Baseball falls to Columbia in Ivy League Championship Series

|

New York -— Despite scoring first in both games, the baseball team ended its season in New York this weekend exactly as it did last year, falling to Columbia University in the best of three Ivy Championship Series. The Lions (27-17, 15-5 Ivy) took the Big Green (18-21, 11-9 Ivy) 6-2 in game one and 4-1 in game two of a Saturday doubleheader. The loss on enemy turf represents the fourth in a row for the team, leaving the four seniors — Louis Concato ’14, co-captain Jeff Keller ’14, co-captain Dustin Selzer ’14 and Ryan Toimil ’14 — without the gratification of a League title in their careers.

Rec League Legends

Hanover, it looks like you finally got it right. It’s spring outside after what feels like the longest tease since the Sox won a title and the Curse of the Bambino was finally lifted from Fenway (hey Freddie). Spring weather means one thing and one thing only: intramural softball. Though we obviously discussed squaring off against the softball team, we realized that they were probably up against other (obviously not more important) opponents after winning that whole Ivy League Championship thing for the first time in Dartmouth history. That, and we wanted nothing to do with Morgan McCalmon ’16 and her heater.

This week, I sat down with Edward Wagner ’16, a star hurdler and sprinter on the men’s track and field team. At Yale University for the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships, Wagner made time to talk about his favorite events, ideal track conditions and the added pressure he felt this year as a returning medalist from last year’s Heps.

Pulse of the Sports World

This weekend the baseball team will play in its seventh consecutive Ivy League championship. Yet the team’s longstanding success has hardly captured the same attention as, say, the football team’s third-place finish this past fall. That’s rather jarring, considering how deeply baseball is ingrained in American sports culture, snd shows the large gap in popularity between professional and collegiate baseball.

Track teams set to compete at Heps

After the women finished second and the men finished sixth at the indoor Heptagonal Championships this winter, the track and field teams look to a strong finish at this weekend’s outdoor Heptagonal Championships, hosted by Yale University.

Baseball heads to Ivy Champ. Series

|

Dartmouth and Columbia University emerged from the carnage of an all-out battle for the Red Rolfe and Lou Gehrig Division titles last weekend, ending one of the most dramatic regular seasons Ivy League baseball has seen in years. Both teams rallied from second place deficits forged in early season play to come back and take their divisions in one-game playoffs against surprise Division competitors, Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania. This sets up a rematch of last year’s series, which the Lions won.

The D Sports Awards: Best Male Athlete

|

This year saw major achievements for the Big Green across the athletic spectrum: three Ivy League titles already — women’s cross country, equestrian and softball — and baseball is playing in the Ivy League Championship Series this weekend along with the track and field teams heading to outdoor Ivy League Heptagonal Championships. Here at The Dartmouth, we wanted to commemorate the achievements of Dartmouth athletes and teams this past year, which is why we’re introducing the first annual D Sports Awards.

Equestrian rides to 10th at Nationals

The equestrian team concluded its most successful season by taking 10th place out of 16 schools at the IHSA Nationals competition last week in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. This season, the Big Green won both its regional and Zone competitions to qualify for the national horse show for the first time in program history.

Inside the Locker Room

Although most people picture Dartmouth athletes constantly decked out in uniform, game ready and prepped to crush a fellow Ivy in league play, the reality of life as an athlete is honestly more determined by “off” seasons than “on” seasons. Competition generally only spans one term, but off-season training is all-encompassing and year-round.

Baseball team wins one-game playoff for Rolfe Division crown

|

In the rain and against the odds, the Dartmouth baseball team brought home its seventh straight Red Rolfe Division title by crushing the Yale University Bulldogs 11-4 in a one-game playoff Sunday afternoon at Biondi Park. The team, rising from the hole it dug itself by opening the season with a 5-9 Ivy League record, ended on an eight-game winning streak, which it will take to Columbia University (25-17, 15-5 Ivy) next weekend for the Ivy League Championship Series.

Defense strong in Green-White football scrimmage

The football team closed its 12 spring practices with the Green-White scrimmage on Saturday at Memorial Field. An opportunity to evaluate the team’s readiness for the upcoming fall season, the low-scoring game displayed the strength of the team’s defense.

Rec League Legends

This week the Legends were ready to take on the men’s lacrosse team, a competition that I had been trash talking the entire year. Lacrosse is the only sport I ever played competitively, and I looked forward to matching up against the Big Green’s best. I was also looking forward to seeing Austin get out on the lacrosse field and seeing what he would do with a six foot pole in his hands.

I sat down with Kelsey Miller ’16, the starting third baseman for the softball team, to chat before the team’s big weekend. Miller helped keep the team’s hopes alive with a walk-off home run against Harvard University on April 27 in game two of the home doubleheader. In this weekend’s Ivy League Championship Series she scored two runs in the Big Green’s 2-1 series win over the University of Pennsylvania.
