Last week we talked about how it would feel to be a fan of the teams in the Western conference of the National Basketball Association, and this week we will talk about the teams in the East. \n Atlanta Hawks: They have one of the best playing styles in basketball.

Skiing takes second at East Regional Skiing Championship

By Kourtney Kawano | March 4, 2015

After finding itself in a close race for second in the first day of the St. Lawrence Carnival, the ski teams pulled ahead with higher placements in the men’s 20K classic and slalom to solidify a strong second-place finish overall. The Big Green earned a total of 782 points and edged the University of New Hampshire by a slim margin of 12 points. Even with the strong second-day finishes, though, the Big Green could not catch the University of Vermont who came away from Lake Placid, New York, with this past weekend’s NCAA East Regional Championship title with a strong lead of 1,001 points.

Baseball returns winless from opening series against Texas A&M

By Gayne Kalustian | March 3, 2015

You can always tell when it’s the first weekend of a baseball team’s season. The pitchers’ ERAs are largely goose eggs or more similar to their own shoe sizes. The batting averages of a few hitters are impressive, some almost unreal, while others are closer to BACs after a few games of pong. Drawing from just about the smallest sample size you can, the numbers often feel wild and erratic. So what can be done to make sense of the team’s 0-3 series against No. 14 Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, this past weekend?

The women’s ice hockey team fell to No. 1 seed Clarkson University in the quarterfinals of the ECAC tournament this past weekend. The No. 8 seed Big Green lost the first two games against the Golden Knights by a score differential of 10-1 in the best-of-three round.

Women’s basketball picks up pair of Ivy League wins

By Alexander Agadjanian | March 1, 2015

For all of the peaks and valleys the women’s basketball team has endured this season, this past weekend’s games carried extra meaning. Not only was it a chance to properly send off the senior class in its final two home games and get back to the .500 win percentage mark for the year, but it also provided an opportunity for a step in a positive direction in the program’s second year under head coach Belle Koclanes. In unequivocally dominant fashion, the Big Green did just that, trouncing Columbia University 60-50 on Friday night and Cornell University 54-35 less than 24 hours later.

By Lily Gordon | March 1, 2015

This week, I sat down with Jacqueline Crawford ’17 of the women’s tennis team. The team recently jumped to No. 22 in the national rankings after winning the ECAC Championship for the first time in program history. This past weekend, the Big Green women defeated the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, 4-3.

Men’s hockey sweeps end of regular season

By Gayne Kalustian | March 1, 2015

The game is steeped in tradition. It is loaded with pride. It ended in a 3-1 victory for Dartmouth, and its all-too enticing teaser of a freshman scoring a goal he predicted in jest beforehand is an appealing story — but the weekend would bring even more highlights.

Softball opened its season in Tampa, Florida, this past weekend with a 1-4 start.

Women’s basketball falls to Penn and undefeated Princeton

By Alexander Agadjanian | February 23, 2015

Seeking to build on a victory that snapped a month-long losing streak one week ago, the Dartmouth women’s basketball team found itself in the toughest portion of its Ivy League schedule — travelling to play the two top-ranked teams in its conference. After losing to the No. 14 Princeton University Tigers by 70-31, and falling to the Pennsylvania University Quakers 63-46, the team will now regroup with an eye on finishing the last four games of the season on a strong note.

In its penultimate regular season weekend, the men picked up some critical points and now sit one point out of fourth in the ECAC.

Men’s hockey splits pair of road games

By Gayne Kalustian | February 22, 2015

Personally, I find the game-winning goal statistic to be over-hyped. Players collect them here and there, sometimes coincidentally in the middle of the game or right after the puck drops if their team’s defense is good enough.
