Ivy League recruiting practices: Does Dartmouth lower its standards?

By Stefanie Lazow | January 12, 2009

College admissions season can be a stressful time for high school juniors and seniors, and that often goes doubly so for prospective athletes, who are trying to get noticed and recruited by the best program that will take them. A popular misconception of the athletic recruitment process in the Ivy League is that academic standards are sacrificed to promote the success of athletic programs.

Women's basketball triumphs over Harvard in 59-55 victory

By Tianchi Xu | January 12, 2009

Andy Foust / The Dartmouth Staff In a heated matchup of old rivals, the Dartmouth women's basketball team edged out top Ivy contender Harvard on Saturday, securing its first league victory of the season, 59-55. Leading by three with less than 30 seconds left in the second half, the Big Green (4-9, 1-0 Ivy) missed two sets of free throws down the stretch, giving Harvard (8-7, 1-0 Ivy) a final chance to tie and force overtime. The ensuing Crimson possession, however, was abruptly cut short by senior guard Koren Schram '09, who tipped a Crimson pass into the hands of teammate Darcy Rose '09, smothering any comeback opportunities. "As our first Ivy game, this was a huge win for us," Rose said.

The Big Green men's basketball team narrowly fell to Harvard in its first conference match of the season on Saturday.
