baskets.UP NEXTDartmouth: At Vermont on Wednesday in the first of three consecutive games against America East opponents.Boston College: Host another Ivy team on Wednesday when Harvard comes in for the second of three straight home games.

LOUIS -- If the Chicago Cubs bought champagne at any point during this nine-game road trip, its going back to Wrigley Field with them after Wednesdays series finale with the St. Louis Cardinals in Busch Stadium.St. Louis 4-2 victory Tuesday night not only kept it a half-game behind the New York Mets for the National Leagues second wild-card spot, it kept Chicagos magic number for clinching the NL Central at three.That means the Cubs (92-52) cant celebrate a division title on the field of their biggest rivals, although theres no reason to worry about a 16-game lead with 18 games remaining.Its going to happen, center fielder Dexter Fowler said. Its just a matter of when. So we just have to keep winning games.Chicago shoots for its 93rd victory Wednesday behind left-hander Jon Lester, who has been on some roll in the last month. Lester (16-4, 2.51 ERA) fired seven shutout innings Friday night in Houston, posting a 2-0 win.It was the fifth straight game that Lester had allowed one or no runs. Lester, who faced the Cardinals last month at home and was no-decisioned after allowing two runs in six innings, is 1/3 with a 2.62 ERA in seven regular season outings against them.St. Louis counters with its top starter this year, right-hander Carlos Martinez (14-7, 3.05). Hes won his last four decisions, including a 4-3 verdict Friday night over Milwaukee in which he didnt have his best stuff, striking out only one in seven innings.Martinez gave up three runs (two earned) and nine hits, inducing two more double play balls too give him an NL-high 32 for the year.dddddddddddd Hes faced the Cubs three times this year, going 1-1.With every game meaning so much, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny didnt exactly address the subject of trying to prevent a clinching party by Chicago on Monday or Tuesday night.We havent ever gone there, he said. We just have to go and play the game, not think about anything but what we have to do.While the odds favor New York and San Francisco, both of whom have easier schedules, St. Louis is getting some key reinforcements for the final three weeks. Shortstop Aledmys Diaz returned to the starting lineup Tuesday night and promptly belted a two-run homer in his first at-bat, becoming the seventh Cardinal with 15 or more homers.At some point before the week is over, St. Louis is expected to activate right-hander Trevor Rosenthal, right-hander Michael Wacha and left fielder Matt Holliday off the 15-day disabled list. Those moves could beef up its bullpen and add depth to the outfield, depending on Hollidays readiness to play without being able to go on a rehab assignment.The Cardinals also got a breakout game from Brandon Moss, who was 1-for-41 prior to singling and homering Tuesday night. Moss two-run homer in the sixth, his 26th of the year, was the game-winning hit.You could tell he had a good rhythm going tonight with his early at-bats, Matheny said. When he gets hot, hes fun to watch. ' ' '
