The Power Rankings

|

This week, in response to Raza Rasheed's column ("Success is Optional," Oct. 6) in the Opinion section last week, I've decided to enlist the help of Tim Dolan '11 to help me rank: The Five Reasons A Triple-Option Offense Is a Terrible Idea. Possession Rasheed claims that the triple-option offense would help Dartmouth maintain possession during the game, which would benefit the team because it wouldn't have to throw in the bad weather up in Hanover, and because Dartmouth would be able to keep the clock running and keep the defense off the field.

ian Blumenthal / The Dartmouth Staff Dartmouth men's soccer defeated Yale, 2-1, in a come-from-behind overtime victory on the road Saturday, courtesy of two strikes by forward Lucky Mkosana '12.

Men's lacrosse looks to new regimen to improve results

|

The Dartmouth men's lacrosse team has been working hard in the offseason to improve on last season's disappointing 4-11 record with a new coach, a new defense and a new mentality. The change in the program began last June when Andy Towers was named the new varsity head coach. This summer, Jon Torpey came from the University of Denver to join Towers as assistant coach in charge of defense. The shift in culture is already evident under this new coaching staff, co-captain Chris Root '10 said. "Towers is turning the program around," Root said.
