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.

Women's soccer shows positive ahead of Ivy League play

By Kelly Hanen | September 21, 2011

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. "Having Theresa as a coach has been such a positive influence on our team," Rose said.

Schwieger led the team with 175 yards, pushing his career total to 2,015 and making him the second Big Green running back to surpass 2,000 yards in his career.

Field hockey achieves early season success in two games

By Elisabeth Lubiak | September 13, 2011

Jared Bookman / The Dartmouth Staff In the first few weeks of the fall season, the Dartmouth women's field hockey team has won two games, dominated the Big Green Classic and had one of its players break the College record for career goals. A strong start to the season can give players a psychological boost for later match-ups, and this season is already shaping up to be a successful run for the field hockey team, head coach Amy Fowler said. "Any time you can start with your first couple of wins under your belt, it gives your team confidence going into more difficult games," she said. The team began its official season on Sept.
