Ups then downs for icemen

By Scott Thompson | January 25, 1994

Friday night the Big Green staged a stirring comeback; Saturday night it came back to haunt them. The day after scoring four unanswered goals in under seven minutes to tie host and defending East Coast Athletic Conference champion Clarkson 5-5, Dartmouth (3-11-1 overall, 2-7-1 Ivy league) allowed St.

Young ski team heads for NCAA carnival

By Scott Burns | January 21, 1994

The ski team vans were not packed with juniors and seniors last night, but confidence and optimism were in good supply as the ski team headed north to Sugarloaf, Maine for its first NCAA carnival race of the year. Although the team lost a number of veteran skiers this year, preseason results place Dartmouth among the best in the nation. Alpine skier Jean-Pierre Daigneault '97 gave the best collegiate and non-collegiate skiers in the East a glimpse of the future, skiing to four victories in individual competition already this winter.

Soccer coach resigns

By Brad Parks | January 20, 1994

Bobby Clark, the men's soccer coach for the last nine years who established the Big Green as one of the nation's premier soccer programs, is leaving Dartmouth to coach New Zealand's national soccer team. Clark met with team members Tuesday night to inform them of his decision and made his resignation public yesterday in a letter to supporters of the College's soccer program. "This was a move that came quickly and unexpectedly for the Clark family," the letter said. Clark wrote in the letter that he had not been seeking the position but felt it was too rare an opportunity to pass up. Assistant Athletic Director Josie Harper said a search committee will be formed as soon as possible, probably within the next week, to find a replacement.

Frame of a point guard, mind of a center

By Brad Parks | January 19, 1994

There are times during a game when Gregg Frame '94 looks like he might charge if someone were to wave a piece of red cloth in front of him. It's generally just after he's sent an opposing point guard, or anyone foolish enough to get in his way as he bangs in towards the basket, sprawling to the floor. It's at these times when you notice Frame's chin, which looks like it was carved straight from the granite of New Hampshire, or one of his knees, which somehow always seems to have a trickle of blood oozing down it, or his shoulders, which have NFL linebacker written all over them. A goatee - that scruffy patch of hair that comes and goes as his razor dulls - completes the neo-Neanderthal look for the 6-foot-3, 210 pound... point guard? No, the point guard part just doesn't fit.

By Camille Powell | January 19, 1994

With 10 minutes left in the second half of last night's women's basketball game against Rhode Island, Betsy Gilmore '94 fired a routine pass to Brandi Jones '95 on the wing.

Squash teams split

By Jay Neukom | January 18, 1994

In a match that will hopefully be a sign of good things to come for its new coaching staff, the women's squash team broke a three-all tie with a trio of clutch wins to triumph over Williams College, 6-3, on Thursday night at the Berry Sports Center. The men's team, which, like the women's team, was playing its first match of the new year, fell to a deep Williams squad, 7-2. The women's win marked the first Big Green victory of the regular season for new head coach Chris Schutz Brownell '87, a former All-American squash player for Dartmouth.

Men's swim team shaping up

By Juan Alban | January 18, 1994

In its past two meets, the men's swim team showed encouraging signs of improvement with a pair of strong performances against the University of Massachusetts and the University of Pennsylvania. Penn blasted Dartmouth 146-84 in Philadelphia on Saturday, while UMass escaped with a 156-138 win last Wednesday in Karl Michaels Pool. The team had a brave performance against a very strong Penn team with some outstanding individual performances. A win for the 200-meter medley relay team of Pete Moore '94, Ben Lannon '96, Jason Stern '94 and Matt Carlson '94 gave the Big Green a strong start.

Harvard too quick for men's basketball

By Brad Parks | January 17, 1994

In a season where every single night turns into "just one of those games" for the 1-12 Big Green men's basketball team, Harvard certainly did its best not to break any trends in a 79-69 slapping of Dartmouth on Saturday night in Leede Arena. On defense, Harvard was quicker at every position, from center to water boy, as the Crimson picked Dartmouth for 20 steals and forced a homely 26 turnovers. On offense, the Crimson's brick-heaving point guard, Tarik Campbell, who averages six points a game on 31 percent shooting, drilled half his shots to score 16 while Michael Gilmore, a sixth man who averages a sleepy 10 points a game, scored a career-high 21 points. From the foul stripe, Harvard, which normally converts a grandmotherly 63 percent of its free throws, found a way to score 34 points from the line of largess. And the end result was that Harvard, a squad that came into the contest with a seven-game losing streak, grabbed its first win in nearly a month. Dartmouth, meanwhile, fattened its losing streak to double digits.

Men's hockey drops two

By Amy Hatch | January 17, 1994

The men's hockey team entered the weekend expecting tough competition from Harvard and Brown, the Eastern College Athletic Conference's top two teams. A tough weekend is exactly what the Big Green got. Harvard squeaked by Dartmouth 2-1 Saturday in Cambridge, while Brown escaped with a 4-3 win over the Big Green Friday night in Providence. "It was nice to be close with two of the better teams in the league, because no one ever expected us to win this weekend," goalie Mike Bracco '94 said.

Womens basketball shoots for sixth straight victory Saturday

By Camille Powell | January 14, 1994

Tomorrows game means a lot for the womens basketball team. The Big Green look to break the .500 mark for the first time this season and put their untarnished Ivy League record - and their five-game winning streak - on the line. Coach Chris Wielgus goes for her 150th career win. And, oh yeah, they play Harvard. "Whenever you play Harvard, its special," Wielgus said. The Crimson have been a difficult team to figure out this season.

UVM shaves men's hoops, 87-82

By Brad Parks | January 12, 1994

For a few brief, tantalizing moments in last night's 87-82 loss to the University of Vermont, the men's basketball team showed the world on the floor of Leede Arena a few glimpses of the future. Sea Lonergan '97 scored 20 and was perfect in three tries from three-point land.

Women's basketball wins fifth straight

By Camille Powell | January 12, 1994

Monday night's 76-69 win over Boston University looked like deja vu all over again for the Big Green women's basketball players, and they're beginning to like the feeling. The team's fifth straight win was another come-from-behind blindsiding of a team that didn't know what hit it until the final buzzer sounded. Dartmouth scored the game's final 11 points to erase a four-point deficit with the help of eight points from Ilsa Webeck '94, who finished with 20 points and 11 rebounds for her third consecutive double-double. But the real catalyst in the game was, once again, a dynamic freshmen class that has ridden a wave of confidence all the way to installing Dartmouth as the Ivy League's hottest team. The wave began back in November when Jen Pariseau hit a three-pointer the first three times she touched the ball against Vermont.
