Nicholas Root / The Dartmouth Staff Nicholas Root / The Dartmouth Staff Nicholas Root / The Dartmouth Staff Nicholas Root / The Dartmouth Staff In its first home Ivy doubleheader of the season, the Dartmouth women's basketball team slipped past Cornell University, 55-53, Friday night before falling to title contender Columbia University, 72-59, Saturday. The split marked just the second time that Dartmouth (7-10, 2-1 Ivy) has lost to an Ivy opponent in the past year snapping the Big Green's six-game conference winning streak. "We almost had two weeks off, and it looked like it," head coach Chris Wielgus said. After the weekend action, the women's squad is now tied in third place in the league with Harvard University.

Women's hockey defeats Eagles with four-goal comeback

Christopher Rhoades / The Dartmouth Staff Christopher Rhoades / The Dartmouth Staff The Dartmouth women's hockey team shredded through Boston College's early two-goal lead with a four-goal surge in the second period to notch its second consecutive win on Wednesday. Five different players contributed to the 6-3 victory, including freshman blue-lineman Sasha Nanji '13, who picked up a pair of goals and an assist for a career-high three points on the night. The Big Green's (8-11-2, 5-9-1 ECAC Hockey) unrelenting pressure on BC (5-13-9,4-8-4 Hockey East) was a key factor in Dartmouth's triumphant comeback, head coach Mark Hudak said. "[The pressure] makes the other team panic and they start to worry too much about the puck, instead of the other players," he said.

‘Fine-tunings' bring women's hockey win over Dutchmen

Kevin Xiao / The Dartmouth Staff Kevin Xiao / The Dartmouth Staff The Dartmouth women's hockey team unleashed an assault of shots on Rensselaer Polytechnic University and Union College this weekend, narrowly losing to the Engineers (10-10-5, 7-4-3 ECAC Hockey) before dominating the last-place Dutchmen (5-20-1, 1-12-1 ECAC Hockey). RPI scraped by with a late-period goal for a final score of 2-1. Deadlocked going into the final frame, the Engineers' Allison Wright skated through traffic in front of the net to tip in the eventual game-winning goal for RPI. This was the Engineers' first victory over Dartmouth (7-11-2, 5-9-1 ECAC Hockey) in their last ten meetings. The Big Green had no difficulty creating opportunities, as the team put 46 shots on netminder Sonja van der Bliek. RPI's freshman goalie remained solid in between the pipes, disrupting Dartmouth's offensive efforts, head coach Mark Hudak said. "Getting that many shots with just one goal is very frustrating," he said. Dartmouth fired 22 shots in the opening period alone, to no avail. Alyssa Boehm '11 netted the Big Green's sole point of the match on a breakaway late in the middle frame.
