Men's basketball drops key weekend games

February 28, 2010

Sophie Novack / The Dartmouth Staff Sophie Novack / The Dartmouth Staff Mired in a season-long slump, the Dartmouth men's basketball team failed to notch two important victories this past weekend, suffering a tough 55-45 loss to Yale University on Friday and a 76-57 loss to Brown University on Saturday. In the game against the Bulldogs (11-18, 5-7 Ivy), the Big Green (5-21, 1-11 Ivy) shot an abysmal 25 percent from the field easily the team's season-worst shooting performance.

By Manisha Apte | February 28, 2010

Tilman Dette / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Tilman Dette / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Taking control of its final carnival of the season, the Dartmouth ski team finished a second consecutive undefeated season, winning the Middlebury Carnival with 846 points. The last carnival also doubled as the Eastern Championships, which Dartmouth has now won for the past four years. The University of Vermont again trailed in second with 806 points reminiscent of all of the Big Green's other carnivals this season. "[Vermont] traditionally has had a strong skiing program and has won the NCAA [Championships] a number of times over the years," women's Nordic head coach Cami Thompson said.

Dartmouth swimming prepares for Ivy meet

By Priya Krishna | February 23, 2010

The Dartmouth men's and women's swimming and diving teams are looking to end their seasons on a high note at the Ivy League Championships. The men (3-8, 0-7 Ivy) finished in last place at the meet last year, while the women (2-11, 0-7 Ivy) edged out Brown University in the last few races to take sixth place overall. "Last year's performance at Ivies was probably the highlight of my career at that point," women's co-captain Catherine Armstrong '10 said. The men's team is ranked eighth in the league, but has its eyes set on finally beating Brown the team it narrowly lost to last year. "To finally be able to [beat Brown] would be a great finish to my and [co-captain] Cary [Stathopoulos '10]'s careers," men's co-captain Scott Sorensen '10 said. Stathopoulos and Sorensen are the only seniors on the men's team, while the women have four seniors Armstrong, women's co-captain Carolyn Rippe '10, Kathleen Brady '10 and Kelly O'Callaghan '10. To prepare itself physically, the team has been having shorter practices and is focusing on more race-oriented drills that allow the swimmers to concentrate on the details of each event, he said. "Historically, we've been a team that tapers really well," Sorensen said.
