Including the matches against Brown, the men's team (10-6, 2-4 Ivy) has tallied seven shutouts this season and the women's team (9-7, 1-5 Ivy) has totaled nine shutouts.
The two wins maintained Dartmouth's third-place position in the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference standings.

Dartmouth football head coach Buddy Teevens announced the hiring of former University of Oklahoma defensive lineman Calvin Thibodeaux as defensive line coach on Friday, according to DartmouthSports.com. Thibodeaux spent the past season as the defensive line coach at Navarro College, which posted an 11-1 record and won the National Junior College Athletic Association national championship last fall. Navarro's defense produced 25 sacks during the season and was ranked in the top 12 nationally in both rushing defense and total defense. Thibodeaux also spent time at the University of Houston as a graduate assistant coach, working specifically with the defensive line and outside linebackers. During his first year at Houston, the Cougars made their first bowl appearance in 28 years behind the play of defensive end Philip Hunt, who was named Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year. Thibodeaux also won three Big 12 Championships as a player at Oklahoma while appearing in four Bowl Championship Series bowl games, including two BCS National Championship games. As a junior in 2005, he was named All-Big 12 after leading the league with 10 sacks. Thibodeaux will replace former defensive line coach James Jones, who helped guide the Big Green defense to 28 sacks last season.

As January quietly turned into February, the national sports scenery rapidly changed. To give you a quick update, pitchers and catchers will report to MLB spring training in under a week, and the long and arduous journey also known as the NFL season has finally come to an end (congratulations to the Packers, you now officially have four more Super Bowl titles than my poor Philadelphia Eagles).
I sat down with women's hockey goaltender Lindsay Holdcroft '14, who delivered the fourth shutout of her rookie season on Saturday, saving 18 shots against Ivy League foe Princeton University. At 66.7 percent, Holdcroft holds the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference's third-best winning percentage and a 2.10 goals against average.

Friday's victory against the Quakers (7-12, 1-4 Ivy) was the Big Green's first League win of the season. Dartmouth (5-14, 1-4 Ivy) led by one point at halftime, and its victory was not guaranteed until the team hit several key free throws down the stretch.

Big Green hockey players Lindsay Holdcroft '14 and Matt Lindblad '14 were chosen as the Cross High Performance Athletes of the Week on Feb. 2, according to DartmouthSports.com. Holdcroft, the women's team's starting goaltender, earned victories in games against Yale University on Jan. 28 and Brown University on Jan. 29.

Lindblad a rookie forward on the men's hockey team played at full strength for the first time since falling ill a couple weeks ago. In a 7-3 win over Colgate University on Jan. 29, Lindblad tipped the puck into the back of the net to give the Big Green a 3-1 lead in the second period. Later in the game, he made two more heads-up plays, resulting in the final two Dartmouth goals. With 19 points, Lindblad is currently tied for third on the team in points, and leads the team with 16 points in ECAC play.

The early score was important for the team's morale, according to assistant captain Evan Stephens '11.

Having spent all of my middle school and high school years living near Philadelphia, I thought I knew what hockey fans were all about. The Philadelphia Flyers sell out almost every home game, and they have enjoyed a large following ever since the Broad Street Bully era of the 1970s. In a matter of days, however, everything I thought I knew about hockey fans changed.
I sat down with David Irving '11 to chat about his last three meets the Dartmouth Relays, a tri-meet in New York City and a home meet against the University of Vermont and the University of Maine and his final season at Dartmouth.
