Big Green Athletics: Year in Review

By IVAN ZLATAR | June 9, 2008

The baseball team led the way for the Big Green in a successful year for Dartmouth athletics. After posting an impressive 25-17 record and gaining a No.1 ranking in New England, Dartmouth's baseball team was stopped short of the NCAA tournament by a heartbreaking third-game loss to Columbia University in the Ivy League championship in Hanover. Seven players received All-Ivy honors, including co-captain Russell Young '08, who was named Ivy League Pitcher of the Year. Erik Bell '08 was named to ESPN The Magazine's Academic All-District Second Team, while Damon Wright '08 and Nick Santomauro '10 were named to the All-New England First Team.

By Paul Glenn | May 23, 2008

Ryan Yuk / The Dartmouth Staff Athletic director Josie Harper said this week that Dartmouth's athletic teams are well positioned to have some of their most successful seasons ever in the 2008-2009 academic year. In an interview with The Dartmouth, Harper cited a great recruiting year in 2008, maturation of current Dartmouth student-athletes and key upgrades to athletic facilites as contributing factors that have strongly benefited the Big Green athletic program. "Some outstanding individuals are heading our way, and you have a whole group of players who got a lot of experience [this year]," she said. Harper credited the recent facilities upgrades with helping Dartmouth face recruitment challenges.

By Will Schmidley | May 19, 2008

Today's column marks the end of our "Toe to Toe" tenure. I am a bit too lazy to count how many rounds my colleague and I have had in the ring during our year-long term, but one number I am quite certain I am in the ballpark of figuring out is the figure I like to call "less than or equal to five," which represents the number of wins Hodes collected since we started last Spring term.
