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.

The men’s basketball team fell to Princeton University on Friday night but bounced back with a win over the University of Pennsylvania.

Men’s basketball loses to Princeton, beats Penn

By Ray Lu | February 22, 2015

The Big Green men’s basketball team went 1-1 in the last week of its two-week home stand, dropping to Princeton University on Friday 63-56 before avenging a loss to the University of Pennsylvania earlier this season with a victory of 67-62 on Saturday. \n Traditionally, the Princeton-Penn weekends have been tough on the Big Green (10-14, 3-7 Ivy). The Tigers (12-13, 5-4 Ivy) now hold a lifetime 147-62 record, while the Quakers (7-16, 2-7 Ivy) dropped to 150-59. \n Earlier in the season, the Big Green faced both teams on the road, taking tough losses to Penn 58-51 and to Princeton 64-53.

Gabas Maldunas ’15 returns from injury to reach 1,000 points

By Kourtney Kawano | February 19, 2015

Like professional NBA stars Pau Gasol and Kevin Garnett, Gabas Maldunas ’15 discovered a passion for basketball during his later years in middle and high school. Despite his upbringing in Lithuania, where basketball is the country’s national sport, Maldunas didn’t take to the sport too quickly, admitting he didn’t enjoy it much when he began playing in the second grade. Still, he continued to play at the insistence of his parents, and years later — after growing to an impressive six-foot-nine-inch height — he found his calling as a power-forward and center like Gasol and Garnett did.
