Penn, Princeton set for battle; Both teams undefeated, tied for first in the Ivy League

By Brad Parks | November 2, 1993

After weeks of picking up momentum for the showdown of the year in Ivy League football, Penn and Princeton, both 7-0 overall, 4-0 Ivy League, finally set their collision course in stone this weekend. It's been 25 years since two undefeated Ivy League teams played each other this late in the season, and it looks like Saturday's rumble in Philadelphia will be worth the wait. Penn has the league's highest scoring offense.

Big Green come from behind to win again

By Brad Parks | November 1, 1993

More than 11,000 people piled into Memorial Stadium for Dartmouth's Homecoming showdown against the Harvard Crimson and by the time it was over, the vast majority of them had to scoop their jaws off the cold concrete bleachers. With the Ivy League title riding on every snap, the Big Green and their Miracle Working quarteback, Jay Fiedler '94, played with the Granite of New Hampshire in their muscles and their nerve endings. The hardest aspect of analyzing the football team's utterly ridiculous 39-34 win over Harvard on Saturday is trying to find some kind of pecking order in the amazing chain of events which carried Dartmouth from a 17-point deficit late in the third quarter to one of the greatest comebacks in program history. There was Fiedler's 28-yard completion to Shearer on fourth-and-10 with less than two minutes to play and Dartmouth down, 28-25.

Women's soccer wins; Dartmouth will at least share Ivy Title

By Camille Powell | November 1, 1993

A lone Harvard voice could occasionally be heard in the bleachers at Chase Field on Saturday. But every time he opened his mouth to root for his team, his cheer was drowned out by choruses of "Go Dartmouth!" How appropriate. Just as the Harvard cheers were drowned out by those from Dartmouth, the Harvard women's soccer team was swallowed up by the Big Green. The steady, strong Dartmouth defense thwarted every Harvard attack.

Men's soccer loses fourth Ivy contest

By Geoff Oltmans | November 1, 1993

The Big Green men's soccer team dominated Harvard on Saturday but suffered a disappointing, 1-0 defeat. In a frustrating game that appeared to be played on a field heavily slanted toward Harvard's goal, Crimson forward Joshua Martin scored the only goal of the game, his first of the season. Thirty minutes into the game, Crimson junior Craig Brill sent a low, left-footed cross through the Big Green penalty area.

Head of the Charles on tap for crew

By Jennifer Chen | October 22, 1993

Some go for the races, some go for the free apple cider and some for the thrill of being part of a crowd larger than any ever found in Hanover. Every October about 100 Dartmouth students make the two-hour trek to Cambridge, Mass.

Teams split funds in response to report

By Maggie Fritz | October 21, 1993

A self study by a committee from the Athletic Department, chaired by Associate Director of Athletics Josie Harper, investigated the issue of gender equality in Dartmouth athletics and the new regulations are affecting teams differently. The committee's report called for the Athletic Department to continue adjusting its programs to ensure equal treatment of male and female athletes. Last year the committee submitted a report examining the policies and procedures of the Athletic Department.

Big Green volleyball still winless

By Jim Tuxbury | October 21, 1993

The women's volleyball team remained winless as losses to Columbia and Cornell in Leede Arena last weekend lowered their record to 0-12 overall and 0-5 in the Ivy League. Friday, the Big Green lost to Columbia 12-15, 15-4, 15-6, 15-13, despite rallying to a 13-13 tie in the final game of the match. The following day, defending Ivy League champion Cornell brought its undefeated Ancient Eight record into Leede Arena and downed the Big Green 15-4, 14-16, 15-3, 15-8. The Cornell team proved to be too tall for Dartmouth, as it controlled the net most of the game.

Golf places fourth

By Kenneth Y. Lee | October 20, 1993

The women's golf team traveled to the Mount Holyoke Invitational this past Friday. Along the way, they played their best overall golf and placed fourth out of seven teams -- their best finish this season -- as they defeated Ivy rivals Yale and Harvard. "We had our best performance of the season on the first day," Coach Izzy Johnson said.

Ivy League football weekend wrap-up

By Brad Parks | October 19, 1993

Pennsylvania 36, Columbia 7 Quaker Quarterback Jim McGeehan completed 23 passes for 284 yards and three touchdowns as Penn stayed undefeated with a 36-7 crushing of the hapless Columbia Lions to pull into a first place tie with Princeton in the Ancient Eight race. Sophomore Miles Macik, who caught nine of those passes for 104 yards and two touchdowns, is the top receiver in Division I-AA and has already tied a school record for TD receptions in a season. Columbia signal caller Chad Andrzelewaki scrambled for 39 of the Lions 65 running yards of the day and scored his team's only touchdown against a Penn defense that is ranked eleventh nationally. Princeton 31, Lehigh 23 Princeton, the Division I-AA's 24th ranked team, pumped its overall record to 5-0 with a 31-23 win over Lehigh in a game that saw the Engineers aerial attack shred the Ivy League's top-rated defense for 400 yards of passing. Keith Elias kept his position as the Division I-AA's top rusher as he piled up 160 yards despite playing with an injured hip.
