On the men's Nordic team, the trio of Sam Tarling '13, Eric Packer '12 and Nils Koons '11 continued to deliver strong performances.

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.
The Dartmouth men's and women's swimming teams and the men's tennis team enjoyed success this weekend against non-conference foes. The tennis team faced Boston College and Sacred Heart University, and won both matches by large margins. Members of both swim teams fared well at the Middlebury Invite against Williams College, Amherst College, Marywood University, Middlebury College and the University of Vermont.
Both the men and women were swept by the Tigers, 9-0, continuing the five-year losing streak against Princeton. The women's team (7-7, 0-5 Ivy) was ranked eighth and Princeton (8-3, 4-3 Ivy) was ranked fifth entering the weekend. On the men's side, Dartmouth (9-6, 1-4 Ivy) was ranked number seven and Princeton (8-1, 5-1 Ivy) was number three.
The Dartmouth men's basketball team faced off against two of the top teams in the Ivy League this weekend. The Big Green (5-15, 1-5 Ivy) was denied its first League road win since February 2009 when it fell to the University of Pennsylvania on Friday, 78-47, before dropping Saturday's game against Princeton University, 68-53.
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.
The Big Green scored 801.5 total points at the carnival, which was held in Stowe, Vt. The University of New Hampshire finished third with 783 points.
With the split, the Big Green (15-9-0, 11-7-0 ECAC) remains in third place in the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference standings with 22 points. Cornell University and Harvard University are in first and second place, respectively.
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. She stopped 51 of 52 shots that came her way over the weekend and earned the third shutout of her rookie career. Holdcroft's strong play has propelled the Big Green into third place in the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference. Holdcroft has also earned the conference's rookie of the week award twice this season. 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 Big Green (13-7-3, 9-5-2 ECAC) started quickly against Brown (7-11-4, 5-9-1 ECAC) as Nick Walsh '12 put his own rebound into the back of the net less than a minute into the game, giving Dartmouth a one-goal advantage. The early score was important for the team's morale, according to assistant captain Evan Stephens '11.
When teams like basketball, tennis, squash and track and field go on the road, they share experiences that help bring them together, both on and off the court.
Men's squash player Robbie Maycock '13 and women's hockey player Camille Dumais '13 were named Cross High Performance Athletes of the Week by DartmouthSports.com on Jan. 26. Maycock defeated his opponent from Williams College, 3-0, in the number six position, helping propel the Dartmouth squash team to a 7-2 victory last Saturday. Maycock has won three straight matches and is 7-3 this season. On the ice, Dumais' play also earned her the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference MLX Skates Player of the Week honor. She helped lead the Big Green women's hockey team to three straight victories over the past week, registering a total of six goals and three assists during the stretch. She tallied one goal and two assists in a 5-1 win at Vermont last Tuesday.

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. Irving claimed the top spot in the weight throw at all three meets including an 18.21-meter distance at the Dartmouth Relays and is also the captain of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, editor-in-chief of the Dartmouth Law Journal and a member of Beta Alpha Omega fraternity. Irving placed second in the weight throw event at the competitive Terrier Classic in Boston, Mass., this weekend.
Fifteen groups of four teams competed in the tournament at various campus sites, including at Clemson University, where Dartmouth (1-2) played in a bracket with tenth-ranked Clemson, 26th-ranked Vanderbilt University and 53rd-ranked Marshall University. Dartmouth is currently ranked 61st.
The Dartmouth men's tennis team began its indoor season this past Friday, competing against DePaul University in Chicago, Ill. Although the team fought hard, it lost to the Blue Demons, 7-0, before rebounding to beat the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay in Chicago on Saturday, 6-1.
Although the faceoff between Dartmouth (7-4, 0-3 Ivy) ranked seventh and Cornell, the sixth-seeded team, was close, the Dartmouth women's team had defeated Cornell earlier this season at the Ivy Scrimmages and improved from last season's 2-7 loss.
Despite strong play from several less experienced players including Faziah Steen '13, who scored a career high in points on Saturday, and Janelle Ross '14, who recorded her first double-double on Friday the Dartmouth women's basketball team could not match Cornell University and Columbia University, and lost to both over the weekend.
The Big Green (12-6-3, 8-4-2 ECAC) generated several offensive opportunities against the Big Red in the first period, but Dartmouth could not find an answer to Cornell freshman goalie Andy Iles.
