Volleyball has weekend sweep with wins over Brown, Yale

By Tianchi Xu | November 8, 2009

NICHOLAS ROOT / The Dartmouth Staff In its last homestand of the season, the Dartmouth women's volleyball team gave the home crowd a memorable performance, outlasting Brown in a tight five-set tiebreak on Friday night and rallying past Ivy powerhouse Yale on Saturday. Leede Arena has been good to the Big Green (11-11, 7-5 Ivy) this year, with seven of the team's 11 wins coming at home. After a five-game slide that spanned over two weeks in October, Dartmouth has now won its last four matchups, climbing to a fourth-place tie with Harvard in the Ivy League standings. On Saturday's Senior Day match against Yale (18-4, 8-3 Ivy), Dartmouth got even with a Bulldogs squad that had cruised past the Big Green in straight sets earlier in the season. For co-captains Megan MacGregor '10 and Morgan Covington '10, the victory over Yale was a fitting sendoff for two seniors who have become key players in Dartmouth's starting lineup. "Beating Yale at home on my Senior Night was definitely one of my favorite moments while playing at Dartmouth," MacGregor said.

Greg Patton '13 set a new Dartmouth single-game rushing record with 243 yards during Saturday's game.

Soccer finds a win over New Hampshire with own goal

By Manisha Apte | November 5, 2009

CHRISTOPHER RHOADES / The Dartmouth An early own goal helped end the Dartmouth men's soccer team's three-game losing streak, as the Big Green defeated the University of New Hampshire (9-6-2, 6-0-1 America East) 1-0 on Tuesday in Durham, N.H. A deflection off a shot taken by co-captain Dan Keat '10 in the seventh minute was enough for Dartmouth (9-5-1, 3-2-0 Ivy) to hold on to a victory, in a match that saw the Wildcats outshoot the Big Green, 12-10. The game also marked the third shutout of the season for rookie goalie Sean Donovan '13.

Field hockey defeats Harvard 5-3, Hood '12 breaks record

By Claire Monagan | November 3, 2009

The Dartmouth field hockey team extended its winning streak to three with a 5-3 win over Harvard (5-10, 2-4 Ivy) Saturday, a game that saw Kelly Hood '12 break the College record for most points in a season. Captain Virginia Peisch '11 said she was satisfied with the team's play, but noted that the Big Green (9-7, 4-2 Ivy) did not play as well as it had against the University of Massachusetts. "We weren't as consistent," Peisch said. Head coach Amy Fowler noted, however, that a win is a win. "We did what we needed to do," she said. The Big Green offense had a strong showing against the Crimson, with five different players scoring goals. Fowler said that the offense carried over its domination of the midfield from last Wednesday's game against Massachusetts. "We had a balanced attack and continued scoring from the field," Fowler said. The first half saw multiple goals from both teams.
