Through the Lens of Lentz

By Dan Lentz | September 26, 2011

I still have absolutely nothing to write about. It's been almost a year of me and this absurdly poor-titled column, and yet I still do not have much for you. As usual, I think about what people who get paid to write about sports usually write about at this time of year.

Volleyball prevails in close matchup, continuing early success

By Claire Monagan | September 25, 2011

Following its largely successful preseason run, the Dartmouth women's volleyball team opened Ivy League play with a closely-contested 3-2 win over Harvard University on Saturday, marking the team's fifth straight win over the Crimson (7-4, 0-1 Ivy). While co-captain Annie Villanueva '12 said the win did not necessarily showcase the Big Green's finest effort, she expressed satisfaction with the team's display of patience and discipline in the win. "It was really intense back and forth play, but I really trusted that we were going to win," Villanueva said. Co-captain Amber Bryant '12 agreed, calling the game a "grind" in spite of her belief that the Big Green could conquer the Crimson. The Big Green (9-3, 1-0 Ivy) jumped out to a 16-8 lead in the first set, but Harvard stormed to take a 20-19 lead of its own.

Hollisto's World

By Chad Hollis | September 22, 2011

Hello Dartmouth, welcome back to my world. I definitely didn't forget about sports while I was grinding away at a "real" job over the summer, and I hope you didn't forget about me during my summer hiatus. You might have heard that lockout talks between the NBA Players Association and the league's owners have stalled, and that the odds of seeing a full season of NBA basketball this year are similar to the odds of Megan Fox winning an Oscar.

Patton Lowenstein / The Dartmouth Staff After losing three of its first four games against difficult non-conference competition, the Dartmouth women's soccer team rebounded with strong performances but failed to fully capitalize against Boston College, the University of Maine and Colgate University last weekend. First-year head coach Theresa Wagner has brought a "winning mentality" to the Big Green, co-captain Kim Rose '13 said.
