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.
With two blocked kicks and a big day on the ground from Nick Schwieger '12, the Dartmouth football team started its 2011 season in impressive fashion, recording a 37-20 win over Colgate University at Memorial Field on Saturday. Dartmouth (1-0) rode a ruthlessly efficient game to victory, finishing with 258 rushing yards on 39 carries. 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.
Failing to capitalize on its late-game opportunities, the Dartmouth men's soccer team lost consecutive games at the Southern Methodist University Invitational in Dallas, Texas over the weekend.

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.

Many Big Green teams will be under new leadership this season, with the women's golf team, the women's cross country team and the volleyball team all installing new head coaches prior to fall play.
The Big Green men's and women's soccer teams both bounced back from early losses to earn their first victories of the season.

As sophomore Summer draws to a close, the high-school students attending camps and creating long lines at the Courtyard Cafe will soon be replaced by an influx of new recruits and returning athletes.

Right now, Sophomore Summer is in its NFC or AFC Championship stage. That is to say, most people are thinking, "This is really awesome and has been great, and I can't believe it's going to be over soon." This thought was abruptly thrown upon me when I realized I will not have a single psych class left by the time this article prints.
There's really no other way to put it: Sophomore Summer is awesome. It's awesome to barbecue outside, go on hiking trips and to swim in the river (not at night, of course). However, all good things must come to an end.
