Although it may seem like men dominate every aspect of the world, women play a huge role today. Half a century ago, females were overlooked, especially in the spheres of politics and athletics. Women had to settle for either low-paying or part-time jobs. Times were indeed tough for the fairer sex, as men dictated the world's course.
This week I sat down with men's lacrosse goalie Bernie Susskind '13 to discuss the team's season, his performance and the Big Green's upcoming Ivy games. Dartmouth (2-8, 0-4 Ivy) has dropped eight in a row after winning its first two games of the season, including a 21-6 loss to Princeton University on Saturday. The Big Green has four games remaining on the season and next plays on Saturday against the University of Pennsylvania at Sculley-Fahey Field.
The Big Green has not won a game since March 3, when the team defeated Sacred Heart University at Scully-Fahey Field. Princeton was the fifth ranked opponent the Big Green played this season, and the loss dropped its record in those games to 1-4.
The Dartmouth softball team earned its first doubleheader sweep in Ivy League play this season against Brown University on Saturday before losing two close contests to the Bears (8-20, 5-7 Ivy League) on Sunday, 5-4 and 4-3. On Saturday, the Big Green (10-17, 3-9 Ivy League) won a tight battle in the first game, 6-4, before trouncing the Bears in the second game, 11-3.
The Dartmouth men's and women's tennis teams were both in action over the weekend, with the men playing at home and the women on the road. Both teams competed against Princeton University on Saturday and the University of Pennsylvania on Sunday.
After losing the first game on a defensive error and bases-loaded walk, the Big Green's offense responded with 30 runs in the next three games, a positive performance that the team will look to carry into its final two league series matchups against Yale University and Harvard University.
The game did not disappoint, as the two teams were tied, 7-7, with under 10 minutes to go, when Dartmouth (9-2, 5-0 Ivy) used two late goals to pull ahead for a 9-7 victory. With the win, Dartmouth seized sole possession of first place in the Ivy League, dropping Penn (6-5, 4-1 Ivy) to second.
"A lot of people working here are staying in hotels and stuff, but I just decided to do the camping thing," Browne explained.
Dartmouth was successful in all phases of the game against Penn and backed up strong pitching performances with solid hitting. The Big Green won the games by scores of 6-3 and 11-2.
Friday's first game was a pitcher's duel, with Kristen Rumley '15 leading the way for the Big Green, posting a two-hit shutout. In seven innings of work, Rumley struck out 10 Quakers and allowed just one walk.
Although Cornell had averaged nearly 15 goals per game on the season going into the contest, the Big Green proved that it could surmount Cornell's skilled offensive attack and elevated speed of play and the Dartmouth women rose to the challenge of a fast, offensive game.
The Dartmouth men's tennis team defeated Cornell University on Sunday, 4-3, to salvage a split on its weekend road trip after falling to Columbia University, 5-2, on Saturday. The defeat to Columbia (16-2, 3-0 Ivy) was just the second loss of the season for the No. 67 Big Green (15-2, 1-1 Ivy) and the first in conference play.
The team started off on a high note, scoring the first three goals of the game. After a blocked shot and successful clear, Anthony Fulham '13 received the ball in the center of the field, ran down to the offensive end on a fast break and ripped a shot from about 10 yards out for the goal.
It was Dartmouth's first meet of the season at which the entire men's and women's teams were able to compete. While several members of both teams traveled to meets in North and South Carolina during spring break, the entire roster had not yet competed together.
This week, I talked with Steve Mangan '14, a three-term athlete who competes on the cross country, skiing and track and field teams. Steve is currently running the 1,500 and 5,000-meter races in outdoor track and is preparing for the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships May 5-6.
All around campus this spring, you will see tons of students crowding around televisions. No, it's not because the Aires recorded a never-before-seen episode of NBC's "The Sing-Off" although we all wish that would happen, right? You could make the argument that students are intently watching the television because a new episode of "Game of Thrones" is airing, but let's be honest if you're going to watch an episode of HBO's best series since "The Wire," you definitely want a comfortable couch in a dimly lit room and copious amounts of snacks around you.
Vince Marriott: Finally, the NHL is getting interesting. The pointless regular season has come to a close, and the playoffs have arrived. Even better, my Philadelphia Flyers are playing their in-state rival Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round. That means that I have at least four chances to sit and watch as Sidney Crosby gets violently slammed into the boards ... and cry to the refs about it. What could be better than that? Besides anything happening in the NBA, NFL or MLB, of course. With numerous other good matchups to watch over the next few weeks, hockey should provide a welcome diversion from what has recently passed for sports news, like what Tim Tebow had for breakfast. (Wednesday, 7:30 p.m., NBC)Jonathan Gault: The Barclays Premier League title is all but decided this season Manchester United appears a lock to win its fifth championship in six years but there is one trophy that the Red Devils won't get their hands on in 2012 the FA Cup. The world's oldest soccer competition is down to four teams, with two intense semifinals set for this weekend at hallowed Wembley Stadium. On Saturday, crosstown rivals Liverpool and Ever ton will meet in an extra-impor tant installment of their storied rivalr y. In the other game, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur will do battle for the second finalist spot. Chelsea is looking to win its fourth FA Cup in six years, but it also has a massive Champions League semifinal against Barcelona just three days later. Will they overlook Spurs, who haven't made the final since 1991? (Saturday, 7:30 a.m. and Sunday, 1 p.m., Fox Soccer)Dong Zhao: At the New York Yankees home opener on Friday, the fans at Yankee Stadium will get their first up-close look at prized off-season free agents Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson, who signed for astronomical contracts of $254 million and $77.5 million, respectively. The only problem for Yankees fans is that the two play for the visiting Los Angeles Angels. It will be a strange sight for Yankees fans, who are used to seeing their hometown team make these offseason splashes with the team's seemingly unlimited budget. The Yankees and the Angels will look to extend the great American rivalry between old money and new money on the baseball diamond. (Friday, 1:35 p.m., YES Network)
Vince Marriott: There's no doubt that the premier sporting event of this week is taking place on Monday night, when the Kansas University Jayhawks take on the Kentucky University Wildcats in the NCAA National Championship game. Neither team's presence in the finals is much of a surprise, and Kentucky beat Kansas by a comfortable margin of 10 points early this season, but the past has no bearing on Monday. Each team's entire season will come down to how it plays over these last 40 minutes. The winner will remain immortal, while the loser will find itself subject to perpetual highlight-reel humiliation. Look for Kentucky to win, at least until Calipari does something to force the university to vacate its victories. (Monday, 9:23 p.m., CBS).
If common sense had prevailed, this column would have dealt with baseball either Dartmouth, Major League or little league. However, don't fret. We shall indeed converse about baseball this term, considering that the Big Green is one of the elite teams in the country. Like Charlie Kelly (from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia") would say, "in eyes of the law," baseball must be the top sporting event come April.
This week, I sat down with women's tennis players Shelley Carpeni '12 and Jeri Reichel '13 to discuss the team's season and its quest to defend the Ivy League title.
