Women's hockey eyes second place after weekend win, tie

By Cameron Nutt | February 4, 2008

ADRIAN MUNTEANU / The Dartmouth The Big Green women's hockey team posted a solid showing during their second-to-last home stand of the season, tying Yale 3-3 on Friday and defeating Brown 4-2 on Saturday. Yale (9-9-5, 6-7-3 ECAC) arrived in Hanover hoping to defend second place in the Ivy League, which it had wrested from the Big Green (12-7-4, 9-5-2 ECAC) last week following Dartmouth's loss to Harvard (19-1-0, 16-0-0 ECAC). When the two teams played earlier in the season, Dartmouth emerged with a 4-1 victory. The Bulldogs got the first major opportunity early in the first period with a 5-on-3 power play advantage but failed to get any of six shots past the Dartmouth defense and goalkeeper Carli Clemis '09.

After a promising start, the Big Green hit a speedbump this weekend.

Women's basketball rallies to win two Ivy League games

SEBASTIAN RAMIREZ-BRUNNER / The Dartmouth Coming from behind both times, Dartmouth women's basketball put together consecutive victories this past weekend with a 68-55 win against Princeton and a 63-58 win against Penn. With the weekend sweep, the Big Green (6-12, 3-1 Ivy) leads the Ancient Eight along with Cornell (11-6, 3-1 Ivy), Harvard (10-8, 3-1 Ivy) and Yale (5-12, 3-1 Ivy). In all three of its Ancient Eight wins this season, Dartmouth had to battle back from second-half deficits and build key scoring runs to win. Head coach Chris Wielgus pointed out that the team does a superb job of stifling opposing teams to throw up long jumpers when the shot clock is winding down. "We pride ourselves in our defense," Wielgus said.

The Power of Free Booze

By David Glovsky | February 4, 2008

The success of frats is, first and foremost, tied to one thing: Free beer. Without the ever-flowing tap of free libations, the popularity of fraternities at Dartmouth would plummet. Without free alcohol, underage students -- unless they know upperclassmen who will buy them alcohol -- will remain legally sober.
