Crews hang tough as heavyweights earn first win of season

By Heita Miki | April 7, 2008

This weekend, the varsity eights for the men's heavyweight and women's crew teams had races that came down to the wire, but only one was able to come out with a victory. The men's heavyweight crew team got off to a solid start, beating Holy Cross at Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester, Mass., on Sunday afternoon, just managing to edge out the Crusaders before the finish line. The Big Green varsity eight finished with a time of 6:03.2 seconds while the Crusaders' crew crossed the line just a hair behind at 6:04.0. The second Dartmouth varsity boat did not enjoy similar results, ending its race in second place in 6:23.0.

Men's lax drops heartbreaker to UPenn in overtime

By Stephen Preefer | April 7, 2008

It took two full quarters for Dartmouth's men's lacrosse team to overcome a six-goal deficit and push the University of Pennsylvania into overtime, but it took less than 30 seconds for the Quakers to end the Big Green's comeback bid and Dartmouth lost the Saturday afternoon heartbreaker, 9-8. The second consecutive conference loss for the Big Green could hurt the team's chances for a possible NCAA tournament berth and also puts Dartmouth at a disadvantage in the race for an Ivy League championship. Penn (5-3, 3-1 Ivy) had been ranked among the nation's top 20 for most of the season, but dropped out just last week. The Dartmouth men(4-5, 0-2 Ivy) were disappointed with their performance, but felt that the team played well in the second half to position themselves to gain a potential conference victory. "We played well as the game went on," co-captain Doug Rendall '09 said.

Track and field teams take top spots at Snowflake Invitational

By Cameron Nutt | April 1, 2008

Dartmouth men's and women's track prevailed in the Snowflake Invitational at Tufts University this past weekend, as both teams placed first out of thirteen schools. Big Green athletes posted 11 first place finishes in various events to contribute to winning scores of 223 for the men and 196.5 for the women.

"The meet went very well in terms of our overall team score," men's coach Barry Harwick said.

Dartmouth Kiwis kick New Zealand into Olympics

By Heita Miki | March 31, 2008

While most students were busy cramming for final exams at the end of Winter term, two Big Green athletes were in Fiji accomplishing something far more impressive than beating the median in class. Craig Henderson '09 and Dan Keat '10, members of Dartmouth's men's soccer team, helped their native New Zealand qualify for the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing. Henderson and Keat were instrumental in helping New Zealand win the Oceania Football Confederation's Olympic qualifying tournament, held on March 1-9 in Lautoka, Fiji. Keat helped set up the winning goal in the first game against Fiji, but was sent off on a controversial red card in a game against Vanuatu and missed the rest of the tournament due to a suspension. Henderson had a goal against the Solomon Islands to secure the win and virtually guarantee the Oly-Whites' spot in the 29th Olympiad. This marks the first time that the Oly-Whites have qualified for the Olympics in soccer.
