Record-setting season ends for women's soccer

By Camille Powell | November 15, 1993

AMHERST, Mass., Nov. 13 -- About the only thing that hadn't changed was the uniforms. To be sure, the women's soccer team was still sporting the same green and white jerseys it wore in its second game of the season against the nationally-ranked University of Connecticut as it did against the Huskies in the Northeast Regional semifinals of the NCAA Tournament. But this was a very different team than the fledgling squad that was still trying to learn each other's names as it lost to Connecticut in a wrenching, 2-1 overtime thriller in the first week of the 1993 season. Since then, the team evolved into an experienced, tightly-knit group that marched through the competitive Ivy League unscored-upon to become the first Ancient Eight squad to qualify for the NCAA Tournament since Brown in 1986. But, as much as things had changed, the result was still the same -- the Huskies handed Dartmouth an equally heart-breaking 3-1 loss to put an end to the most successful season in program history. Connecticut struck just six minutes into the game, when a cross from Tammy Barnes sailed over the head of on-rushing goalie Michelle Conroy '95 and to the feet of All-American midfielder, Karen Ferguson, who banged the ball into the open net. But the Big Green didn't hang their heads after the early goal.

Crews race with success

By Richard Petty | November 11, 1993

Despite being split between the Yale Invitational and the Princeton Chase this past weekend, Dartmouth crews were bound by a common strand -- success. The Big Green varsity men's lightweight eight, which raced at Princeton, finished fourth in 13 minutes, 53.4 seconds.

Penn football, Big Green women's soccer are weekend focus; Dartmouth must wait for Quaker loss to fulfill hopes for fourth consecutive Ivy League title

By Scott Anthony | November 10, 1993

Stop me if you've heard this one before. The Dartmouth football team entered the fourth quarter trailing (stop!) Columbia by four points before turning on the turbo boosters and blowing past the unusually roaring Lions. Jay and the Miracles have now gone to the fourth quarter with a lead just twice -- against Yale and Bucknell -- but are still riding a four-game winning streak to stretch their record to 5-3 overall, 4-1 in the Ivy League. What a fun, freaky team.

Men's tennis finishes fall season at Rolex Invitational

By Amy Hatch | November 10, 1993

Despite a slow start at the beginning of the season, the Big Green men's tennis team ended with a strong performance last weekend at the Rolex Tournament in Princeton, N.J. "As a team we struggled for a lot of the fall, but at Rolex the guys in the main draw really played well," Captain Dan Coakley '94 said. Entering the tournament seeded third, Coakley was especially pleased with his second place finish, which qualified him for the National Indoors, which will be held Feb, 3-6 in Dallas, Texas. Jim Rich '96 and Holden Spaht '96 also competed at the Rolex and performed well, making it to the round of 16 players, according to Coach Chuck Kinyon. "Overall we had a great weekend," Kinyon said.

Football wrap-up

By Scott Anthony | November 9, 1993

While Dartmouth was pummeling Columbia in New York, its hopes for a fourth consecutive title may have ended about 70 miles south on Franklin Field. After Dartmouth's season-opening 10-6 loss to the University of Pennsylvania, the Big Green knew they would need someone to knock off the Quakers to have a chance to even tie for the title. And if there was any team that was going to do it, it would be the Princeton Tigers. Coming into Saturday's Penn Homecoming game in Philadelphia, both Penn and Princeton sported identical 7-0 overall and 4-0 Ivy League records. But Princeton completely dominated the Quakers, rolling up 451 total yards and coasting to a 30-14 victory over the Tigers in front of more than 35,000 fans in Philadelphia. After the game, fans who had chanted "Ivy Champs" toward the end of the game, stormed the field, ripped down the goal posts and tossed them in a nearby river. Now the Big Green must beat Brown and Princeton, and pray for either Harvard or Cornell to upset the seemingly invincible Quakers. The best bet is for a Crimson victory this weekend in Cambridge, Mass.

Women's soccer clinches Ivy Title

By Camille Powell | November 8, 1993

NEW YORK, Nov. 6 -- You could tell what kind of afternoon it was going to be from the very beginning. On the opening kickoff, Brittanny Boulanger '95 stripped the ball from a Columbia player, dribbled through an entire half of the field and won a corner kick for the Big Green. Although Dartmouth didn't score directly off Boulanger's run, it set the tone for the rest of the game. Call it total Dartmouth domination. The Big Green simply overwhelmed Columbia, out-shooting the Lions, 28-2, and defeating them, 2-0. The victory raised Dartmouth's overall record to 12-2-1.

Erratic Big Green push past Columbia; Penn victory over Princeton could hurt Dartmouth drive for fourth consecutive Ivy Title

By Brad Parks | November 8, 1993

NEW YORK, Nov. 6 -- Both Dartmouth and Columbia thoroughly dominated two quarters of today's match-up between one of the Ivy League's Prince Charmings and the foulest of the league's ugly step sisters. That Dartmouth, which came away with a 42-25 victory, happened to dominate the second and the fourth quarter better than Columbia did the first and the third did little to ease a very frog-like performance by the aptly-monikered Big Green. Despite the win, Dartmouth's title hopes suffered a severe set-back in Philadelphia.

Football at Columbia

By Brad Parks | November 5, 1993

It's fairly rare that you head to a football game hoping it turns into a 41-7 blowout. But after two weeks in which the Dartmouth football team effectively doubled the blood pressure of anyone who dared to enter the heart-pounding confines of Memorial Field, that's just what anyone who is making the trip down to New York City for the Big Green's match-up with the Columbia Lions is hoping for -- a boring, reach-for-the-No-Doz thrashing. Even the Miracle Man himself, Jay Fiedler '94, admitted at the end of last week's 39-34 come-from-17-points-down clipping of Harvard that, "We have to stop doing this to ourselves." Dartmouth (4-3 overall, 3-1 Ivy League) certainly couldn't have a more apt candidate for a trouncing.
