Coming off an indoor season where six track and field athletes earned All-American honors, records were shattered, one runner eclipsed the sub-four minute mile barrier and one woman became the first female runner to win both the 3,000 and 5,000-meter run in back-to-back indoor championship meets, expectations are high for the outdoor season.
Despite posting 12 hits, the baseball team fell to visiting Quinnipiac University 11-5 in its home opener Wednesday, the first day the Big Green has been able to play on its field all season.

No matter who you are, it’s hard to deny that our campus is brimming with active people — we have everyone from varsity athletes to just-learned-to-skate intramural hockey player coaches.
This week I sat down to talk to the women’s lacrosse team’s four-year starting goalie Kristen Giovanniello ’14 to talk about her consistent play, the trials of being a goalie and her plans after Dartmouth.
Loyal readers, this is the season you have all been waiting for. The sun will come out. The tennis courts will be back in action. The golf course will open. Intramural softball will be played and taken way too seriously by a select few (ourselves included). More importantly, loyal readers, this is our last term in our post as the Rec League Legends. To all those major newspaper syndicates out there, we will be free agents and looking to cash in on our talents Lebron-style.
The men’s lacrosse team lost to Ivy League foe No. 2 Cornell University this Saturday in its 2014 home opener 19-4. The win kept Cornell’s (9-0, 3-0 Ivy) season-opening winning streak alive and dropped the Big Green to 1-5, 0-2 Ivy on the season.
Austin, Texas — When co-captain Nejc Zupan ’14 sported green and white for the last time at the NCAA swim and dive championships this weekend in Austin, he went up against enormous packs of vicious Wildcats, jaw-snapping Gators, snarling Wolverines and the overwhelming hosting sea of burnt orange.
With under 30 seconds left to play in a game tied at 9-9, captain Liz Calby ’14 cradled the ball behind the net. She glanced at the clock and dished the ball to Jaclyn Leto ’16, who drove toward the middle and spun back, drawing the double team. Calby snuck around the crease and called for the ball. Leto found her. The senior faked the over-the-shoulder shot and pivoted, stashing the ball in the top corner with just 14 seconds left to win the game for the Big Green at Brown University on Saturday.

The six-time defending Red Rolfe Division champion baseball team starts Ivy League play this weekend. Co-captain Jeff Keller ’14 called the team feisty, competitive and relentless — in prime position to return to the Ivy Championship Series.
Since college basketball entered the national spotlight, it has been marked by class warfare. The most well-regarded programs receive lucrative television and equipment deals, while most produce little revenue. Schools like University of Kentucky and the University of North Carolina have an essentially unlimited recruiting budget.
After leading by three into halftime, the women’s lacrosse team fell to the potent offense of the University of Vermont 12-10 on Wednesday afternoon in Burlington. The Catamounts (9-2) ended the game on a five-goal run to seal the victory.
The men’s lacrosse team returns to Hanover for its home opener against No. 2 Cornell University this Saturday at Scully-Fahey Field. Last season, the Big Green fell 21-5 to the Big Red in Ithaca. In its first Ivy League game, the Big Green (1-4, 0-1 Ivy) fell to Harvard University 16-7, largely thanks to a 7-1 second quarter for the Crimson.
The men’s tennis team traveled to Virginia over spring break, where it went 2-1 against three nonconference opponents. Dartmouth picked up convincing victories against The College of William and Mary and Old Dominion University. The Big Green, which entered the trip ranked 34 in the country suffered a painful loss against No. 36 Virginia Commonwealth University.
Every time she steps up to the plate, Karen Chaw ’17 performs the same small routine. “Measure out the plate, twirl my bat a little, swing and hope I hit,” she said. Chaw said she puts on “a game face” to hide any worries from the pitcher, and focuses intently on hitting the ball. Whatever it is, it seems to be working. As one of just two players to start all 23 games this season, Chaw is tied for the lead in home runs and is the outright leader in RBI.
