By Grace D'Arcy | March 7, 2008

Zach Ingbretsen / The Dartmouth Staff As Winter term winds down it appears as though all Dartmouth students are consumed solely with studying for final exams, late night term paper writing marathons and trying to catch an occasional hour or two of sleep.

The Glove

By David Glovsky | March 6, 2008

A little over a month ago, I wrote a column urging restraint in hoping the 7-8 Dartmouth men's basketball team would break out and become an Ivy League power. At the time, the Big Green was 1-1 in conference play, and The Dartmouth stated that men's basketball "has its eye on greater things, more importantly an Ivy League Championship and its first NCAA berth since 1959." Since that time, Dartmouth men's basketball has gone 2-8 in the conference (leaving them 9-16 overall), with two of the team's recent losses decided by four points or less and another two ending with just a 10 points margin.

The Big Green baseball team caught a glimpse this season's potential after winning two of three games against Navy last weekend.

Men's squash praises captain Adam King '08

By Sarah Rohrbach | March 5, 2008

The crowd of fans at Dartmouth men's squash team's last home match was large, despite an early start time and the fact that squash is not traditionally a spectator sport. It was not immediatly clear why so many people came out to watch the squash matches at 11 a.m.

Men's Hockey

By Heita Miki | March 3, 2008

The Dartmouth men's hockey team suffered a lopsided loss at the hands of one of its fiercest rivals, but rebounded to get a win in its last home game, giving the Big Green some momentum heading into the Eastern College Athletic Conference hockey league playoffs.

Women's Hockey

By Cameron Nutt | March 3, 2008

The Big Green women's hockey swept Colgate in the first round of the Eastern College Athletic Conference's postseason hockey tournament with a 4-3 victory on Friday, followed by a 4-2 win on Saturday. Dartmouth (18-7-6, 15-4-5 ECAC), ranked third in the ECAC, came into the series undefeated for the month of February. Fresh off of a 4-1 victory over Colgate (12-17-5, 9-11-4 ECAC) in the regular season finale, the Big Green was primed to ride this momentum through the first round of playoffs. On Friday, Larissa Roche '11 scored the first goal of the night early into the first period. The Raiders quickly responded, beginning an intense fight for the lead that persisted until the game's final minute. Dartmouth scored again before the end of the first period on a goal by Sarah Parsons '10 but was answered by a Colgate goal a minute into the second. Both teams increased the level of competition in the second period, recognizing that a win would not be easy for either squad. "It's playoff time, so there is always a struggle to stay ahead," Sarah Newnam '09 said.

Men's hoops goes 1-1 on weekend as Cornell wins Ivies

By Ryan Karr | March 3, 2008

Sophie Novack / The Dartmouth Staff This season Dartmouth has seen three different versions of the Big Green men's basketball team: one that cannot beat anybody, one that can play with anybody but cannot pull out the close win, and one that can beat any conference team at home or on the road.

THE GLOVE: Spoiled Ivy

By Dave Glovsky | February 28, 2008

Wikipedia's entry on the Ivy League notes, "The term has connotations of academic excellence, selectivity in admissions and a reputation for social elitism." The term became official in 1954 when the eight members of the Ivy League finally committed to a league to govern virtually all of their members' sports (exceptions such as skiing remain). As on the mark as Wikipedia's definition is to overall life in the Ancient Eight, it remains even more accurate when it comes to sports. The NCAA has never been accused of being an adaptable body, particularly in their refusal to ever adopt a Division I football playoff and to change rules to respond to variations in playing and competing conditions over time.

Women's lacrosse crushed by Syracuse, 18-5, in 2008 opener

By Sarah Rohrbach | February 27, 2008

Dartmouth's women's lacrosse team, ranked No. 17 in the nation, lost to No. 5 Syracuse, 18-5, in its first game of the 2008 season on Sunday. After the loss, head coach Amy Patton highlighted both the strength of the Syracuse team (2-0, 0-0 Big East) and the need for the Big Green (0-1, 0-0 Ivy) to step up its level of intensity. "I think the only place we can go is up -- it was a rough game," Patton said.
