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).

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.

Women’s swimming and diving finishes eighth in Ivy Champs

By Gayne Kalustian | February 23, 2014

Providence dealt a heavy blow to the women’s swim and dive team this weekend, as the Big Green came in eighth place in the Ivy League Championships at Brown University. The team had high hopes of improving on last year’s fifth-place performance, but the seniors were forced to hang up their fast suits and swim caps with a disappointing finish at the bottom of the scoreboard. The team scored 535 points, 874 points behind first place Harvard University.

Hockey returns home for final time

By Josh Schiefelbein | February 20, 2014

In what will likely be an emotional weekend, the men’s hockey team returns to Hanover for its final two regular season home games, the final home games for the four seniors on the team. Friday night, Dartmouth will take on Brown University before squaring off against defending national champion No. 14 Yale University Saturday. After this weekend, the Big Green (6-16-3, 5-12-1 ECAC) will hit the road for a testing final set of games against No. 13 Cornell University and No. 19 Colgate University. While every ECAC men’s team makes the postseason, the next few games will decide seeding and opponents.

Postgrad Puck

By Sasha Nanji | February 20, 2014

I decided to continue playing hockey after college because I love the game. I couldn’t let it go. Playing for Toronto, I had fun and I loved my teammates, but after I had to sit out for a few games for what I felt were political reasons, I decided to make a change and switch teams.

With a time of 8:51.91, Abbey D’Agostino ’14 set a Dartmouth record in the 3,000-meter race this weekend, coming away with the fastest time in the nation this year and the fourth-fastest indoor time ever run by a female collegiate athlete.

More than a Game

By Maddie Garcia and Abby Cohen | February 17, 2014

Olympic recaps feature the latest controversial finish or result almost every day. Athletic competitions are always contentious — that’s just the nature of sports — but on such a grand stage, a minor glitch can easily become an international debacle. In Sochi, these controversies have ranged from humorous to crucial to the competition itself.

Faithful readers, this week has been trying for us and for our sleep schedules. Between the U.S. winning the “Ice Cold War” in front of Vladimir Putin, Dartmouth athletes absolutely killing it Sochi and contemplating blitzing Sophie Caldwell ’12 to ask if she wants to grab a FoCo meal some time, we have not had time to think about much else.

Dunchack hopes to sweep the event for her college career with a win at Leverone Field House on March 1 and 2. She came to Hanover as a high jumper but switched to multi-events her freshman year.
