Baseball plays in California, wins league openers

By Jack Barrett | March 30, 2009

Beginning on March 18, the Dartmouth baseball team embarked on a week-long, eight-game road trip to California to get ready for its upcoming 2009 Ivy League campaign. The Big Green (4-9, 3-0 Ivy) faced a tough string of West Coast teams, dropping seven games and salvaging one win as the team traveled throughout the Golden State. The lone win for Dartmouth came on the trip's second-to-last day, when the Big Green defeated San Jose State 7-4 at California Polytechnic State University's Baggett Stadium.

Skiing takes seventh place at NCAA championships

By Manisha Apte | March 30, 2009

Coming off an undefeated carnival season, Dartmouth's ski team could not maintain its perfect record and rounded off the year finishing seventh at the NCAA championships on March 14, hosted by Bates College. Accumulating a total of 555 points, the Big Green triumphed over much of the 22-team competition, but fell short of the University of Denver's winning 659-point tally. Dartmouth again matched up well against its competitors from the East, managing to beat every other Eastern team except the University of Vermont, which placed fifth with 573 points.

Koren Schram '09 had nine points and seven rebounds in the Big Green's loss to top-seeded Maryland in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

Women's basketball falls to Maryland in NCAAs

By Tianchi Xu | March 30, 2009

Tilman Dette / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Playing before a crowd of almost 11,000, the Dartmouth women's basketball team ended its season with an 82-53 loss to top-seeded Maryland in the first round of the NCAA tournament last week. On the heels of the team's third Ivy championship in four years, the 16th-seeded Big Green (18-11, 13-1 Ivy) looked to carry its momentum into the postseason with an early upset bid at the Comcast Center in College Park, Md. "We didn't come down here to do well -- we actually came down here to win, but we are just delighted," head coach Chris Wielgus said in a Collge press release. The Terrapins (28-4, 12-2 ACC) headed into the matchup with a 35-game home winning streak, anchored by the ACC Player of the Year senior Kristi Toliver. Although Dartmouth was regarded as the best defensive squad in the Ivy League, Toliver, who is averaging 18.1 points and 5.1 assists per game, was too much to handle for the Big Green.

Women's lacrosse falls to UMass

By Manisha Apte | March 6, 2009

Zach Ingbretsen / The Dartmouth Staff After winning its home opener against the University of New Hampshire on Saturday, the Dartmouth women's lacrosse team suffered its first loss of the season on the road to the University of Massachusetts Wednesday in a high-scoring affair that ended with a score of 13-10. Although the game saw back-and-forth action between the two teams, Dartmouth (2-1, 0-0 Ivy) never managed to build a lead over UMass (2-3, 0-0 Atlantic 10), and the longest time Dartmouth could hold onto a tie was for just over four minutes, after the team's first goal at 25:06 in the first period, by Kat Collins '11. "It just came down to basic concepts," co-captain and goalie Julie Wadland '10 said.
