Men’s basketball begins season on road

|

When now-captain Gabas Maldunas ’15 tore his ACL last January, the Big Green had to play without its then-leading scorer and rebounder. But the team managed to go 5-8 down the stretch, thanks to standout performances by Alex Mitola ’16 and Connor Boehm ’16. The team’s 12-16 record was its best in 15 years.

Volleyball extends streak to six with 0-2 weekend

|

In its final two away matches of the 2014 season, the women’s volleyball team suffered back-to-back sweeps to the University of Pennsylvania, 25-22, 25-16, 25-21, and Princeton University, 25-18, 25-19, 28-26, to extend its losing streak to six. This has been a season of streaks for the Big Green (13-10, 4-8 Ivy), who raced out to a 11-2, 2-0 Ivy start before dropping eight of its last 10 contests, including a 1-6 record on the road.

Men’s hockey upsets Union, falls to RPI

|

When defending national champions Union College notched three unanswered goals against the Big Green on Friday, the team threw a challenge down on the ice. Union dared the green and white to show up, score a goal, defend itself. What the team did not know was the then-No. 8 Dutchmen (5-4-1, 0-3-1 ECAC) set the stage for an incredible four-goal comeback victory by the Big Green (1-1-1, 1-1-1 ECAC).

Women’s hockey outlasts St. Lawrence

|

The women’s hockey team moved to 4-0 with a 5-1 win over St. Lawrence University on Friday on neutral ice in Rochester, New York — a score that does not count toward the overall ECAC standings. Lindsey Allen ’16 and captain Karlee Odland ’15 were the offensive stars for the Big Green, notching three and two points in the win.

I sat down with women’s soccer goalie Tatiana Saunders ’15 before the team’s season finale against Cornell University, which it lost 1-0. Saunders, reigning Ivy League women’s soccer player of the week, has had a strong season, allowing 11 goals in 15 games and notching seven shutouts.

Football looks to bounce back from disappointing Ivy loss

|

Coming off a 23-12 loss to undefeated Harvard University, the Dartmouth football team heads off on its own journey to upstate New York this weekend, looking to get back into the win column against Cornell University. And inside the Big Green locker room, the mantra seems to be the same: We’re on to Ithaca.

Any Given Thursday

|

The Pawtucket PawSox, Providence Bruins, Maine Red Claws. What do those teams mean to you? Probably not much. These development teams, however, provide the building blocks for three of the four major sports we enjoy today. Coming out of college, many players are not yet ready to jump into the highest level of their respective sport. They therefore go through a grooming process, obtaining professional experience and working with professional coaches to refine their skills until they are ready to make the final jump to the top tier of their sport. By now, you might be wondering: if these development leagues are so important, why doesn’t professional football — America’s most popular sport by far — have one?

The field hockey team was officially eliminated from Ivy League title contention this weekend after a 3-1 loss to Harvard University on Saturday. The team (5-11, 3-3 Ivy) also fell to the University of New Hampshire on Sunday for its fourth straight loss. The season has been full of streaks — the team started out 0-5 before winning three in a row, and traded two-game winning and losing streaks before dropping the last four.

Men’s hockey skates to 3-3 tie with Harvard

Football falls 23-12 to Harvard at home

It was billed as Dartmouth’s biggest game since the two met as undefeated teams in 1997. The game unfolded differently from the 24-0 contest 17 years prior, but ended in the same result: a Crimson victory. Dartmouth (5-2, 3-1 Ivy) fell short of achieving its first undefeated Ivy League season since 1996, and Harvard (7-0, 4-0 Ivy) managed to parry another challenge from the developing Big Green squad, 23-12.
