Football aims for upset win against league-leading Brown

By IVAN ZLATAR | November 14, 2008

In a season where there has been little to cheer about, the winless Dartmouth football team will have a unique opportunity to ruin another team's season when it faces Brown this weekend. Brown (5-3, 4-1 Ivy) is tied for the Ivy League lead with Harvard (7-1, 4-1 Ivy) and the University of Pennsylvania (5-3, 4-1 Ivy). Each team has just one conference loss this year with just two games remaining on each team's schedule. Brown is just two wins away from its first league championship since 2005, when it tied with Princeton for a share of the title. Interestingly enough, four years ago, Dartmouth and Brown found themselves in a similar situation.

BEN GETTINGER / The Dartmouth Staff The Dartmouth women's tennis team competed in Hanover at the Big Green Invitational this past weekend, facing teams from Boston University, Temple University and the University of Akron over the three-day event at the Boss Tennis Center. The University of Syracuse and the University of Massachusetts also took part in the weekend's play. On Friday, the Big Green squared off against the Terriers of Boston University, splitting thier matches, 4-4. The Big Green played without all of its upperclassmen as the team's four juniors, including captains Jesse Adler '10 and Mary Beth Winingham '10, are off this term, and captain Jamie Caplan '09 is injured. Even so, Dartmouth had the edge in singles against the Terriers, led by a strong performance from Molly Scott '11.

By Sarah Rohrbach | November 11, 2008

The Big Green (6-11, 4-3 Ivy) fell to the Big Red (11-5, 6-1 Ivy), 3-2, in Ithaca, N.Y.

Toe to Toe: Schmidley

By Will Schmidley | November 10, 2008

In today's column, Ryan and I will argue over which NFL team is the cream of the crop. If either of us knew what we're talking about earlier in the term, we should have been taken back to our columns in which we took a stab at predicting this year's Super Bowl-winner. My pick, the Cowboys, have been riddled by injury after injury to a number of key players and are limping past the halfway mark in the 2008 season.

Toe to Toe: Karr

By Ryan Karr | November 10, 2008

Several weeks ago, when Schmidley and I were prematurely predicting who would win the Super Bowl, I wrote, "[The Giants] look even better than they were last year, minus the downgraded defensive line, and Eli Manning has come into his own." Weeks later, are there any doubters still out there?

Underclassmen step up to give men's soccer late-season win

By Nick Binder | November 10, 2008

The Dartmouth men's soccer team put on a high-scoring show with the help of its freshmen on Saturday night, as the Big Green beat Cornell, 5-2, in Ithaca, N.Y. Cornell's Matt Bouraee had a big night with two goals, but Dartmouth rookie Lucky Mkosana '12 did him one better, netting a hat trick as the Big Green pulled away for an important win. After improving to 10-5-1 (4-1-1 Ivy), Dartmouth kept itself in the race for a piece of the Ivy League title and a likely at-large NCAA tournament bid.
