Picking up its first wins of the season, the men’s hockey team had a busy break, playing seven games including an exciting Ledyard National Bank Classic hosted by the team in Hanover. The team came away from the action with two wins, three losses and a pair of ties.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Abbey D’Agostino ’14 won the NCAA Division I championship in cross country, Saturday Nov. 23rd in rain soaked conditions in Terre Haute, Indiana.

The men’s hockey team lost a heartbreaker in overtime on Friday on the road against Princeton University 5-4, before losing to No. 6 Quinnipiac University on Saturday 3-1.
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.

For the first time since 2001, both the women’s and men’s cross country teams qualified for the NCAA Division I national championship from the Northeast Region.
This, faithful readers, will be our last battlefield update of the fall season. For those of you who have stuck it out with us thus far, only to have your hearts broken as the good guys (our story, so we are the good guys) drop so many (sort of) close ones, we appreciate your love and support.
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.
Men’s basketball saw mixed results this week when it faced off with its first two Division I opponents. After falling 77-87 against the Bryant University Bulldogs on Wednesday, the Big Green (2-1) smashed the University of Massachusetts at Lowell River Hawks this Saturday 77-59, wrapping up a three-game showing at home.

As the college basketball season gets underway, there is little doubt that fans across the Ivy League are contemplating what Harvard University’s stunning NCAA tournament win last year might mean for the program.

Harvard’s win was an indicator to many that an Ivy League team can indeed compete at the highest level of Division I basketball.
