Volleyball falters during roadtrip with two league loses

By Tianchi Xu | October 27, 2008

A dogged display of fierce rallies and team consistency were not enough for the Dartmouth women's volleyball team, as the Big Green dropped Friday night's match in straight sets to the University of Pennsylvania and faltered late against powerhouse Princeton University on Saturday. The Big Green (6-12, 2-6 Ivy) and Penn (8-11, 4-3 Ivy) remain in sixth and fourth place in the league, respectively, after the weekend action.

Late drive opportunity falls short as football falls to Lions

By Paul Glenn | October 27, 2008

Jared Bookman / The Dartmouth Staff Alex Jenny '10 lined up at Columbia University on Saturday in a critical situation -- down a touchdown with less than two minutes on the clock, ready to lead a drive into the wind and pouring rain to tie the game. But in a season where little has gone right for the Big Green, the misfortune continued, as Andy Shalbrack picked off Jenny's pass over the middle, securing a 21-13 victory for the Lions. It was head coach Buddy Teevens' first-ever loss against Columbia (1-5, 1-2 Ivy), as a player or a coach. With the win, the Lions snapped their 13-game losing streak and extended Dartmouth's (0-6, 0-3 Ivy) drought to eight games without a victory. The Big Green is last in the league, while Columbia is now in seventh place. Brown University and the University of Pennsylvania are tied for first heading into next weekend's head-to-head contest in Philadelphia, Pa. Both teams were forced to battle a driving rain and swirling wind that gusted up to and above 40 miles per hour, breaking many of the umbrellas in the sparse crowd, officially listed at 2,161. Both teams used two quarterbacks in the game, but it was Columbia that found the mid-game swap to be more effective. M.A.
