Pulse of the Sports World

By Dan Bornstein | May 22, 2014

There have been times in my four years at Dartmouth when I’ve envied my friends at powerhouse athletic schools. For them, Saturday football was a ritual. Everybody, regardless of their knowledge of sports, would get swept up in the fervor of college football and attend the game together. Each winter, they watched their school face off in long-established college rivalries, and then follow the team through the NCAA Tournament.

Heavyweight crew takes on Eastern Sprints

By Jehanna Axelrod | May 19, 2014

The Dartmouth men’s heavyweight crew team traveled to Worcester, Massachusetts, last weekend for the Eastern Sprints Regatta, where the Big Green finished 14th overall out of the pool of 18 crews for the Rowe Cup. First varsity eight took 12th place, while the second, third and fourth varsity eights all came in ninth in their divisions.

Inside the Locker Room

By Sarah Caughey | May 19, 2014

As an athlete, one of the key factors that determines a game experience is the crowd that is there watching. With a season of very few home matches and a lot of traveling, home court advantage was not something the squash team experienced frequently this year. While memories of our rowdy home matches are some of my most treasured, much of our season is played far from Hanover, away from the cheering excitement of the Dartmouth faithful.

Softball falls to Western powerhouses at NCAAs

By Josh Schiefelbein | May 18, 2014

With a runner on first and no outs in the inning, San Diego State sophomore Leia Ruiz sent the 1-2 pitch by Ashley Sissel ’17 deep to center field. Megan Averitt ’15 chased back, but the ball sailed just out of the reach of her glove as the junior crashed into the wall. The ball caromed off the fence towards right fielder Brianna Lohmann ’16. Lohmann tried to replicate her fifth-inning heroics as she came up firing to try to catch sophomore Monica Downey out at the plate, but Downey slid in just under the tag by catcher Alex St. Romain ’14 for the run that ended the Big Green’s season.

Rec League Legends

Loyal readers, our tenure as the Rec League Legends is coming to an end. I know, you are sad. We are sad. The only people who probably aren’t sad are the competitors who look good at our expense and the editors who put up with our shenanigans. We have left you with a lot of questions, but the one that we would truly like to address in this column is probably the most important: what’s next in the careers of the Rec League Legends?

Softball heads to NCAA Tournament

By Josh Schiefelbein | May 15, 2014

For its inaugural appearance in the NCAA softball tournament, Dartmouth (31-17, 18-2) travels to Arizona to compete in the Tempe Regional tournament hosted by No. 4 Arizona State University. The Sun Devils (44-10-1) drew the No. 9 overall seed in the tournament. The University of Michigan and San Diego State University round out the regional competition. The four teams will compete in a double-elimination tournament to advance to the Super Regional round, hosted on the campus of the highest-ranked team to advance from each regional.

A View from the Woods

By Kelly Wood | May 15, 2014

I vividly remember watching the women’s basketball team host then-No. 3 Duke University in the 2006 Blue Sky Classic. The heat and noise in sold-out Leede Arena was electric. The gym was alive, and cheers continued throughout the game despite the Big Green’s blowout 77-40 loss.\n When the men’s ice hockey team packs Thompson Arena for its annual home game against Princeton University, students turn out in droves to be part of our favorite tennis ball tradition.\n As NARPs, this is a way we can have a real influence on athletics. Athletes agree that they have more energy when they can feel the support of the crowd, and often play better because of it.

Whitehorn ’16 wins Heps titles across range of disciplines

By Jordan Einhorn | May 14, 2014

At the Ivy League outdoor Heptagonal Championships at Yale University last weekend, Kaitlin Whitehorn ’16 was everywhere. Running back and forth between the track and the high jump, she competed six times over the course of the weekend. After competing in the 100- and 200-meter preliminaries Saturday, she woke up Sunday with four events ahead of her: the 100- and 200-meter finals, the 4x100-meter relay and the high jump.

Club cricket team continues two-century Dartmouth tradition

By Mitch Huang | May 14, 2014

Dartmouth’s roots in American cricket tradition extend back to the late 1700s, when one of the earliest recorded games of cricket in the U.S. was believed to be played on the Green. Since then, faculty and students have routinely gathered for casual matches, forming an informal group in the 1990s. In the past couple of years, the Dartmouth College Cricket Club has enjoyed a considerable amount of growth and recognition.

Softball heads west for NCAA tourney

Sunday evening while watching ESPNU, the Big Green softball team learned that it would head to Tempe, Arizona, to play No. 9 Arizona State University in its first-ever NCAA tournament appearance. The winner of the game will play the winner of San Diego State University versus the University of Michigan while the losers will meet in the double-elimination tournament.

Inside the Locker Room

By Phoebe Hoffmann | May 12, 2014

Hanover is finally heating up as spring is winding down. The seniors are enjoying their last weeks on the Green, juniors are reminiscing about the glory days of 13X and freshmen are dreading leaving the place they’ve just learned to call home. There is one lucky class, however, that anticipates the arrival of one of Dartmouth’s best traditions: sophomore summer. From swimming and sunbathing to the occasional class (just kidding, go to class!) or road trip, it’s a different campus atmosphere than anything most of these sophomores have experienced thus far.

Women’s track and field second at outdoor Heps, men take fifth

By Jordan Einhorn | May 11, 2014

Just 13 points separated the Dartmouth women’s track and field team from the Ivy League title at the outdoor Ivy League Heptagonal Championships at Yale University this weekend. The meet was not decided until the women’s 4x400-meter relay, the final track event of the day, finished. The men’s team improved on its sixth-place finish at the indoor championships, finishing in fifth place.
