The men’s and women’s track and field teams earned two new school records as they split up again this weekend to compete in the historic Penn Relays, featuring the Championship of America races, and the University of New Hampshire Wildcat Invitational.
Sports fans, this was truly a giant week in Legends history. After realizing that a comeback and sweet redemption has been mathematically impossible since the sixth week of winter term, we have truly embraced the senior spring philosophy and gone for the long ball — things we would not usually have any CHANCE of success in, but we have always wanted to try. Spoiler alert: we really have had no success in many of these things, but they have been a blast.
This week I sat down with men’s tennis player Dovydas Sakinis ’16. Sakinis has been a driving force behind a resurgent Big Green (18-6, 5-2 Ivy) that saw its best Ivy record since 1998.
Spending just over $23.4 million in fiscal year 2013, Dartmouth’s athletics department expenditures ranked the third-highest in the Ivy League, according to the Department of Education’s equity in athletics data analysis cutting tool. The University of Pennsylvania leads the League in spending, with fiscal year 2013 expenditures totaling over $39 million, and Yale University tops out above $36 million. Dartmouth’s budget more closely resembles the rest of the Ivies, which spent between $18 and $22 million overall.
After winning three games against Brown University, the softball team suffered its first Ivy loss of the season.
With the pressure of the season weighing down on the closing weeks of Ivy League play, Dartmouth baseball is locked in a dogfight with Yale University for the Red Rolfe Division crown. The Big Green (12-19, 7-9 Ivy) sits two games back from the Bulldogs (17-19, 9-7 Ivy) after splitting a pair of doubleheaders against Brown University this weekend.
After making quick work in a 4-0 sweep at Yale University on Saturday, the men’s tennis team won in dramatic fashion for the second week in a row at the Thompson outdoor courts on Sunday. It took a third set tiebreaker victory from Chris Kipouras ’15 to secure the win for the Big Green (18-5, 5-1 Ivy) against Brown University on senior day. The final score line was 4-3. The two wins secured the team’s winningest Ivy record since the eight-team league was established in 1998 and the 18 wins ties an all-time high.
In its Saturday game against Princeton University, the women’s lacrosse team came away empty handed, losing 12-10 after a second-half rally.
The track and field teams split up this weekend, heading to California for the Mt. SAC Relays and invitationals at Yale University and Princeton University.
The men’s lacrosse team was defeated 9-3 by the No. 10 University of Pennsylvania Quakers on Saturday afternoon at Scully-Fahey Field in a game controlled by tough defense.
Loyal readers, real spring in the Northeast is finally upon us and you all know what that means: 50 degree temperature changes, puddles in places that defy both logic and gravity, Red Sox baseball, the Bruins in the playoffs and, most importantly, a sport we can all participate in: Marathon Monday in Boston.
This Friday I sat down with the baseball team’s second baseman Thomas Roulis ’15 to talk about the team fighting out of an early-season slump, his professional idol and his ideal superpower.
Well, loyal readers, it finally happened. The spring finally came and, with it, the best day of the year: “Sports Day.” During “Sports Day,” classes are canceled (because it’s always on a Saturday), social events are enjoyed (often on porches) and friends come together to cheer on Dartmouth sporting events and throw every chirp they can possibly imagine at opposing teams from lesser colleges and universities.
This week, I sat down with Robbie Anthony ’14, a center on the men’s rugby team and former wide receiver on the football team. Anthony transferred to Dartmouth after his freshman year at Clemson University and joined the rugby team after the Big Green’s football season ended with a win over Princeton University. Anthony recently helped the rugby team defeat Harvard University for the Ivy League Championship and his former squad in the Champions Cup.
The men’s lacrosse team (1-8, 0-4 Ivy) dropped its sixth consecutive game on Saturday, a 13-10 loss to No. 17 Princeton University. Last season, the team upset the Tigers 10-9, but this time around, the Tigers (7-4, 2-2 Ivy) came out firing, ripping 31 shots in the first half en route to 53 in the game.
With the fate of the season on the line, the Big Green baseball team stepped into Biondi Park for back-to-back doubleheaders this weekend against Red Rolfe Division leader Yale University (13-18, 6-6 Ivy), settling for a 3-1 split. The weekend series made one thing clear: the Big Green offense has broken free from its early season frustration and is looking for blood.
Justin Maffett ’16 had not ridden a horse since he was nine years old when he tried out for the equestrian team his freshman spring.
After the women’s lacrosse team fell to the University of Pennsylvania 10-6 in a rematch of last year’s Ivy League tournament championship game, both players and coach had the team’s character in mind. With this loss, the Big Green drops to 5-6 on the season and 2-3 in Ivy play.
The softball team continued to roll through its competition, extending its win streak to 13 and maintaining a perfect 12-0 Ivy League record with a four-game weekend sweep of Yale University.
