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

|

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.

This week, I sat down with Dana Giordano ’16, a member of the women’s track team, to discuss her distance medley relay team’s record-setting performance Friday night at Pennsylvania State University. 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

|

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

|

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

|

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.

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.

Basketball teams downed by Harvard

The men’s and women’s basketball teams both lost to Harvard University this weekend, getting swept in the season series against the Crimson. The Big Green men (7-9, 0-2 Ivy), missing center and leading scorer Gabas Maldunas ’15 with an ACL injury, were scorched 80-50 at Leede Arena while the women (3-13, 0-2 Ivy) fell 77-59 in Cambridge, Mass.

More Than A Game

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

|

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.

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.

Women’s hockey picks up four points

|

The women’s ice hockey team gained a critical four points this weekend, defeating Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Union College, both in come-from-behind fashion. The team now enjoys a three-game winning streak, which started with a 4-2 win over Colgate University on Jan. 18. The 2-1 win against Rensselaer (10-13-2, 6-7-1 ECAC) marked the second time that Dartmouth (7-13-1, 6-8-1 ECAC) has beaten the Engineers this season. Union College (8-17-1, 3-11-0 ECAC) won the two teams’ earlier meeting this season, but the Big Green took Saturday’s game 4-3 after surmounting a third period deficit.

When Will Geoghegan ’14 crossed the finish line on Saturday at the Terrier Invitational at Boston University in 3:58.04, he crossed into the history books as well. The senior from Brunswick, Maine, ran the fastest mile in the nation this year, breaking Dartmouth and Ivy League records.
