Faithful readers, this week has been trying for us and for our sleep schedules. Between the U.S. winning the “Ice Cold War” in front of Vladimir Putin, Dartmouth athletes absolutely killing it Sochi and contemplating blitzing Sophie Caldwell ’12 to ask if she wants to grab a FoCo meal some time, we have not had time to think about much else.
This week, I sat down with Janae Dunchack ’14, a multi-event athlete on the women’s track and field team. Dunchack has been a dominant force for the team and is the three-time defending Ivy League champion in the pentathlon at the Ivy League Heptagonal Indoor Track and Field Championships. Dunchack hopes to sweep the event for her college career with a win at Leverone Field House on March 1 and 2. She came to Hanover as a high jumper but switched to multi-events her freshman year.
The women’s basketball team battled in two games this weekend against Cornell University and Columbia University, but was swept by its New York rivals, falling to Cornell (12-10, 4-4 Ivy) 78-59 on Friday before dropping a closer match to the Lions (5-17, 2-6 Ivy) 65-59. The team (3-19, 0-8 Ivy) returned home from a six-game road streak for the games.
The women’s hockey team ended its home season on a sour note, falling to St. Lawrence University on Friday night 4-1 and No. 5 Clarkson University 6-1 on Saturday night. Despite the disappointing finishes, the women remain in the running for the playoffs and in ninth place in the ECAC, thanks to Colgate University and No. 3 Cornell University’s wins over eighth-place Rensselaer Polytechnic Insitute.
The men’s basketball team dropped both of its games on its road trip this weekend, falling 70-67 to Cornell University in a heartbreaker and 69-59 to Columbia University. The Big Green has now lost four games straight, bringing its record to 9-13 overall, 2-6 versus the Ancient Eight.
The ski team continued its streak of second-place finishes at the Williams Carnival last weekend, coming in behind the University of Vermont for the fourth time this season. Dartmouth’s 834 points left it 136 short of UVM’s total but nearly 200 points ahead of third-place Middlebury College.
After a long and painful start to the season, the men’s hockey team is finally starting to get healthy enough to mount a playoff run. For the first time all season, Dartmouth swept a two-game weekend slate.
Fresh snow and blue skies welcomed Dartmouth’s only home carnival of the season last weekend. The Big Green came in second with 853 points to the University of Vermont, which stood ahead of the pack of 16 schools and scored 1,018 points across the eight alpine and Nordic events.
Loyal, faithful readers, at the beginning of this term, we promised you victory at all costs. We promised to try harder, to work out more, to eat better and to live for our sports. Well, we all make stupid promises at the beginning of term, and as many of you know from the miniscule amount of work you did this weekend, sometimes those promises are hard to keep. We regret nothing. We had a great Carnival. No apologies.
This week, I sat down with Nicholas Harrington ’17 of the men’s squash team to talk about adjusting to collegiate squash and rise to the top two positions on the team in his freshman year.
The women’s basketball team had a tough weekend on the road with two losses at Yale University and Brown University.
Harvard University stifled the men’s hockey team 3-0 in a physical battle highlighted by a technical malfunction. The Big Green (4-16-3, 3-12-1 ECAC) was haunted by an 0-5 night with the man advantage.
The men’s basketball team suffered back-to-back home losses over Winter Carnival weekend, falling 67-54 to Yale University on Friday night and 75-62 to Brown University on Saturday. The Big Green is now 9-11 overall and 2-4 in the Ivy League. After an impressive weekend sweep of the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University, the weekend was a disappointment for the Big Green, which failed to overcome early setbacks and injuries in both contests.
In a game that was far closer than the score indicated, the women’s hockey team fell to No. 5 Harvard University 4-1 at Thompson Arena on Friday. The Dartmouth women (7-16-1, 6-11-1 ECAC) were doomed by an 0-5 night on the power play and an inability to beat Harvard sophomore Emerance Maschmeyer despite outshooting the Crimson (18-3-3, 14-2-2 ECAC) for the second time this season.
The men’s and women’s track and field teams broke two more school records this weekend at Boston University’s Valentine Invitational.

The men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams competed in a close meet on Saturday at the University of Connecticut, both contests resting on the final event, the 400-yard freestyle relay. While the women secured a nail-biting 154-146 victory, the men were narrowly edged out by UConn 152.5-147.5.
Just under six minutes into the first period of the men’s hockey game against Princeton University on Saturday, the sellout crowd at Thompson Arena erupted, raining down tennis balls and a lone fish onto the ice. The Big Green men, especially goal scorer Grant Opperman ’17, celebrated, batting the balls around the rink as the baseball team shuffled out onto the ice to collect the debris.
Dartmouth runners broke a school record for the fourth time this season this weekend, this time in the men’s distance medley relay. Friday’s 9:37.33 time run by John Bleday ’14, Phil Gomez ’17, Steve Mangan ’14 and Will Geoghegan ’14 at the Pennsylvania State University narrowly eclipsed the old mark of 9:37.61, which was set in 2006.
The women’s ice hockey team dropped games to both Quinnipiac University and Princeton University this weekend on the road. Despite the fact that the Big Green (7-15-1, 6-10-1 ECAC) lost to both teams earlier this season, players were confident coming into the weekend on a three-game win streak.
