Remembering Torin

By The Dartmouth | February 9, 2014

Last Saturday, Dartmouth lost one of its own, as Nordic skier Torin Tucker ’15 collapsed and died while competing in the Craftsbury Marathon in Craftsbury, Vt. 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.

Geoghegan ’14 and Whitehorn ’16 set records

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.

More than a Game

People bet on all sorts of things when the Super Bowl comes around — the halftime score, the coin toss, the MVP and, of course, the victor — but probably only a handful of people predicted the outcome we saw on Sunday night at Super Bowl XLVIII.

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.
