The men’s rugby team embarked on its annual spring training tour over the break, this year heading to California to take on the University of California, California Polytechnic State University and Santa Barbara City College.
This week, I sat down with Nick Ruppert ’16 of the baseball team. Nick missed almost all of last season with a broken hand, but has returned strong and earned the starting job in center field for the Big Green. The team posted a 2-7 record during its nine-game road trip over spring break. It played tough opponents in the Midwest, facing off against the No. 27 Texas Christian University Horned Frogs, the University of Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks and the No. 18 University of Kansas Jayhawks, as of the latest College Baseball poll.
For varsity athletes, spring break means one thing: training trips. Since we are looking to beat varsity athletes, Austin and I figured we should go on training trips of our own. With teammwork taken care of, we struck out on our own paths to prepare physically, mentally and, most importantly, emotionally for the upcoming spring (which won’t likely arrive until Derby or Green Key, unless College President Phil Hanlon sold his soul for a sunny Dimensions weekend).
The baseball team challenged itself over spring interim when it traveled down south to two Big 12 diamonds in Forth Worth, Texas and Lawrence, Kan., to play Texas Christian University, the University of Nebraska-Omaha and the University of Kansas. According to Collegiate Baseball rankings, TCU and Kansas are ranked 27 and 18 in the nation, respectively.
As the crowd erupted with cheers of “Go Abbey D” and “Let’s go Dartmouth,” Abbey D’Agostino ’14 took the baton from Meggie Donovan ’15. She soon opened up a 50-meter lead before passing off to Liz Markowitz ’16 in the finals of the women’s 4x800-meter relay at the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships at Leverone Field House.
We’ve reached the end of the term, and we all know what that means: championship season. For all of us athletes (yes, the Rec League Legends qualify, even if we don’t get a PE credit), now is the time when winter season really matters. Put all of that other stuff behind you. Focus on winning the championship — at the end of the day, that’s all that matters. Right, Lebron?
The women’s basketball team recorded its second Ivy League win of the season against Columbia University and fell to Cornell University in this weekend’s matchups. The team (5-21, 2-10 Ivy) bested seventh place Columbia (6-20, 3-9 Ivy) 82-75 on Friday night before losing to fourth place Cornell (14-12, 6-6 Ivy) 63-50.
The women’s ice hockey team had its playoff season cut short after dropping the first round best-of-three series to No. 3 Clarkson University this past weekend. The Big Green (9-20-1, 8-13-1 ECAC) lost to the Golden Knights (27-4-5, 16-2-4 ECAC) 2-0 both Friday and Saturday afternoon. In each game, the offense failed to mobilize, managing only 31 shots on the weekend to 70 by the Golden Knights.
When the crowd rose to its feet in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s senior night game against Cornell University, filling Leede Arena with applause, it was not because of an and-one, a three-pointer or a powerful dunk. Tyler Melville ’14, the team’s captain and its only senior, checked out for the last time in front of loyal Hanover fans. Cheers echoed through the building as Melville slowly walked down the row of chairs to his seat, receiving hugs from each member of the coaching staff and the players on the bench.
In a dash to the playoffs, men’s hockey took on two nationally ranked teams to close out the season, taking down No. 11 Cornell 1-0 but losing to No. 16 Colgate 2-1. Consequently, Dartmouth will travel to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute as the 10th seed for the first round of the ECAC Hockey Championship Tournament.
The men’s swim and dive team concluded its team season this weekend in Cambridge, Mass., with a sixth place finish in the three-day Ivy League Championships. Last season, the Big Green finished fifth.
At 7 a.m. most mornings in the fall, varsity track and field distance runner Jill Corcoran ’15 woke up and went for a run. But instead of taking her through Pine Park or down Rip Road, her daily jaunts brought her past Big Ben and the Tower Bridge.
As the Sochi Olympics come to a close and semi-obscure events like bobsled drift back into irrelevance (though no one can forget “Cool Runnings” (1993)), we decided to break the one rule we set for the winter. That’s right, faithful readers. Those of you who follow us religiously, which is probably all of you, will recall that we solemnly swore never to Nordic ski. It’s physically taxing, cold and isolating, and we don’t look great in skin-tight apparel (just kidding).
This week, I sat down with women’s hockey forward Lindsey Allen ’16, who leads the team in goals and points, which she attributes due to a shortened bench and small group of upperclassmen. We talked about her love for the sport and what it means for the Toronto native to be a leader on the team.
Providence dealt a heavy blow to the women’s swim and dive team this weekend, as the Big Green came in eighth place in the Ivy League Championships at Brown University. The team had high hopes of improving on last year’s fifth-place performance, but the seniors were forced to hang up their fast suits and swim caps with a disappointing finish at the bottom of the scoreboard. The team scored 535 points, 874 points behind first place Harvard University.
The men’s basketball team could not find a way to get back in the win column this weekend, dropping both of its games on the road. The Big Green fell 67-57 to Princeton University on Friday night, and 74-65 to the University of Pennsylvania on Saturday night. The Big Green (9-15, 2-8 Ivy) has now lost six straight games.
Saturday night at Leede Arena, the women’s basketball team pulled off a stunning upset, taking down the League-leading University of Pennsylvania 53-50. Just a day after the Big Green (4-20, 1-9 Ivy) was blown out 87-46 by Princeton University, the team ended an eight-game losing streak with a potentially title-determining upset.
With a potential home playoff series at stake, Dartmouth played its final homestand of the season this weekend. Dartmouth (7-16-4, 6-12-2 ECAC) won 2-1 versus Brown University Friday night before sending the Class of 2014 off with a 3-3 tie in one of the season’s most exciting match-ups against No. 14 Yale University.
With two wins this weekend, Dartmouth women’s hockey clinched its fifth straight appearance at the ECAC Hockey Tournament. The Big Green (9-18-1, 8-13-1 ECAC) shut out Brown University 3-0 Friday night before traveling to Yale University and beating the Bulldogs 2-1.
As the 22nd Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia reach the midway point, Dartmouth athletes have been consistently performing well, starting as early as the opening ceremony on Feb. 7.
