At the beginning of the term, 30 members of the Dartmouth rugby football club returned to Hanover to prepare for the fall season as a part of the new eight-team New England super league. After playing three preseason games, the Big Green ruggers defeated Amherst at Sachem in the home opener. But their initial success was short lived.

Women's soccer continues to win

By Camille Powell | October 11, 1993

It's beginning to look familiar. The women's soccer team won another hard fought, down-to-the-wire battle and another freshman provided the heroics. Three weeks ago the heroine was Jenna Kurowski '97, who scored to send the game against the nationally-ranked University of Connecticut into overtime.

Football falls in final minutes

By Brad Parks | October 11, 1993

Most of the time when the University of New Hampshire and Dartmouth rumble for Granite State bragging rights, it results in a game to remember. But Saturday's contest at Memorial Field -- a 14-7 win for UNH (3-2 overall, 1-1 Yankee Conference) -- was definitely a game to forget. Aside from four missed Dartmouth field goals, there were five interceptions, three fumbles and a total of 148 yards of penalties between the two teams. Certainly, Dartmouth (1-3 overall, 0-1 Ivy League) took its fair share of the burden in the sloppy play department.

Field hockey upsets New Hampshire

By Brad Parks | October 8, 1993

One of the innate beauties of team sports is that momentum can change so quickly. A week ago, the field hockey team was squirming, trying to figure out how it could eke out so much as a single win after losing five consecutive games by a single goal. How things have changed. On Wednesday, just a few days after snapping that losing streak with a 2-0 win over Yale, the Big Green (3-5 overall, 1-1 Ivy League) won their biggest game of the season with a stunning 2-1 upset of the University of New Hampshire, the nation's 17th-ranked team. "We didn't play so differently from the way we were playing when we lost the last few games," Coach Julie Dayton said.

Men's soccer wins

By Geoff Oltmans | October 8, 1993

The men's soccer team defeated 20th-ranked UNH Wednesday night, 1-0, in a double-overtime thriller in front of 3,500 fans in Amherst, N.H. Forty-five seconds into the second overtime, George O'Brien '95 beat Wildcat goalie Steve Baccari with a header off a far-post corner kick from Co-Captain Blaine LeGere '95. "We were pounding on the door all day, but we just couldn't finish," LeGere said.

Football faces UNH

By Brad Parks | October 8, 1993

In a season when the Dartmouth football team has had a tough enough time picking on teams its own size, the University of New Hampshire represents a somewhat daunting challenge. The Wildcats are bigger, stronger, faster -- superlatives that generally confer a hefty advantage in any sports, let alone football. But no one is counting Dartmouth out of Saturday's game, which kicks off at 1:30 p.m.

Jordan goes out on top

Ivy matches begin for volleyball

By Richard Petty | October 7, 1993

After an 0-7 start, the women's volleyball team heads into official Ivy League competition this weekend in what could be its most difficult road trip of the season. The women will play Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania, two of the stronger teams in the league. Last year, the team finished 10-12 overall with a 1-8 Ivy League record that placed them seventh in the Ancient Eight for the second straight year.

Women's rugby club aims for victories

By Nicolette Van Der Lee | October 6, 1993

As the leaves change colors and fall around the green fields of Sachem, the Dartmouth women's rugby club practices their rucks, mauls, scrums, line outs, and quick passing in preparation for the fall of their New England competitors. The home game against the University of Vermont two weeks ago began the season with a roar as Nicole Carrier '94 took off after a bold series of grub kicks by Keirsten Lawton '94 for a diving try.
