Szabo ’17 stays humble despite on-court successes in first season

|

After a recent victory, women’s basketball forward Fanni Szabo ’17 taught her teammates to say “believe in yourself” in Hungarian. Although injuries and illnesses have taken their toll on the women’s basketball team to the tune of a 2-12, 0-1 Ivy League record, Szabo, a Budapest native, consistently pushes her teammates to step up their game.

Mark Coogan to leave Dartmouth

|

Four years, five All-Americans and a cross country Ivy League Heptagonal Championship later, Big Green women’s cross country head coach and track distance coach Mark Coogan is leaving the College for New Balance. Starting Jan. 15, he will begin his work as a member of New Balance’s running sports marketing division, a position that will include coaching New Balance elite athletes.

More than a Game

|

Jay Cutler signed a contract in early January with the Chicago Bears, guaranteeing him around $126 million over the next seven years. Seven years! The quarterback will be in his late 30s when the contract expires, much older than many of his teammates and competitors. Clearly the Bears want him so badly, despite his lackluster performance this season, that they are willing to pledge this salary for years to come, even with so many unknowns — possible injuries, the promise of new talent and effects of his aging.

Rec League Legends

|

Last week, the Legends issued a New Year’s proclamation (way more intense than any old resolution) that 2014 would be a year of victory for the Legends. We would put fall term’s near-losses behind us and think only about our future as the premier intramural champions on this campus — or at least the only ones who take the time to write about it each week.

Despite hanging close to the Crimson (14-2, 1-0 Ivy) through the first half, the Big Green (7-7, 0-1 Ivy) allowed Harvard to run away with the rest of the game, trailing by 16 points at the final buzzer.

Women’s hockey tallies three points in homestand

|

The women’s ice hockey team tore up the ice this weekend with a fierce 5-4 win over Yale University and a 3-3 tie with Brown University. Both games were very physical, with 19 combined penalties. The chippy play led to two back-and-forth contests with a total of six lead changes. The games were crucial for the Big Green women (4-12-1, 3-7-1 ECAC), who vaulted to ninth in the ECAC standings, just two points behind the Bulldogs (6-10-1, 4-5-1 ECAC) and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (8-11-12, 4-5-1 ECAC), now just on place from playoff position.

Track teams finish first at Dartmouth Relays

Despite a few delays due to Hanover’s icy road conditions, the Dartmouth Relays were a resounding success for the Big Green — both the men’s and women’s teams finished first. The three-day event, which includes one of the largest high school meets in the Northeast, concluded on Sunday with the majority of the collegiate-level events.

During his freshman year, men’s soccer midfielder Gabe Hoffman-Johnson ’14 traveled to Sierra Leone armed with only 20 soccer balls. He returned last month with 500 balls, collected through a successful donation campaign. The sport’s international popularity allowed him to connect with people from different backgrounds, Hoffman-Johnson said.

Men’s hockey upsets Boston University

|

After a six-year hiatus, Boston University and Dartmouth men’s hockey squared off on the ice at Agganis Arena in Boston Wednesday night. The Big Green (3-11-2, 2-8-0 ECAC) stunned the Terriers (7-10-2, 2-4-1 Hockey East) 4-2, the first time Dartmouth has won consecutive bouts against them in over 30 years.

Pulse of the Sports World

|

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

|

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.
