First league title for men's tennis

By Angelos Dassios | May 28, 1993

In the 87-year history of the Eastern Intercollegiate Tennis Association, Dartmouth's men's tennis team never won an EITA title. This year looked as if it would be a repeat of years past, with opponents such as the seemingly unstoppable Harvard Crimson, as well as Yale and Princeton. But with a strong team which included two freshmen, the Big Green made history winning its first ever EITA championship. After a fairly long layoff in the winter, the team headed to California for spring break to warm up for the coming season.

Big Green's baseball final record improves over last year

By Brad Parks | May 18, 1993

It's amazing how timing can warp perspective in sports. If the baseball team had only ended the season the way it started it and not the other way around, everyone would talk about the team's great season and how the program was headed on the up-swing and will contend for the Ivy League Title next year. Instead, it was the second half of the season that featured a nine-of-11 losing streak and the first half that saw the team jump out to a promising 10-6 start that filled Big Green baseball fans' heads with delusions of pennants. Make no mistake, the 1993 team was a much improved baseball team from its 1992 season.

Ultimate frisbee hosts tournament

By Brad Parks | May 17, 1993

As he walked off Sachem Field with a shirt that looked like the "before" picture in a detergent commercial and clumps of grass and mud clinging to his legs, ultimate frisbee team member Jordan Stern '94 bent down to pick up a rusty length of pipe and a weather-worn, heavily chipped piano leg. "We take them with us wherever we go.

Heps preview

By Brad Parks | May 6, 1993

In the outdoor track season, there are the Heptagonal Championships and nothing else. That weekend has arrived for the men and women's track teams as they prepare to head off to Brown for the Heps. "This is the meet that is really the measure of our success," Coach Carl Wallin said. The Heps are the first - and only - scoring meet for both teams this season and include all eight Ivy League teams along with Army and Navy. While Navy, the indoor winner, is the favorite, both Dartmouth teams will probably finish within the top half of the competition. The strength for both teams, as always, is in the middle and long distance events and the throwing events. Jon Fidelak '93, Mike Hughes '93, Dennis Webster '93 and Aaron Culliney '96 combined to win the 4x800-meter relay at Heps this winter.

Women's tennis ends season

By Brad Parks | May 3, 1993

When the women's tennis team looks back on the 1993 season, there will be no mistaking that it added its own unique chapter to the history of the program. But it's the history yet to come that makes the Big Green's second-place finish in the Ivy League and 5-2 league record not only a proud piece of the team's heritage but also a tantalizing morsel of what is to come for the team. Next year's squad will lose only one member to graduation and adds four regionally and nationally-ranked recruits to a talented line-up. "If they develop the way that I think they will, we're going to have depth like you've never seen," Coach Chris Kerr said. Still, no one is thinking it is going to be easy to replace Ali Boss '93, the team's captain and first singles players.
