Men's lacrosse team starts season with win over Hartford

By Stephen Preefer | February 26, 2008

Grey Cusack / The Dartmouth Dartmouth's men's lacrosse team opened its 2008 campaign with a 10-6 win over the University of Hartford last Saturday. The team was satisfied with the win but believes it has more promise for the season that will begin to take shape soon. "It was an early season game so we were obviously a little rusty," captain Doug Rendall '09 said.

The women's basketball team was among the conference's frontrunners for the first half of the season but is unlikely to qualify for the NCAA tournament.

Toe To Toe (Schmidley)

By Will Schmidley | February 25, 2008

Zach Ingbretson / The Dartmouth Staff As I am sure you already know, the title 'league champion' is currently given to the Ivy League team with the best regular season conference record -- a formula that, on the surface, seems to be sufficient to find out which Ancient Eight team is best. Is it, though? As a "retired" Dartmouth baseball player, I have an appreciation for the commitment it takes to play a sport at an Ivy League college.

Adam King '08 believes the squash season should have ended differently.

Controversy surrounds men's squash team's final ranking

By Sarah Rohrbach | February 25, 2008

Thomas Bukowski / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Though the season has come to an end, Dartmouth's men's squash league has recently become involved in a minor ranking scandal involving Williams College, which is ranked seventh in the College Squash Association rankings. "The Williams Purple Cows really lived up to their name this past weekend," co-captain Adam King '08 said. When brackets for the CSA Championships were set, the University of Rochester was ranked at number eight, putting it in the top division in the tournament.

Dartmouth disappointed a large crowd against Penn on Friday but was able to defeat Princeton on Saturday.

Men's basketball bounces back after disappointing loss

By Ryan Karr | February 25, 2008

Tilman Dette / The Dartmouth Staff After one of the season's worst performances against the University of Pennsylvania, the Dartmouth men's basketball team bounced back with a performance against an overmatched Princeton squad on Saturday night, in a game that was indicative of the capabilities the team possessed earlier this season. The Big Green (9-15, 2-8 Ivy) did not show its competitive potential on the basketball court against Penn (10-16, 5-4 Ivy) on Friday night. Despite the support of the crowd at Leede Arena and the return of leading scorer and rebounder Alex Barnett '09 to the starting lineup, Dartmouth fell 88-62, just two weeks after losing to Penn by two points in Philadelphia. "It was extremely frustrating," co-captain Johnathan Ball '08 said after the game.

The Glove

By David Glovsky | February 20, 2008

Everything I know about sailing I learned at age nine during my first year of summer camp. Unfortunately, the experience did not lead to a future in competitive sailing, but my lack of expertise did drive me to figure what exactly goes on with our own Dartmouth sailing team. In an attempt to get to the bottom of this elusive sport, I recently sat down with All-American Betsy Bryant '08. With no opinion on the matter, I asked Bryant why sailing was a sport.

Women's basketball loses footing in Ivy League title race

By Kevin Liao | February 19, 2008

The Dartmouth women's basketball team led by over 10 points in one game and trailed by over 10 in the other midway in the second half of each game of its New York Ivy swing, but the final outcome was the same in each as the Big Green fell to Columbia, 58-55, and Cornell, 50-43. Dartmouth (8-14, 5-3 Ivy) slipped from its first-place tie in the Ivy League standings to a third-place tie with Columbia (8-14, 5-3 Ivy), while Cornell (15-6, 7-1 Ivy) seized sole possession of first place, with Harvard (13-9, 6-2 Ivy) one game back. It was a rough weekend for Dartmouth, as both captain Kristen Craft '08 and Koren Schram '09 were ill in what may have been the deciding weekend for Dartmouth's Ivy title aspirations. "Cornell and Columbia are both tough teams to play on a very long road trip," Craft said.

By Cameron Nutt | February 18, 2008

The Big Green women's hockey team fared well over the weekend, earning a solid 6-0 victory over Quinnipiac and a come-frombehind 2-2 tie against rival Princeton. Dar tmouth (14-7-6, 11-5-3 ECAC) came out strong Friday against the Bobcats (5-21-4, 11-5-3 ECAC) and simply never let up, netting five goals in a single period during the win. While the first quar ter was a defensive battle during which neither team scored, Dartmouth found its rhythm early into the second period.
