Dartmouth began play on Friday, when the team took on Fairfield (5-5), searching for a victory after going winless last weekend in the University of Connecticut Toyota Classic. The Big Green won its first set of the year in the match but eventually fell to Fairfield, 25-17, 25-20, 21-25, 25-18.
Dartmouth (2-2) looked sharp at the open of Friday's game against the Black Bears and wasted no time getting on the scoreboard. In the 12th minute, Chrissy Lozier '14 broke away from a group of Maine (3-3) defenders and met a lofting pass from Corey Delaney '16, securing Dartmouth's first goal of the game with a header.
Geoghegan finished the eight-kilometer course in 24:43, edging out Syracuse junior Joe Whelan by seven seconds. Tito Medrano a fifth-year senior at Syracuse running unattached because he is out of eligibility was the overall winner, finishing in 24:39.
Behind the offense of Alex Adelabu '15, the Dartmouth men's soccer team earned a split in its two games over the weekend. The Big Green (2-2, 0-0 Ivy League) lost, 2-1, to Southern Methodist University on a late penalty kick on Friday before beating Colgate University, 1-0, on Sunday, giving head coach Jeff Cook his 99th career win.
Vince Marriott: For my last What to Watch For of the term, it's only fitting that I choose a Philadelphia sporting event. This time, I have to go with game two of the Sixers-Celtics series, as every other Philly team is either mediocre or eliminated at the moment. Even though watching game one on Saturday proved to be a particularly painful exercise, especially in the fourth quarter, I have to believe that the youth of the Sixers will prevail over the old men playing for Boston. Still, I expect both teams to put up a good fight, and there's no way that this series is going to be less than six or seven games. Besides, Dartmouth sports have pretty much wrapped up, so what else are you going to do? (Monday, 7 p.m., TNT)
You arrive at the library on Sunday afternoon and decide a KAF trip is necessary to begin your day full of studying and browsing memes. The line is terribly long and continues to get longer as friends of the people in line try to execute the classic "chat and cut." After spending $20 which only gets you a sandwich, apple and a complimentary cup of water you embark on your quest to find an open spot, preferably not on First Floor Berry since you decided today was going to be about getting stuff done and not about facetime.
This week, I sat down with men's ice hockey goaltender Cab Morris '14 to discuss the team's offseason training, the future of the Dartmouth hockey program and his trivia knowledge.
The Dartmouth crew teams saw mixed results in their respective league championship races over the weekend. In a tense repeat performance of its April 14 matchup, the second-ranked Big Green men's lightweight team finished second behind Harvard University, the No. 1 ranked team in the nation, in the first varsity eight Grand Final at the EARC Sprints on Sunday.
Dartmouth (12-5, 5-2 Ivy) kept the score close for the majority of the game, never trailing by more than two goals until the latter parts of the second half. After playing to a 3-3 draw in the first half, the Orange outscored the Big Green, 12-2, after halftime to claim the victory.
Some Big Green athletes looked to rebound from subpar performances at last weekend's Ivy League Heptagonal Championships, while others used the meets as one last chance to post a qualifying time for the NCAA East Preliminary Round on May 24-26 at the University of North Florida.
Vince Marriott: Well, it seems as though Derrick Rose really did provide the spark that ignited the Chicago Bulls. Since his devastating departure in game one, Chicago has been hard pressed to live up to the lofty expectations that accompanied the team going into the playoffs. Even worse, the departure of Joakim Noah later in the series has only compounded the Bulls' problems. Meanwhile, the Sixers have been playing lights-out basketball thanks to the efforts of Spencer Hawes and Jrue Holiday, among others. With the Sixers up 3-1, this series seems to be reaching its conclusion, and it's looking like the Bulls are going to be going out with a whimper despite one hell of a regular season. (Tuesday, 5:30 p.m., NBATV)
Last week, I wrote that the path to the NBA championship for the Miami Heat had gotten much easier due to the season-ending knee injury suffered by Bulls point guard Derrick Rose. Rose suffered the injury in the opening game of his team's first round series against the Philadelphia 76ers. His ACL tear shook the city of Chicago, similar to how Mariano Rivera's ACL injury devastated the Big Apple. The Yankees closer's career is pretty much over, considering he is 42 years old and, unlike Rose, his road to recovery won't be as smooth as that of a 23-year-old.
This week, I sat down with figure skating team member Maria Sperduto '14 to discuss figure skating, the team's recent national championship and what the future has in store for her and the team.
Similar to last season's spring game, there were not enough healthy players to completely field two separate squads. There were only three healthy cornerbacks and even fewer healthy nickelbacks, and only three running backs were healthy enough to carry the football. As a result, the Green team consisted of defensive players while the White team was made up entirely of offensive personnel.
In the first day of competition on Saturday, the Big Green scored seven total points. Dartmouth's Ethan Shaw '12 earned four of them with a fourth-place finish in the 10,000-meter race in a time of 29:37.78, barely edged out by the third-place runner from Harvard University by under a second. A fifth-place finish by Brett Gilson '13 in the javelin added two more points, and a sixth-place finish by Josh Cyphers '14 in the pole vault added a point to the Dartmouth total.
D'Agostino ran a 4:19.93 in the 1,500-meter run on Saturday, shattering the previous Heps record of 4:20.75 set by Penn's Stacy Kim in 2008. On Sunday, D'Agostino finished in an even faster time, crossing the line in 4:17.90, good for 10 Dartmouth points. D'Agostino's time is close to the one posted by Kristen Mawaring '96, who still holds the College record in the event with a time of 4:16.23.
As Cornell University's Chris Cruz's towering walk-off two-run home run sailed into the adjacent parking lot, Dartmouth right fielder David Turnbull '12 could do nothing but watch as the finale of the Ivy League Championship Series and Dartmouth's once-promising season came to a crashing halt. Cornell defeated the Big Green 3-1 in an 11-inning pitchers' duel, sending the Big Red to the NCAA Regionals and the Big Green back to Hanover.
"We did something [this weekend] that no other Dartmouth team has accomplished, and right now the sky is the limit," captain Sarah Plumb '12 said.
Vince Marriott: This Saturday, one of the most historic athletic events in the history of the United States is taking place the 138th running of the Kentucky Derby. This event has for over a century been the best measuring stick for speed, endurance and racing skill of thoroughbred horses in the country, and it shows no signs of disappointing this year. Hansen has a great shot, but Daddy Long Legs should also challenge for the title. Even if horse racing isn't necessarily your thing, the outrageous outfits and unlike celebrity attendees also provide for quality entertainment. (Saturday, 5-7 p.m., NBC)
This is a great time for television, especially if you just had a stressful week full of midterms, late nights and cough medicine like I did. Seeing as I have a window of about five days before I have to spend countless hours in the library which, by the way, also means I'll be spending all my DBA at KAF I feel like I must take advantage of that time by watching televised sporting events. My options are endless. Baseball season is well underway, and I know that because 75 percent of SportsCenter's highlights are baseball-related, unless there was a game-winning goal in a thrilling double overtime NHL playoff game. If either of those isn't on, you're in luck because the NBA playoffs kicked off on Saturday to start TNT's "40 Games in 40 Nights."
