Mark Coogan to leave Dartmouth

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

By Maddie Garcia and Abby Cohen | January 13, 2014

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

By Austin Major and Freddie Fletcher | January 12, 2014

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.

Women’s hockey tallies three points in homestand

By Macy Ferguson | January 12, 2014

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.

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.

From gingerbread to concrete: athletes serve off the field

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.

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

By Dan Bornstein | January 9, 2014

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.

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

By Maddie Garcia and Abby Cohen | January 6, 2014

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

By Jehanna Axelrod | January 5, 2014

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.
