By Gayne Kalustian | April 13, 2014

With the fate of the season on the line, the Big Green baseball team stepped into Biondi Park for back-to-back doubleheaders this weekend against Red Rolfe Division leader Yale University (13-18, 6-6 Ivy), settling for a 3-1 split. The weekend series made one thing clear: the Big Green offense has broken free from its early season frustration and is looking for blood.

Crew and equestrian teams thrive with cadre of walk-on athletes

By Jehanna Axelrod | April 13, 2014

While many of Dartmouth’s almost 1,000 varsity student athletes were recruited to join their teams, a small percentage of those who represent the Big Green on the field, court, rink and water chose to join their respective teams after they arrive on campus. Walking onto a Division I varsity team is no easy task, and each team treats potential members a little differently.

Pulse of the Sports World

By Daniel Bornstein | April 10, 2014

Since the National Labor Relations Board’s decision that Northwestern University’s football players are employees of the college and have the right to form a labor union, advocacy for collegiate student athletes has gained momentum. Many demands that are central to this movement appear to have little relevance to the scholarship-free Ivy League: compensation for players, scholarships that cover the full cost of tuition, funding for continued education and guaranteed retention of scholarships for athletes whose careers are ended due to injury. After all, treatment of student-athletes is on the national agenda largely because of the revenue-generating capacities of certain sports; the thinking has been that institutions gaining millions of dollars in lucrative television deals are obligated to the students whose performance enables such revenue.

Inside the Locker Room

My first piece of gear was a tank top designed by the team captain with “Dartmouth Squash” written on the front and “Caughey” written across the back. I was obsessed with it. As a walk-on, I was nervous about becoming part of the team, but with the tank I felt like I was officially a member.

Rec League Legends

It looks like spring has finally sprung here in Hanover. With warmer temperatures come two things: shorts and huge Dartmouth athletics home weekends. This past Saturday was one of those epic days where you can roll out of bed and go to games until you’re ready to get back into it. (Okay, we understand the first game was at noon, but lets be real, that’s when you roll out of bed, right?) These are the days Austin and I live for, right behind the day of the Granite League softball championship game and the final round of Masters.
