Pulse of the Sports World

By Dan Bornstein | January 9, 2014

Conference play opened in the Big East this past week, but the group that had long stood out as the nation’s premiere college basketball league has crumbled as part of the money-driven, corporate-minded shift in college athletics. The conference’s vaunted history and rivalry match-ups have all but disappeared as a consequence of the reshuffling. Schools’ zealous quest for higher-paying television contracts seems to have undermined their interest in being part of a conference once considered the mecca of college hoops. Realignment will bring an end to a long-celebrated basketball tradition.

The Dartmouth Relays will attract high school, college and post-collegiate athletes.

Men’s basketball stifled offensively by visiting Hartford

By Jasper Bingham | January 7, 2014

When the University of Hartford men’s basketball team was up off the bench, towels waving and coaches cheering, no one would have guessed it would be for the team’s reserve guard Taylor Dyson. The Australian freshman didn’t show up on any scouting reports, but his performance Tuesday night was crucial as Hartford topped Dartmouth 68-56 at Leede Arena.

Squash teams pick up wins over break

By Jordan Einhorn | January 6, 2014

The Dartmouth men’s and women’s squash teams each won one match over winter break, with the men defeating No. 14 U.S. Naval Academy and the women taking down No. 10 Franklin & Marshall College. A 1-2 interim allowed the men to hold onto their No. 10 ranking while a 1-1 break kept the women at No. 8 in the nation.

More than a Game

By Maddie Garcia and Abby Cohen | January 6, 2014

Varsity athletes seem to get a lot of perks: free TruMoo, private yoga classes and a wardrobe of Nike or New Balance gear. But when non-athletes return to campus refreshed after the lengthy interim, they contrast sharply with varsity players, many of whom spent the break practicing and playing with their teams. Athletes have little flexibility to travel, get internships or spend time with family at home.

Postcard from Puerto Rico

By Jehanna Axelrod | January 5, 2014

Before sunrise on Dec. 9, Big Green swimmers and divers set off on a training trip to Puerto Rico, only a few hours after they finished competing in the Big Al Open hosted by Princeton University. The 10-day trip pushed athletes to work hard but allowed them to enjoy each other’s company in the sun — a bonding experience unlike any campus training.

One-on-One with John Golden '15

By Katie Jarrett | January 5, 2014

This week, I sat down with forward John Golden ’15 of the men’s basketball team — which went 5-4 over the break — to talk about the team’s success during the interim and what it’s like to be an athlete at the College. The team’s break included trips to Indiana and Illinois, as well as a four game win streak that helped keep them above .500 and propel them to the fourth-best record in the Ivy League entering play in the Ancient Eight.

By Austin Major and Freddie Fletcher | January 5, 2014

Loyal readers, welcome back to the greatest show on earth. It’s a new term and for many of you, that probably means a new, fresh start. You probably vowed to really change things around this term, probably because mom and dad saw your grades and were a little disappointed because they “pay enough for a nice house or an entire city block in Detroit” for you to go here. We get it.
