One on One with Alex Mitola

This week, The Dartmouth chatted with Alex Mitola ’16, a standout point guard on the men’s basketball team. Recently named as a captain for the 2014-15 season alongside Gabas Maldunas ’15, the sharp-shooter, honored as team MVP for his performance last season, opened up about leadership, his goals for the summer and his desire to win an Ivy League championship.

Riding the Pine

Just as Andy Dufresne in “The Shawshank Redemption” climbed through a river of sewage and came out clean on the other side, so too have we, Hank and Fish, emerged from the dimly lit, figurative basement of The Dartmouth, Dartbeat, to its crown jewel, the sports section’s back page.

The D Sports Awards: Best Moment

|

This year provided countless highlights for the Big Green. Dartmouth was also lucky enough to play host to many of these memorable moments in front of a rowdy home crowd. This spring, we started a new tradition, The D Sports Awards, that have honored Nejc Zupan ’14 as the best male athlete, Kristen Giovanniello ’14 as the best female athlete and Patrick Caldwell ’17 as the best freshman. This week, our fourth and final installment in the series looks at the best moments, competitions and games in Hanover this past year.

Rec League Legends

Well, loyal readers, the day has finally come — our last article and the end of the saga of the 2013-14 Rec League Legends. This season, we tried our best and experienced a few victories (we are not going to quantify exactly how many because the details are irrelevant). Most importantly, we had a lot of great times and some unforgettable experiences with some of Dartmouth’s best athletes.

Inside the Locker Room

|

Now that the Celebration of Excellence is behind us and most of the spring sports have started their off-season training, I’ve realized that this is the end of many Dartmouth athletes’ careers in sports. These seniors have trained for thousands of hours, taken countless bus rides and airplane trips, eaten an ungodly amount of peanut butter sandwiches and experienced a blur of locker room memories in just four years at the College. I can almost guarantee that if you asked any athlete in the Class of 2014 about the day they officially found out that they would represent the Big Green, they could recount the rush of feelings as if it were yesterday.

A View from the Woods

|

I’ve enjoyed being able to share my stories and thoughts through my column this spring — perhaps more so than the editors who quickly became aware of my chronic procrastination. In my mind, Dartmouth athletics have a permanence thatcomforts student-athletes and fans alike. Part of this permanence is the longstanding history of Big Green sports. Football at Dartmouth dates back to 1876. Women’s sports are a more recent development, but several teams have seen remarkable success. This results in generations of alumni who care deeply about their sports and about Dartmouth.

Softball, baseball earn All-Ivy honors

The baseball and softball teams were two of the Big Green’s most successful teams this season. The softball team won its first League title in program history, then advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time. The baseball team ended its season with an 8-0 run to place in the Ivy League Championship Series for the eighth year in a row, where the team fell to Columbia University. The rest of the Ancient Eight took note. Four members of the softball team and eight members of the baseball team nabbed All-Ivy honors.
