By Gayne Kalustian | February 2, 2014

The men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams competed in a close meet on Saturday at the University of Connecticut, both contests resting on the final event, the 400-yard freestyle relay. While the women secured a nail-biting 154-146 victory, the men were narrowly edged out by UConn 152.5-147.5.

Dartmouth beats Princeton 5-3

By Josh Schiefelbein | February 2, 2014

Just under six minutes into the first period of the men’s hockey game against Princeton University on Saturday, the sellout crowd at Thompson Arena erupted, raining down tennis balls and a lone fish onto the ice. The Big Green men, especially goal scorer Grant Opperman ’17, celebrated, batting the balls around the rink as the baseball team shuffled out onto the ice to collect the debris.

Track teams continue to set records

By Jordan Einhorn | February 2, 2014

Dartmouth runners broke a school record for the fourth time this season this weekend, this time in the men’s distance medley relay. Friday’s 9:37.33 time run by John Bleday ’14, Phil Gomez ’17, Steve Mangan ’14 and Will Geoghegan ’14 at the Pennsylvania State University narrowly eclipsed the old mark of 9:37.61, which was set in 2006.

Women’s hockey is swept but remains in eighth in ECAC

By Jehanna Axelrod | February 2, 2014

The women’s ice hockey team dropped games to both Quinnipiac University and Princeton University this weekend on the road. Despite the fact that the Big Green (7-15-1, 6-10-1 ECAC) lost to both teams earlier this season, players were confident coming into the weekend on a three-game win streak.

Finishing with an impressive combined time of 11:02.21, the fierce foursome earned themselves a spot in the NCAA Championships.

Men’s hockey faces tough weekend slate

By Josh Schiefelbein | January 30, 2014

This weekend, the men’s hockey team is set to face two very different teams. The Big Green will play No. 3 Quinnipiac University, the second-placed team in the ECAC, on Friday and will then host Princeton University, a team that has lost seven of its last eight games, Saturday night.

Pulse of the Sports World

By Dan Bornstein | January 30, 2014

The role of student-athletes in an increasingly business-oriented college sports world has been thrust back into the spotlight this week as Northwestern University quarterback Kain Colter, together with former University of California at Los Angeles football player Ramogi Huma, announced the establishment of the College Athletes Players Association. The group aims to give athletes a greater voice in NCAA policy, and would essentially function as a labor union. Among the demands on its agenda: prevention of brain injuries, scholarships that cover the full cost of tuition, funding for continued education and guaranteed retention of scholarships for athletes whose careers are ended due to injury.

Geoghegan ’14 sets Ivy, Dartmouth records with sub-four mile

By Alex Carr | January 29, 2014

Will Geoghegan ’14 did not consider running Division I track until his sophomore year of high school, when he quit baseball, his primary sport at the time, to start outdoor track. Last weekend, Geoghegan achieved the runner’s holy grail, running a sub-four-minute mile, suggesting that the switch was worth it.

By Josh Schiefelbein | January 28, 2014

As Billy Joel’s “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me” played over the speakers, John Gilmore ’17 took to the ice in Thompson Arena, displaying all the swagger of Joel’s 1980 hit, tossing his hat and throwing his tie over his shoulder.

More Than A Game

By Maddie Garcia and Abby Cohen | January 27, 2014

When the Big Green men’s hockey team takes on Princeton this weekend, Thompson Arena will be filled to capacity with students anxiously awaiting the first Dartmouth goal, prepared to unleash a tennis ball frenzy. For the past three years we have perfected the act of smuggling in seemingly innocuous fuzz-balls into the arena.

Rec League Legends

By Austin Major and Freddie Fletcher | January 26, 2014

This week Austin and I took the competition to our peers, and by peers, we mean fellow students who compete for intramural glory and can’t pass muster. We were excited for the reprieve from facing the grind of varsity athletes in their sports of choice, returning to the place from which we started our climb to becoming Rec League Legends. Recording some time in the Moosilauke League is also a great way to boost our community service stats.

One-on-One

By Lily Gordon | January 26, 2014

This week I sat down with Alex Mitola ’16, the starting point guard on the men’s basketball team, to discuss the team’s season so far. The team lost to Harvard University 50-80 yesterday at Leede Arena, dropping to 7-9, 0-2 Ivy this season. After a 7-4 start, the team has now lost five in a row as it heads into the teeth of its Ancient Eight schedule, preparing to host the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University next weekend.
