1-on-1

By Katie Jarrett | March 23, 2014

This week, I sat down with Nick Ruppert ’16 of the baseball team. Nick missed almost all of last season with a broken hand, but has returned strong and has earned the starting job in center field for the Big Green. The team posted a 2-7 record during its nine-game road trip over spring break. It played tough opponents in the Midwest, facing off against the No. 27 Texas Christian University Horned Frogs, the University of Nebraska at Omaha Mavericks and the No. 18 University of Kansas Jayhawks, as of the latest College Baseball poll.

Rec League Legends

By Austin Major and Freddie Fletcher | March 23, 2014

For varsity athletes, spring break means one thing: training trips. Since we are looking to beat varsity athletes, Austin and I figured we should go on training trips of our own. With teammwork taken care of, we struck out on our own paths to prepare physically, mentally and, most importantly, emotionally for the upcoming spring (which won’t likely arrive until Derby or Green Key, unless College President Phil Hanlon sold his soul for a sunny Dimensions weekend).

Postgrad Puck

By Sasha Nanji | March 6, 2014

Transitioning from the Toronto Furies to the Brampton Thunder was not easy. I was joining a new team with new coaches and players who had already played together for a good part of the season. I was once again a new player fighting for a spot on the team that already had six defenders. Although the team welcomed me with open arms, there was naturally some tension.

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?

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.
