This Winter Carnival, I will not participate in any ski races (cross country or alpine), nor will be I partake in the human dogsled.
Tilman Dette / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Dartmouth's men's and women's swimming and diving teams rebounded from their loss to Princeton by defeating the University of Maine last Saturday.
Thomas Bukowski / The Dartmouth Senior Staff The Big Green men's and women's squash teams evened out their Ivy records with victories at Brown on Saturday. The men's team (12-3, 2-2 Ivy), which is ranked sixth in collegiate play, beat No.
Larissa Cespedes / The Dartmouth Dartmouth's track and field teams saw impressive results against an array of New England teams at the Dartmouth Indoor Classic held on Saturday, Feb.
ADRIAN MUNTEANU / The Dartmouth The Big Green women's hockey team posted a solid showing during their second-to-last home stand of the season, tying Yale 3-3 on Friday and defeating Brown 4-2 on Saturday. Yale (9-9-5, 6-7-3 ECAC) arrived in Hanover hoping to defend second place in the Ivy League, which it had wrested from the Big Green (12-7-4, 9-5-2 ECAC) last week following Dartmouth's loss to Harvard (19-1-0, 16-0-0 ECAC). When the two teams played earlier in the season, Dartmouth emerged with a 4-1 victory. The Bulldogs got the first major opportunity early in the first period with a 5-on-3 power play advantage but failed to get any of six shots past the Dartmouth defense and goalkeeper Carli Clemis '09.
Marina Agapakis / The Dartmouth It was a heart-wrenching weekend for the Big Green men's basketball team.
SEBASTIAN RAMIREZ-BRUNNER / The Dartmouth Coming from behind both times, Dartmouth women's basketball put together consecutive victories this past weekend with a 68-55 win against Princeton and a 63-58 win against Penn. With the weekend sweep, the Big Green (6-12, 3-1 Ivy) leads the Ancient Eight along with Cornell (11-6, 3-1 Ivy), Harvard (10-8, 3-1 Ivy) and Yale (5-12, 3-1 Ivy). In all three of its Ancient Eight wins this season, Dartmouth had to battle back from second-half deficits and build key scoring runs to win. Head coach Chris Wielgus pointed out that the team does a superb job of stifling opposing teams to throw up long jumpers when the shot clock is winding down. "We pride ourselves in our defense," Wielgus said.
In my column two weeks ago, I espoused the Pats as the "correct" team for the neutral fan to cheer on to victory. In the weeks since, I vacillated back and forth between staunch belief in my pro-Pats position and fundamentally questioning its validity.
The Giants will walk into University of Phoenix Stadium on Sunday as heavy underdogs, but don't think they can't pull off an upset. In fact, don't be surprised if they do. The Giants took the Patriots to the brink of defeat when the two teams met on December 29th.
Jessica Griffen / The Dartmouth Staff Men's Basketball League play hits full swing this week for the men's basketball team.
Super Bowl weekend -- the greatest spectacle in sports -- is finally upon us. The Super Bowl is an event that encapsulates the American dream -- passion, hope, hard work, cheerleaders, pigs in a blanket, etc. In fact, perhaps the only competitive contest that could eclipse the Bowl would be a Royal Rumble-style cage match between all the presidential candidates juiced up on HGH.
Kasia Vincunas / The Dartmouth Staff Dartmouth's men's tennis team began the winter season with a scrimmage against No.
Phil Woram / The Dartmouth Staff Dartmouth men's basketball is now 7-8 after a three-game winning streak (I still refuse to count beating Daniel Webster College, despite what the Dartmouth College Athletic Department tries to say). For a program that has a great deal of history, with four consecutive NCAA appearances from 1941-4 followed by three more appearances from 1956-9, the Big Green has fallen on hard times in the past half-century. Yet it appears there is hope.
Dartmouth's men's and women's swimming and diving teams could not keep up with Princeton in a meet in Hanover last Sunday.
Jessica Griffen / The Dartmouth Staff Dartmouth women's hockey suffered a disappointing 0-4 loss to nationally top-ranked Harvard on Sunday. It was the second shutout loss of the year for Dartmouth (11-7-3, 8-5-1 ECAC) and it came at the hands of one of Harvard's strongest performances of the season.
Jennie Post / The Dartmouth Staff With one second left in regulation against American International College, Jon Grecu '08 scored his second goal of the game to tie things up for Dartmouth men's hockey at 3-3 on Sunday night.
