By Ming Keong Lee | October 1, 2008

Nina Maja Bergmar '11's "Peace, Love and Respect" (Sept. 29) is an exercise in self-righteous writing, succeeding only at browbeating and berating its audience into anything but agreement with the premises of the piece. Far be it from me to deny that sexism remains a problem at Dartmouth -- it is an urgent issue that needs to be addressed.

Field hockey drops match to Holy Cross, 3-2, despite early lead

September 30, 2008

Despite catching the Crusaders off guard with a goal within the first minute of play, Dartmouth field hockey could not maintain its early advantage as the Big Green fell to Holy Cross, 3-2, Sunday afternoon in Hanover. Just 47 seconds into the game, Rebecca Sobel '11 broke open the scoring for Dartmouth (1-6, 1-1 Ivy), guiding the ball into the back of the net on a tip and claiming her second goal of the season. The positive start seemed to add to the Big Green's rising momentum set off by the team's first win of the season against Brown on Saturday. Dartmouth continued to pressure Holy Cross (3-5, 0-0 Patriot League) and keep the ball in the Crusader half of the field during the opening period.
