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.

Squash teams pick up wins over break

|

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

|

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

|

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.

Women’s hockey sees 1-5-0 interim

The women’s ice hockey team has kept fans and foes on their toes so far this season with several close losses. Over the break, the team (3-12-0, 2-7-0 ECAC) went 1-5-0, suffering four one-goal losses. The team’s lone win came on Dec. 31 against the Providence College Friars in Hanover. The team faced stiff competition over the interim, facing off against then No. 5 Harvard University and No. 8 Boston University.

Track and field teams set the pace in early winter season meets

|

The men’s and women’s indoor track and field teams began the winter season with successful showings at the Harvard Open on Dec. 7 in Cambridge, Mass., and at the Jay Carisella Invitational on Dec. 14, hosted by Northeastern University in Boston. Five Dartmouth women also competed at the University of Rhode Island’s pentathlon, where Janae Dunchack ’14 came in first place with 3,760 points, ahead of 19 other competitors.

One-on-One with John Golden '15

|

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.

Rec League Legends

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.

All term, we have been selecting topics for this column that we hope appealed to casual sports lovers, sports fanatics and people who only witness sports as they flip through television channels. While professional sports and varsity athletics take the spotlight most of the time, this article goes out to all the gym rats out there.

This week, I sat down with Brandon McNally ’15, a forward on the men’s hockey team, before the Big Green traveled to Princeton University and Quinnipiac University, where they lost both games to fall to 0-8-0, 0-6-0 ECAC on the season.
