The team finished with 105 points, three points ahead of Boston University, but 36 short of the Blue Hens’ 141.

More Than a Game

By Maddie Garcia and Abby Cohen | March 3, 2014

With spring break just around the corner, we know everyone’s thinking about that new bikini they ordered for Punta Cana and finally having time to catch up on “House of Cards.” But spring break also brings the start of March Madness. With Selection Sunday fewer than two weeks away, it’s time to make predictions, pick who will be this year’s Cinderella team and decide who’s the most trustworthy one in the friend group to organize the bracket pool.

Rec League Legends

We’ve reached the end of the term, and we all know what that means: championship season. For all of us athletes (yes, the Rec League Legends qualify, even if we don’t get a PE credit), now is the time when winter season really matters. Put all of that other stuff behind you. Focus on winning the championship — at the end of the day, that’s all that matters. Right, Lebron?

The women’s ice hockey team had its playoff season cut short after dropping the first round best-of-three series to No. 3 Clarkson University this past weekend. The Big Green (9-20-1, 8-13-1 ECAC) lost to the Golden Knights (27-4-5, 16-2-4 ECAC) 2-0 both Friday and Saturday afternoon. In each game, the offense failed to mobilize, managing only 31 shots on the weekend to 70 by the Golden Knights.

Men’s basketball goes 1-1 for weekend

By Jasper Bingham | March 2, 2014

When the crowd rose to its feet in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s senior night game against Cornell University, filling Leede Arena with applause, it was not because of an and-one, a three-pointer or a powerful dunk. Tyler Melville ’14, the team’s captain and its only senior, checked out for the last time in front of loyal Hanover fans. Cheers echoed through the building as Melville slowly walked down the row of chairs to his seat, receiving hugs from each member of the coaching staff and the players on the bench.

More than a Game

By Maddie Garcia and Abby Cohen | February 24, 2014

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, costing a steep $7.99 for a printed copy, sells over a million copies at newsstands each year. This is more than 10 times what a traditional weekly edition of Sports Illustrated sells — the kind that actually features athletes, statistics and sports news. What started as a five-page insert 50 years ago has since made Time Inc. over $1 billion in revenue. This year’s copy was released on Feb. 18.

Big Green Takes Off on Off-Term Adventures

By Alex Carr | February 23, 2014

At 7 a.m. most mornings in the fall, varsity track and field distance runner Jill Corcoran ’15 woke up and went for a run. But instead of taking her through Pine Park or down Rip Road, her daily jaunts brought her past Big Ben and the Tower Bridge.

Rec League Legends

By Austin Major and Freddie Fletcher | February 23, 2014

As the Sochi Olympics come to a close and semi-obscure events like bobsled drift back into irrelevance (though no one can forget “Cool Runnings” (1993)), we decided to break the one rule we set for the winter. That’s right, faithful readers. Those of you who follow us religiously, which is probably all of you, will recall that we solemnly swore never to Nordic ski. It’s physically taxing, cold and isolating, and we don’t look great in skin-tight apparel (just kidding).

One on One

By Macy Ferguson | February 23, 2014

This week, I sat down with women’s hockey forward Lindsey Allen ’16, who leads the team in goals and points, which she attributes due to a shortened bench and small group of upperclassmen. We talked about her love for the sport and what it means for the Toronto native to be a leader on the team.
