By Stefanie Lazow | October 15, 2008

BEN GETTINGER / The Dartmouth Staff The women's tennis team started off slow and never seemed to gain enough momentum to mount a comeback at the United States Tennis Association Billie Jean King National Tennis Center Invitational this weekend in Flushing Meadows, N.Y. Of the five Dartmouth players competing in the weekend action, Ashley Mitchell '11 and Molly Scott '11 provided some bright spots in the team's effort.

Sailing falls short of expectations in six weekend regattas

October 14, 2008

Despite a dominant showing at the Regis Bowl last weekend, the Dartmouth women's sailing team fell short of expectations, placing 17th in the Navy Women's Fall Intersectional hosted by the United States Naval Academy over the weekend. The Big Green sailing squads traveled to five other regattas, including the Hobart and William Smith Fall Intersectional, in Geneva, N.Y., where they finished in the middle of the pack; the New England Single-handed Championships hosted by Yale University; the Casco Bay Open, hosted by Bowdoin College; the Storm Trysail Regatta in Larchmont, N.Y., and the University of New Hampshire Invitational. In Annapolis, Becca Dellenbaugh '10 and Sarah Johnston '09 struggled for a 14th-place finish in Division A, while Kendall Reiley '09 and Kathy Oprea '10 fared no better, placing 15th in the Division B race. The Navy Women's Fall Intersectional differs from other regattas, as it includes a third division of competition, where one sailor single-handedly races a Laser Radial boat. Stef Gagnon '10's 11th-place finish in Division C, however, failed to improve Dartmouth's standings in the final scoring.

Volleyball falls to Yale, beats Brown in weekend action

By Tianchi Xu | October 13, 2008

Zach Ingbretsen / The Dartmouth Staff Powered by a resurgent defense and healthy roster, the Dartmouth women's volleyball team rose to the challenge against two Ivy contenders this weekend, finishing its road trip with a strong win over Brown on Saturday after a hard-fought loss to Yale University on Friday evening. With the split, Dartmouth (5-9, 1-3 Ivy) is tied for sixth in the Ivy League standings with Brown University (9-7, 1-3 Ivy). Yale (10-3, 4-0 Ivy) holds the top spot in the conference after the weekend's action. After falling to Harvard University in straight sets last Friday, the Big Green looked to reassert its presence in the Ivies, facing its league rivals with a full lineup for the first time in the season. Morgan Covington '10, who dislocated her left thumb during the Dartmouth Invitational two weeks ago, came off the injury list after missing three games. "We've just been waiting to click as a team," Amber Bryant '12 said.

Karr's Chronicles: Club Dominance

By Ryan Karr | October 8, 2008

Not many people at Dartmouth realize that we have an athletic program that is so dominant that it is out-scoring its opponents by nearly 3.5 to 1 -- a program that won a national championship as recently as 1997 and looks poised to compete for another one this year.

Favorable practicing conditions at Lake Mascoma helped Dartmouth women's sailing prepare for a second-place finish overall at the Regis Bowl.

Women shine in weekend sailing

October 8, 2008

Phil Woram / The Dartmouth Staff The Dartmouth sailing team clinched second-place finishes Saturday at the women's Regis Bowl hosted by Boston University and the Southern Series Three hosted by Yale University, while finishing 12th out of 27 teams at the Smith Trophy Race hosted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The successes at those regattas stand in sharp contrast to the Big Green's 12th-place showing at the George Warren Smith Trophy held at MIT this past weekend. On the Charles River in Boston, Becca Dellenbaugh '10 and Sarah Johnston '09 finished tied for second place in Division A of the Regis Bowl.

After an opening-day 85, 13 over par, Lauren Stricker '09 shot an eight-over 80 Sunday as the Big Green took ninth place at the ECAC championships.
