Any Given Monday
Lacking a cute watch or any knowledge of how to actually use iCal, I'm telling time this year by the presence or absence of baseball on Red Rolfe Field.

The Dartmouth men's and women's tennis teams both rebounded from early deficits with relative success during their first weekend of Ivy League play.
With an energetic and determined effort, the Dartmouth women's lacrosse team secured a 17-5 victory over Brown University in Hanover on Saturday.
This past weekend, the co-ed sailing team competed at the Southern New England Team Race at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn., while the women's team competed at the Dellenbaugh Trophy at Brown University.
While the Big Green men's heavyweight crew team began its spring season with a bang at its regatta on Saturday earning first-place finishes in nearly every category the men's track and field and golf teams had a bit of a slower start, finishing in the middle of the pack in their respective matchups. MEN'S HEAVYWEIGHT CREW The first, second and third varsity boats all won in their matchups against Holy Cross University on Saturday.
The Dartmouth men's rugby team could not withstand the United States' Military Academy at West Point's powerful offensive effort on Saturday, losing to the Black Knights, 32-23. Co-captain Chris Downer '11 secured a hat trick, providing Dartmouth (1-2 Rugby East) with the team's only tries of the match.
As a member of the track team, Joe Lonek '11 has competed in various short distance events such as the 400-meter dash and 400-meter hurdles.
Patton Lowenstein / The Dartmouth Staff The Dartmouth men's baseball team opened its Ivy League season with two wins in a double-header against Columbia University on Saturday, but saw an eight-game winning streak come to a close against the University of Pennsylvania on Sunday. The 6-4 and 8-1 victories over Columbia (11-11, 2-2 Ivy) represented a rematch of last year's Ivy League Championship, in which the Big Green (12-6, 2-2 Ivy) defeated the Lions in a three-game series.
Despite a sluggish 5-10 start in a tough non-conference schedule, the Dartmouth softball team bounced back on Saturday with a double-header sweep of Columbia University, extending its winning streak against the Lions to 11 games.
Dani Wang / The Dartmouth Staff Following his game-winning goal in last weekend's win over Harvard University, Nikki Dysenchuk '13 again led the Dartmouth men's lacrosse team in a strong performance against Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., on Saturday.
When I first agreed to write a column, I thought, "It can't be too hard, and it has to be easier than writing a story every week." Yeah, not exactly. Countdowns and top 10 lists, while fun, are being done by other people on the staff.
Doug Gonzalez / The Dartmouth Senior Staff The Dartmouth men's hockey team has hung up its skates until next fall, but several Big Green standouts Joe Stejskal '11, Adam Estoclet '11, Evan Stephens '11 and Rob Smith '11 have already transitioned to professional careers in the American Hockey League and East Coast Hockey League. Dartmouth captain Scott Fleming '11 is still waiting to hear about his future in professional hockey, Dartmouth head coach Bob Gaudet said, and "another guy or two" may also receive an offer. Stejskal was the first to cement a professional contract, signing up with the Montreal Canadiens just three days after the Big Green's ECAC consolation game victory.
Doug Gonzalez / The Dartmouth Senior Staff After returning from an 11-day training trip to the Florida Gulf Coast, the Dartmouth women's softball team dropped a doubleheader to the University of Massachusetts on Wednesday afternoon.
Patton Lowenstein / The Dartmouth Staff Despite playing the earliest home opener in its history, the Dartmouth baseball team did not let the March game dampen its spirits and used a complete offensive performance to defeat Siena College, 16-11, on Wednesday afternoon in Hanover. The Big Green (10-4) dominated early in the game, pounding out six runs by the end of the first inning.

"Penn State was not necessarily the better team, but we prevented ourselves from winning that game," co-captain Nick Downer '11 said.
Not much compares to the excitement of a live hockey game, where the violence on the ice engenders a fever in the stands.
The Dartmouth men's baseball team went 8-2 during its spring break trip to Florida, improving its overall record to 9-4.
