Dartmouth volleyball lost its fourth straight match after facing Harvard University on Friday evening, falling to 9-9 on the season and 2-6 in Ivy League play. After a 2-2 start to conference play, the Big Green has come up short in recent matches, losing 3-1 to Yale University last week.
With less than six minutes left in the fourth quarter on Oct. 19, the Big Green seemed to be falling apart. Down 16-13 to Central Connecticut State University, quarterback Grayson Saunier ’27 lost his helmet and hurt his ankle on second and goal at the one-yard line, taking him out for the next snap. Freshman quarterback Kyle Meier ’28 replaced Saunier, but Meier — making his Dartmouth debut — fumbled the ball, which CCSU recovered.

Born with the rare disease spina bifida in 1988 — a decade after the first integrated Olympic and Paralympic games — Ratzlaff has grown up in the world of adaptive sports. He has racked up numerous accolades in his young career, winning a silver medal at the 2019 Parapan American Games games in Peru and representing the United States on seven World Team Cups. This summer, he competed at his second Paralympic games in Paris in both the singles and doubles divisions. In singles, Ratzlaff lost in the second round to Brazil’s Daniel Rodrigues. In doubles, Ratzlaff and his partner fell to Argentina in the opening round. The Dartmouth spoke with Ratzlaff to discuss his most recent competition in Paris, his reflections on the people and communities that have shaped him and his ambitions for the future.

Despite the pressure of the moment and the intense winds, Zalc was unfazed, sending the ball through the uprights to secure Dartmouth a narrow 16-14 victory at Duane Stadium in North Andover, Mass. on Sept. 28.
