Men's hoops split, finish fourth in league

By Scott Thompson | March 7, 1994

Respectability? Check. Potential? Check. Momentum? Check. A two-game Ivy League road sweep? Check back next year. Dartmouth's men's basketball team rebounded from a 63-55 Friday loss to Yale University to defeat Brown University 73-62 Saturday.

Women's hoops shoot for title

By Camille Powell | March 4, 1994

This is it. The women's basketball team's entire season boils down to these three games. The Big Green square off against Ivy League foes Yale University, Brown University and Harvard University over the next five days, and how well they fare will determine just how long their season will last. Heading into this final weekend of league play, Dartmouth is in second place with an 8-3 record in the Ivy Leagues, one game behind two-time defending Ivy champ Brown (9-2) and one game ahead of Yale (7-4). Harvard is out of the title hunt with a 4-7 record. If the Big Green can win these last three games, they will grab at least a share of the Ivy title.

Women's basketball drops to second place

By Camille Powell | March 1, 1994

For the women's basketball team, everything that could have gone wrong during this weekend's road trip did go wrong. First, icy weather pushed Friday night's game at Cornell University to Sunday night, disrupting the Big Green's travel plans. The switch also meant that "we had to play the tougher team on the second night [of the road trip] rather than the first," Coach Chris Wielgus said. Then, to top it all off, half of the team got sick between games. When the problem-filled trip was finally over, the team was left with a two-game split, beating Columbia University 67-55 on Saturday, and falling to Cornell 71-62 on Sunday. "This entire trip was disruptive," Wielgus said.

Men's hockey eliminated from playoff contention

By Colin Grey | March 1, 1994

Losses don't come much more heartbreaking than the one fate dealt out to the Big Green men's hockey team on Saturday night against Clarkson University. Maybe fate - or maybe it was referees Jim Cerbo and Tom DiFueco. With less than four minutes to go, the duo gave out a pair of penalties to Trevor Dodman '95 for elbowing and to captain Mike Loga '94 just 31 seconds later for cross-checking. The penalties came as the team was doing an admirable job of pressing for a tying goal, peppering the Clarkson net with bids. Clarkson had scored twice in the first period but were barely holding off the Big Green's relentless assault on goalie Jason Currie. You don't get much closer than Dion Del Monte's '95 shot at 15:49 of the third period, which Clarkson goalie Jason Currie somehow managed to deflect over the crossbar. Then there was Matt Collins '94, who tried to tuck the puck in the bottom corner after skating around the back of the net. In fact, until the referees blew the whistle on the Big Green, the stone wall Currie had erected in front of the Clarkson net was all that kept the opposition in the game. "We had our back to the wall, and I thought our kids came out and gave a tremendous effort," Coach Roger Demment said.

Men's hockey splits

By Colin Grey | February 21, 1994

This weekend Big Green hockey players reached deep down into their collective pockets and pulled out one word: character. The battered team showed character by rebounding from a heartbreaking 5-4 overtime loss to Harvard University Friday evening to defeat Brown University by the same margin Saturday. The team showed character by doing something which it has not been able to do all season: prove it can play 60 solid minutes of hockey two nights in a row. "I was really proud of how we played," said Dion Del Monte '95, who had his best weekend of the year.

Men's volleyball nets first victory

By Mike Mathis | February 18, 1994

Things are looking up for the men's volleyball team. The Big Green picked up their first win at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Tuesday and played their most exciting game of the season against Harvard University Friday in front of an enthusiastic home crowd. Jeremy Longinotti '96 was instrumental in the come-from-behind 3-0 victory over MIT. "He helped spark the team with some key hits late in the game," Co-captain Doug Scott '94 said. Other young players have pitched in impressive performances to the Big Green effort. "Rick Fasani '96 has been the most consistent player for the whole season," Co-captain Alex Szidon '94 said.
