Editor's Note: This is the first in a two-part series examining the relationship between varsity sports teams and Greek organizations at Dartmouth. As winter rush concludes, and fraternities around campus take stock of their newest members, the presence of members of different sports teams in a fraternity remains one of the factors that influences student perception of Greek organizations at the College. There is a notion at Dartmouth that members of certain teams are required to be a part of the organizations with which their teams are most-often associated.

The Dartmouth women's basketball team won its third consecutive game on the road, rallying past Bryant University 71-56 Saturday afternoon. The Big Green's come-from-behind victory was marked by a strong second half, as Dartmouth (6-9, 1-0 Ivy) outscored and out-rebounded the Bulldogs (5-12, 0-0 NEC) by double-digit margins after the intermission. Brittany Smith '11 led all players with a career-high 24 points and nine rebounds, while teammate Koren Schram '09 tallied six rebounds and four steals to cap off a solid defensive showing for the Big Green. Bryant's Lindsay Hudspethcame off the bench and led her team with 18 points. Teammate Kelsey O'Keefe contributed 16 points and 14 boards, posting her sixth double-double of the season. After an 11-day break, Dartmouth looked to bolster its confidence with another win on the road before the start of two key league matchups later in the month. "Being on a winning streak definitely gives us some confidence heading into the rest of Ivy play, but everyone plays their best against us so we have to be ready for anything," Darcy Rose '09 said. The Big Green, however, was mostly quiet in the first half.
