Homecoming '06: Football loses, Dartmouth wins

By Evan J. Meyerson | October 16, 2006

It was 7:30 p.m. on Friday night. Walking with my girlfriend, Jeannie, to Food Court from her dorm room in the Choates (she's a UGA, I swear), we could tell there was something unusual in the air other than the pleasant briskness of a fall evening at Dartmouth.

Dartmouth Football to face Holy Cross Saturday afternoon

By William Schpero | October 13, 2006

Members of the Dartmouth Big Green Football team, invoking their 2006 motto "Bringing it Back," hope to defeat Holy Cross at the Homecoming game Saturday. Seniors on the team want their final Homecoming game to end with a victory. "Really, we just want a win," Joe Gibalski '07, a linebacker for Big Green, said. Football games, now a staple of Homecoming weekend at Dartmouth, once had a less prominent role.

Dartmouth was outshot 14-2 in the second half as Holy Cross overcame a 1-0 deficit to win 2-1 in overtime.

Late-game heroics lift Crusaders to overtime win over Big Green

By Jordan Rose | October 11, 2006

Asafu Suzuki / The Dartmouth Staff Despite some strong play in the latter half of regulation, the Dartmouth field hockey team suffered a tough loss Monday evening, falling to Holy Cross 2-1 in overtime at Scully-Fahey field. During the seven-on-seven overtime frame, the Crusaders (10-3) held the ball in the Big Green end before Tara Welch picked up a ball in front of the cage in the 18th minute and fired her 12th shot of the contest past a diving Ashley Heist '08 to secure a Holy Cross victory. The game was played evenly for the first 70 minutes, but the stalemate was due more to a lack of execution on the part of both squads, especially in the first half.

Men's soccer won an overtime nailbiter against Yale that kept the Big Green in the Ivy League title hunt.

Sailing team divides and still conquers competition

By James W. Attridge | October 10, 2006

This weekend spread the Big Green sailors from the murky waters of Boston to the beautiful shores of Annapolis, testing the team's grit and drive in a mix of big breeze and light wind. Dartmouth sent a veteran team of Kate Hacker '07, Killarney Loufek '07, Betsy Bryant '08, Andrew Loe '06, Erik Storck '07 and Ben Sampson '08 to the Coast Guard Academy for the Hap Moore Team Race. Dartmouth's experience paid off, as the Big Green finished with 13 wins and three losses, good for second in a field of 12 of the nation's best teams.
