Women's basketball opens season with 0-4 early record

|

After falling to the University of New Hampshire on Tuesday, the Dartmouth women's basketball team faced tough competition in the TD Bank Classic at the University of Vermont this weekend, where both Boston College and Marist College topped the Big Green, giving the team a 0-4 start to the season. In Tuesday's 65-52 loss to UNH, co-captain Brittney Smith '11 had trouble being an offensive threat because of a strong defensive effort by the Wildcats and only put up six points on the day. Dartmouth was out-rebounded 38-28, and UNH's domination in the paint contributed in large part to its 10-point lead at halftime. Early in the second half, the women closed the spread to seven but were unable to keep up the pressure.

ONE-ON-ONE: Aly O'Dea '12

I sat down with Aly O'Dea '12 to talk about falling just short of the Ivy League title at the end of the women's soccer season. How tough is it to come so close to winning but come up short? AO: There was a period of time where if four or five things happened we would've won so we were all really excited, but then one of the teams didn't win so we we're really bummed.

"I'm not a kid anymore, but some days I sit and wish I was a kid again." Those lyrics are from a song by Travie McCoy lead singer of Gym Class Heroes called "Akidagain." Sometimes I feel a little nostalgic for the days back when we thought picking your nose was kind of adorable, but in a weird way the age when worries were few and far between.
