Notes: The Hood Trophy is a friendly competition between local rivals Haverford College and Swarthmore College ... The Fords and Garnet have battled for the trophy with head to head contests in varsity sports since the 1941-42 academic year ... Haverford clinched the race early in the week with a sweep over softball, but the score now stands 11-4 with three sports left to be played before the end of the spring.
