Both teams rallied from second place deficits forged in early season play to come back and take their divisions in one-game playoffs against surprise Division competitors, Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania. This sets up a rematch of last year’s series, which the Lions won.

The beginning of May presents two milestones for the Dartmouth sailing team: one month until the ICSA championship and the thawing of Lake Mascoma. Over the next weeks, the team will have plenty of opportunities to fine-tune technique and break in a brand new fleet of boats as the women prepare to defend their national championship and the coed team looks to improve on last year’s third-place finish.

The mile loop around Occom Pond is delightful when you want a quick break from the bustling metropolis that is Dartmouth College. What could be more soothing than pine trees, fresh air, picturesque New England homes and murky water? A stroll around Occom may seem like the perfect way to get some alone time, but you're guaranteed to run into all sorts of people. I myself have encountered quite the motley crew during my various excursions to this scenic spot.

When Dartmouth’s Steve Mangan ’14 crossed the finish line in the mile race at the indoor Ivy League Heptagonal Championships in Hanover in March, he shattered the Ivy record by nearly three seconds. The previous record-holder — Courtney Jaworski of the University of Pennsylvania — had run his best in 2006 but will soon return to Hanover in a different context, as the head coach of Dartmouth’s women’s cross country team and an assistant coach on the track and field teams.

What’s up guys? Fish and Hank here. First things first, we have a few administrative details to discuss. You may have noticed our blog is now titled “Riding the Pine” instead of “Writing the Pine.” This is no mistake. Due to the fact that not a single one of our so-called friends understood or liked our title we decided to go with a more conservative approach.

Some students may have been startled on Saturday as they came across a number of seemingly injured and unconscious people surrounded by first responders, splashed with fake blood and bearing fictional injuries. The incident they witnessed was a simulated mass casualty drill designed to test and improve response to similar incidents, the signature event of the fifth annual Northern New England Collegiate EMS Conference.

Usually the end of March Madness brings with it nothing but a longing for more high intensity sports action that is only somewhat whetted by the start of spring baseball. This year things are different. This year Letterman retired. This year we, Hank and Fish, will rise like a phoenix (Jobin) from the ashes of The Dartmouth Sports section. We are bringing you raw, uncut, generally bad and poorly thought-out arguments on sports topics interesting to very few (perhaps only us, perhaps not even us). Welcome to Writing the Pine with Hank and Fish.

In a first in College history, the Big Green men and women’s club fencing team won the U.S. Association of Collegiate Fencing Club’s national championship in Knoxville, Tenn., last weekend. Buoyed by strong performances across the board — including a first place finish in women’s foil and a second place finish in men’s epee — the Big Green fencers now answer to a new title: national champions.

Since the National Labor Relations Board’s decision that Northwestern University’s football players are employees of the college and have the right to form a labor union, advocacy for collegiate student athletes has gained momentum. Many demands that are central to this movement appear to have little relevance to the scholarship-free Ivy League: compensation for players, scholarships that cover the full cost of tuition, funding for continued education and guaranteed retention of scholarships for athletes whose careers are ended due to injury. After all, treatment of student-athletes is on the national agenda largely because of the revenue-generating capacities of certain sports; the thinking has been that institutions gaining millions of dollars in lucrative television deals are obligated to the students whose performance enables such revenue.
