Volleyball falls again to rival Harvard in straight sets

By Tianchi Xu | October 6, 2008

Struggling with team inconsistencies and individual injuries, the Dartmouth volleyball team missed a chance at redemption against division rival Harvard on Friday night, falling in straight sets, 25-12, 25-15, 25-21. Having lost two of three matches during last week's Dartmouth Invitational, including a 4-1 defeat by Harvard (7-7, 2-0 Ivy), the Big Green (4-8, 0-2 Ivy) sought to regain its momentum against a streaking Crimson squad that had won five straight coming into Friday's match. "[Harvard] played at a faster pace than they did last time," head coach Ann Marie Larese said.

Stephen Greif '11 partnered with classmate David Fink '11 to win in doubles on Friday, before downing Fink in the H flight singles final on Saturday.

Defense shows improvement as Quakers beat football

By IVAN ZLATAR | October 6, 2008

Dartmouth football lost its first game of the Ivy League schedule Saturday, falling to the University of Pennsylvania, 23-10, at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, Pa. The game was highlighted by some good but extremely inconsistent play for Dartmouth (0-3, 0-1 Ivy). The defense seems to have fixed a number of their problems since last week's 42-6 blowout loss to University of New Hampshire, as the Big Green held Penn's (1-2, 1-0 Ivy) running attack Saturday to under 10 yards rushing in the first half while intercepting the ball twice and recovering a fumble over the course of the game. Unfortunately, the Big Green offense had all sorts of problems getting it going on Saturday, rushing for just five net yards on 23 attempts.

Field hockey drops match to Holy Cross, 3-2, despite early lead

September 30, 2008

Despite catching the Crusaders off guard with a goal within the first minute of play, Dartmouth field hockey could not maintain its early advantage as the Big Green fell to Holy Cross, 3-2, Sunday afternoon in Hanover. Just 47 seconds into the game, Rebecca Sobel '11 broke open the scoring for Dartmouth (1-6, 1-1 Ivy), guiding the ball into the back of the net on a tip and claiming her second goal of the season. The positive start seemed to add to the Big Green's rising momentum set off by the team's first win of the season against Brown on Saturday. Dartmouth continued to pressure Holy Cross (3-5, 0-0 Patriot League) and keep the ball in the Crusader half of the field during the opening period.

Captain Ashley Hines '09 provided the assist on the game-winning, overtime goal in the Big Green's 5-4 victory over Brown Saturday in Hanover.
