Men's hockey pulls shocking upset sweep on road

By Josh Schiefelbein | February 16, 2014

After a long and painful start to the season, the men’s hockey team is finally starting to get healthy enough to mount a playoff run. For the first time all season, Dartmouth swept a two-game weekend slate. Dartmouth rebounded from its uneven performance a week ago, which left them with a 3-0 loss at Harvard University, by overwhelming St. Lawrence University and No. 14 Clarkson University, avenging tough early-season losses to both teams.

Pulse of the Sports World

By Dan Bornstein | February 13, 2014

With the Olympic Games comes a celebration of the world-class talent of individual athletes. There’s something about the Olympics that is inherently different from our dominant American sports culture: it’s rare that we appreciate individual sports rather than the team sports associated with large stadiums and die-hard fans. For a nationwide sports fan base so committed to particular teams — some, like the Cleveland Browns’ Dawg Pound, in fanatical way — it’s quite jarring to witness the sudden shift to admiring individual athletes. We should use the Sochi Games as an opportunity to reflect on why individual sports have been pushed so far to the periphery in our collective sports consciousness and how better appreciating them would do justice to athletes at the college level.

The women’s hockey team plays its last two home games of the year this weekend, facing St. Lawrence University on Friday and No. 5 Clarkson University on Saturday.

Hughes ’15 is latest rugby player to join US squad

By Gayne Kalustian | February 12, 2014

The men’s Dartmouth rugby football club is no stranger to American sports bias. While rugby is a favorite across the globe, it has yet to gain widespread popularity in the U.S. Despite the long haul out to the rugby club house at Brophy Field and the sport’s lack of NCAA recognition, the DRFC has proven year after year that it is one of the nation’s best teams. This year, the team sent its fifth player, captain Madison Hughes ’15, to the Wellington Sevens with the U.S. National team.

More than a Game

By Maddie Garcia and Abby Cohen | February 10, 2014

When live competition ends before 11s, following the Sochi Olympics is easier said than done. The nine-hour time difference between the games and Hanover means that there is little live action for students to watch. U.S. news networks knew this was going to be a problem for stateside viewers, and NBC Sports, in response, is broadcasting Olympic coverage nearly all day. However, for Dartmouth students using DarTV, this option is not available because DarTV does not have access to the network.

By The Dartmouth | February 9, 2014

Tucker is remembered by his friends, teammates and classmates for his humility, adventurous spirit and constant smile. Below are a few thoughts from some of those who knew him best.

Fresh snow and blue skies welcomed Dartmouth’s only home carnival of the season last weekend. The Big Green came in second with 853 points to the University of Vermont, which stood ahead of the pack of 16 schools and scored 1,018 points across the eight alpine and Nordic events.

Rec League Legends

By Austin Major and Freddie Fletcher | February 9, 2014

Loyal, faithful readers, at the beginning of this term, we promised you victory at all costs. We promised to try harder, to work out more, to eat better and to live for our sports. Well, we all make stupid promises at the beginning of term, and as many of you know from the miniscule amount of work you did this weekend, sometimes those promises are hard to keep. We regret nothing. We had a great Carnival. No apologies.

Men’s basketball comes up short at home

By Jasper Bingham | February 9, 2014

The men’s basketball team suffered back-to-back home losses over Winter Carnival weekend, falling 67-54 to Yale University on Friday night and 75-62 to Brown University on Saturday. The Big Green is now 9-11 overall and 2-4 in the Ivy League. After an impressive weekend sweep of the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University, the weekend was a disappointment for the Big Green, which failed to overcome early setbacks and injuries in both contests.

Women’s hockey falls to No. 5 Harvard 4-1 at home

By Jehanna Axelrod | February 9, 2014

In a game that was far closer than the score indicated, the women’s hockey team fell to No. 5 Harvard University 4-1 at Thompson Arena on Friday. The Dartmouth women (7-16-1, 6-11-1 ECAC) were doomed by an 0-5 night on the power play and an inability to beat Harvard sophomore Emerance Maschmeyer despite outshooting the Crimson (18-3-3, 14-2-2 ECAC) for the second time this season.

By Jordan Einhorn | February 9, 2014

The men’s and women’s track and field teams broke two more school records this weekend at Boston University’s Valentine Invitational. For the first time this year, a sprinter set a new Dartmouth record as Kaitlin Whitehorn ’16 broke the Dartmouth record in the 60-meter dash with her time of 7.60 seconds, ahead of the 7.64 record set last season by Mollie Gribbin ’16, who transferred to the University of Nebraska this year. Will Geoghegan ’14 put his name on the record boards for the third time this season, this time in the 3,000-meter run. His time of 7:51.57 broke the 29-year-old record of 7:54.60 set by Jim Sapienza ’85. His time earned him second in the event, falling to Harvard University senior Maksim Korolev by .05 seconds.

Postgrad Puck

By Sasha Nanji | February 6, 2014

My team, the Toronto Furies, was gearing up for its first road trip of the season, a two-game slate against the Montreal Stars. Still battling to fit in as a rookie, I never know whether I’m going to dress. The coaches wait until after Wednesday night practices to send out the lineup for the upcoming weekend. Fortunately for me, I was told I would suit up, and boy was I excited to play, especially against my former teammate Camille Dumais ’13. Of course, I would need to adjust my game a bit, since I was accustomed to setting her up for goals. This time around, I would have to look for her in order to incapacitate her abilities to pull a fast one on me or my teammates. I was determined be the one with bragging rights.
