Hockey returns home for final time

|

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

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.

After a long weekend of passionate competition at the Boss Tennis Center, the men’s tennis team came in third in the annual ECAC Indoor Championship. The four-day stretch of matches ended successfully for the No. 3 seeded Dartmouth (9-2) which improved on its 8th place finish from last year.

D’Agostino sets Dartmouth record

|

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. Racing at the Millrose Games in New York on Saturday, she came in fourth, behind professional athletes, and broke the record she set last season by three and a half seconds.

More than a Game

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.

Rec League Legends

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.

This week, I sat down with Janae Dunchack ’14, a multi-event athlete on the women’s track and field team. Dunchack has been a dominant force for the team and is the three-time defending Ivy League champion in the pentathlon at the Ivy League Heptagonal Indoor Track and Field Championships. 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.

Women’s hockey comes up short at home

The women’s hockey team ended its home season on a sour note, falling to St. Lawrence University on Friday night 4-1 and No. 5 Clarkson University 6-1 on Saturday night. Despite the disappointing finishes, the women remain in the running for the playoffs and in ninth place in the ECAC, thanks to Colgate University and No. 3 Cornell University’s wins over eighth-place Rensselaer Polytechnic Insitute.

Men's hockey pulls shocking upset sweep on road

|

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

|

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.

Hughes ’15 is latest rugby player to join US squad

|

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.
