One-on-One

This week, I sat down with softball pitcher Kristen Rumley ’15, who has 11 wins on the year for the 18-13 Big Green. The Texas native leads the Ancient Eight in wins, strikeouts and saves. Rumley has 128 strikeouts in the early season, 51 clear of University of Pennsylvania junior Alexis Borden. After two two-game sweeps this weekend, the Big Green leads the Ivy League at 8-0. Last week, Rumley was awarded her second Ivy League Pitcher of the Week award of the season.

The student-athlete question

|

On March 26, as Dartmouth students trudged through lingering piles of snow on the third day of spring classes, student-athletes across the country had more than just the distant promise of better weather to celebrate. In Chicago, a regional director for the National Labor Relations Board ruled that football players at Northwestern University could be considered employees of the institution, giving them the right to unionize and bargain collectively — a landmark ruling for the college athletes’ rights movement.

A View from the Woods

|

Growing up, I always knew Dartmouth was a good school. My image was not characterized by the world-renowned faculty, unparalleled study abroad opportunities or alumni. I knew Dartmouth because of sports. I’m from Etna, 15 minutes east of campus — a townie, some would say. As the daughter of a sports reporter who covered the Big Green, I went to a lot of games. I mean, a lot of games. Now a senior and former Dartmouth athlete, I find myself reflecting on what it was like to grow up in the shadow of the College on the Hill.

Track team hits road for Sam Howell

|

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.

Rec League Legends

|

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.

Zupan breaks into top 20 at swim NCAAs

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.

Last-minute Calby goal secures women’s lacrosse win

|

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.

Pulse of the Sports World

|

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.
