Men's, women's track and field teams take first at home

By Claire Monagan | April 22, 2009

The Big Green men's and women's track teams defended their home territory this weekend, taking down all opposition at the Dartmouth Outdoor Invitational. The women's final score of 194 points placed them significantly above both the second- and third-place teams, the University of New Hampshire and Middlebury College, who posted 127.5 and 84 points, respectively.

Trailing UVM in the eighth inning, the Big Green was able to take back the lead after a pinch-hit from Brett Gardner '10.

Baseball squeaks by Vermont in the eighth to win 13-10

By Stefanie Lazow | April 22, 2009

Chris Parker / The Dartmouth Staff A clutch pinch-hit single off the bat of Brett Gardner '10 gave the Dartmouth baseball team a winning boost in its 13-10 victory over the University of Vermont on Tuesday in Burlington, Vt. Down two strikes in the eighth inning with men on first and second, Gardner helped Dartmouth (20-11, 14-2 Ivy) take an 11-10 lead from which UVM (10-22, 3-5 America East) would not recover. Dartmouth entered the eighth inning trailing Vermont 10-9, and then tied the game at 10 off of singles from Jake Carlson '12 and Ray Allen '09. After leading for most of the game, the Big Green was forced to manufacture a comeback after pitcher Max Langford '12 gave up four runs in the seventh inning.

Sailing improves ranking but fails to qualify for nationals

By Richard Mezzasalma | April 22, 2009

Correction appended The Dartmouth coed sailing team had a strong campaign this weekend, finishing 11th at the Coed New England Championships at Boston College and third at the Oberg Trophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. With the 11th-place finish at the Championships, the Big Green was able to outperform its 14th-place ranking in the New England Intercollegiate Sailing Association. Meanwhile, the Dartmouth women's team also competed this weekend at the Wick/Shrew Regatta at the U.S.

Competitors at the festival saw numerous events, including races, a triathlon, and a freestyle competition on the rapids.

Ledyard hosts kayak festival in honor of DOC centennial

By Jack Barrett | April 22, 2009

Geoff Holman / The Dartmouth Those who aren't familiar with the Ledyard clubhouse might imagine it as just a great place to take a date, rent a canoe, float slowly and undisturbed out on the water, and soak in the sun as you work on your tan. Now imagine sitting in a piece of plastic, being tossed around in ice-cold, churning whitewater, and trying to stay ahead of 29 other maniacal rowers splashing angrily on your trail as you float uncontrollably towards a nine-foot waterfall where nothing more than a few feet of water separates you and your one-man boat from a rocky riverbed below. This weekend, the 89-year-old organization and Dartmouth Outing Club affiliate hosted the first annual Ledyard River Festival, which stands to become one of the premiere paddling event in the Northeast. While Ledyard has historically been involved with promoting the region's paddling culture, no comparable event had ever been held in the Northeast, although such events take place frequently and annually in other parts of the country. "Ledyard is a club that supports the paddling community at Dartmouth -- so whitewater and flatwater kayaking and canoeing," Alice Bradley '11 said.

Baseball lights up Yale pitchers with 49 hits in four games

By Stefanie Lazow | April 21, 2009

Chris Parker / The Dartmouth Staff The Big Green bats cranked out plenty of hits this weekend, as the Dartmouth baseball team won three out of four games against Yale, scoring a total of 42 runs in a pair of doubleheaders in New Haven, Conn. Dartmouth (19-11, 14-2 Ivy) scored in the double digits in its three victories, while the Bulldogs (12-20, 6-10 Ivy) earned their only win in the first game of the four-game series, a 4-1 pitchers' duel on Saturday. The Big Green bats quickly warmed up to beat Yale 12-9, 13-2 and 17-8 in the next three games of the weekend. "It's always nice to take three games from an opponent like Yale," captain Jack Monahan '09 said.

Toe to Toe: Schoenfeld vs. Knapp (Schoenfeld)

By Adam Schoenfeld | April 20, 2009

Jordan has decided to shirk his duty to this column this week to compete in rugby nationals in Atlanta, Ga., so I am stepping up as a guest columnist and will be filling in for him in this week's Toe to Toe, in which Mike and I have decided to discuss Bob Whalen's tenure as baseball coach at Dartmouth. So the question we will try to answer is, should there be pressure on Bob Whalen as Dartmouth's baseball coach?

By Michael Knapp | April 20, 2009

First of all, I would like to thank my friend, Adam J. Schoenfeld, for filling in for Jordan Rose this week, as he is at an away rugby game. Adam is a worthy opponent because he is both a state-champion debater and an avid Dartmouth sports fan.

Crew teams have mixed weekend results at home and away

April 20, 2009

Zeke Turner / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Dartmouth's lightweight crew team saw little success this weekend, as the crews slipped both at home and away against Columbia and Yale. The first novice boat of the heavyweight team, however, coasted to a sound victory against Boston University, while the other varsity boats faced stiffer competition in the Edward Bill Cup. The Big Green women's crew posted mixed results on Saturday against Radcliffe and Syracuse University. On Saturday, the lightweights traveled to Derby, Conn., where Yale overwhelmed Dartmouth and swept all five races. Dartmouth's first varsity eight posted a time of 5:48.1 against Yale's 5:41.4.

Softball ends three-game win streak in close game at UConn

By Tianchi Xu | April 17, 2009

The Dartmouth softball team came up short against the University of Connecticut on Wednesday afternoon in Storrs, Conn., as the Huskies halted a three-game Big Green winning streak by a score of 5-3. Dartmouth (18-15, 9-3 Ivy) still maintains its lead atop the North Division of the Ivy League, while the Huskies (25-12, 7-6 Big East) continue their midseason resurgence, notching their 11th victory in the last 12 games. Heading into its second non-conference game in less than a week, the Big Green looked to capitalize on its momentum after sweeping a doubleheader with Brown last Sunday, co-captain Christy Autin '10 said. "We faced some hardship early in the season while up against some of the biggest and best programs in the country, and since we've been home," she said.
