The Big Green (5-4-3, 2-1-0 Ivy) is now tied with Brown University, Columbia University and Yale for second place in the Ivy League.
Despite the inconsistent weather and days filled with flu-like symptoms, fall is settling in quite nicely. The leaves are turning brilliant colors and dropping from the trees while the days seem to be getting shorter and colder. However, that's not what calls attention to the biggest weekend of the term. As you peruse your Facebook newsfeed today, you'll start noticing Dartmouth alumni posting statuses like, "So excited for this weekend!" and, "Only four more days of work before I go back home!" Now you realize: Homecoming weekend is just a few days away.
I sat down with Dartmouth men's rugby player Justin Ciambella '13 to talk about the team's early success, his transformation into a star on the field and the possibility of racking up another USA Collegiate Rugby 7s National Championship for the Big Green.
The Quakers (11-2-0, 3-1-0 Ivy) came out in the first half with an overpowering offense, which the Big Green failed to challenge. Dartmouth had several scoring opportunities of its own but could not find the back of the net.
Following solid results at its season-opening shows at Middlebury College and the University of Vermont last weekend, the Dartmouth equestrian team continued to impress at Dartmouth's home show on Saturday, taking second place at the Dartmouth Riding Center in Etna, N.H. This season marks the first time in the team's history that it is NCAA compliant, allowing riders certain advantages previously only offered to other College varsity athletes.
Despite an initial two-set lead over Columbia (11-6, 5-2 Ivy), which had won seven of eight games heading into the matchup, the Big Green lost its momentum in the following two sets.
Racing against several of the best teams in the country, the Dartmouth men's and women's cross country teams both secured top-10 finishes at the Pre-National Invitational over the weekend.
The teams were well-matched throughout the 70-minute contest despite the team's lopsided score. The Big Green (8-5, 3-1 Ivy) tallied 28 shots in the game 15 in the first half and 13 in the second but only managed to score once as Yale sophomore goalie Emily Cain made 13 saves.
The Dartmouth men's tennis team continued its impressive play this weekend at the ITA Northeast Regional tournament. Five of the team's six single players, as well as two double teams, advanced to the 32-player round. Brandon DeBot '14, Chris Kipouras '15 and Cameron Ghorbani '14 all upset their first round opponents to move on to the smaller bracket. Kipouras and Ghorbani each needed three sets to finish off their opponents, while DeBot cruised past Princeton University sophomore Augie Bloom, 6-2, 6-4. Dartmouth's second-seeded single players, Xander Centenari '13 and Michael Laser '12, also advanced. The Big Green's fifth-seeded double team of Centenari and Laser won their opening match, setting up a showdown with ninth-seeded Princeton. The six-day event, which is hosted by Cornell University this year, finishes on Tuesday.
Holy Cross dominated possession throughout the game, holding the ball for over 38 minutes and gaining 522 yards of total offense. Dual-threat senior quarterback Ryan Taggart led the Crusader attack with 250 yards passing and 176 yards rushing. Dartmouth focused its game plan on eliminating Taggart from important plays, forcing the Big Green to concentrate on containment more than its own blitz attack.
Dartmouth came out with a fighting spirit in the first half, attempting to intimidate the Yale team right after the whistle. Early in the game, midfielder Ally Dutton '12 had a scoring opportunity with a header, but junior goalie Adele Jackson-Gibson saved the ball. Much to the Big Green's chagrin, Jackson-Gibson soon saved another shot, this time by Aly O'Dea '12.
Forward and assistant captain Doug Jones '12 was named one of the 20 men's hockey candidates for the 2012 Lowe's Senior CLASS Award, according to a Thursday announcement on SeniorCLASSAward.com. The CLASS award, which stands for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, recognizes excellence in academics and athletics, as well as commitment to the community. Jones was the Big Green's second highest scorer last season, registering 29 points. As an economics major, Jones has maintained a 3.5 GPA and earned Eastern College Athletic Conference All-Academic honors during each of the past three seasons. The field of 20 candidates will be cut to 10 finalists midway through the season before fans, media and Division I coaches select the CLASS award's final winner.
I sat down with John Scheve '13, an offensive lineman on the Dartmouth football team, to talk about the start of the Big Green's season and his growing role on the team.
My classmate Chad Hollis '12 argued in his column last Friday that student-athletes should not be given a share of athletic department revenues gained by collegiate institutions revenues that are made possible because of the performances displayed by many of these same individiduals ("Hollisto's World," Oct. 7). But why not let these student-athletes receive some of the pie they cooked themselves?
MEN'S GOLF
Although the women's volleyball team fell to Yale University on Friday night, Dartmouth (10-6, 2-3 Ivy) redeemed its loss with a win against Brown University the following day.
After running to disappointing results at the Paul Short Invitational on Oct. 3, the Dartmouth men's and women's cross country teams made great strides in Saturday's New England Championships at Boston's Franklin Park.
Dartmouth (7-4, 3-0 Ivy) got off to a noticeably slow start during the first half of the game, failing to play with its usual aggression. Hood said the inability to quickly build momentum has plauged the team throughout the season.
The Bulldogs came out strong on Saturday afternoon, testing the Big Green from the opening whistle.
"It was a rough day," co-captain Shawn Abuhoff '12 said. "The biggest problem was that we came out very flat. It was an anomaly, and it was an odd feeling to be a part of. It just seemed like we weren't ready."
