By Jehanna Axelrod | September 17, 2014

When Sofia Roman ’16 started playing basketball in the third grade, she just wanted to be good enough to compete with her older sister.

Just this past June, Roman traveled to Manila to try out for Discovery Perlas Philippine Women’s Basketball team, where, after 10 days of training, she was told she made the national squad.

The women’s soccer team is gearing up to hold down its home fort this weekend against the Northeastern University Huskies. A win or tie this Friday would extend Dartmouth’s undefeated streak on Burnham to 15 games, dating back to Oct. 1, 2012 when the Big Green lost to then No. 20 Pepperdine University 1-0 in double overtime.

By Blaze Joel | September 16, 2014

n late August, while most of her peers were in the library preparing for finals, Laura Stacey ’16 packed her bags for Calgary, ready to undergo another sort of test.

Though Stacey was on the team when it won gold at the 2013 Meco Cup in Füssen, Germany, she said she was nervous entering the locker room as she waited for the verdict.

By Hayden Aldredge | September 15, 2014

The men’s tennis team heads to Princeton University and the women to the College of William and Mary this Friday following strong 2013-14 seasons, defined by last-second victories, crushing defeats and unprecedented success.

Last season, the men’s team placed as high as 33rd in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings, the highest ever in program history. Its 5-2 Ivy League record marked its best performance in league play in more than 15 years, and its 18 victories set a program record.

By Katie Jarrett | September 14, 2014

This week, I sat down with Kendall Kraus ’15, the co-captain of the women’s soccer team, before the team’s Sunday’s win against St. John’s University. So far this season, the Big Green is 1-2-1, with losses to No. 14 University of Portland and to the University of Washington. A 0-0 tie against Albany University last week and a 2-0 win over St. John’s University on Sunday extended the team’s unbeaten streak at Burnham Field to an impressive 14 games over the last three seasons. So far this season, Kraus has not registered a point, but has three shots on net.

The men’s and women’s cross country teams entered this season without some familiar faces — stars Abbey D’Agostino ’14 and Will Geoghegan ’14 graduated in June, and women’s head coach Mark Coogan left the team for New Balance.

Brown University came in second with 51 points. The men finished with 21 points, well ahead of Brown’s 46. The wins were the first for both teams at the Dartmouth Invitational since 2011.
