Dartmouth rugger takes the field with nation's best

By Conlan | February 15, 2006

While most Dartmouth students were enjoying Winter Carnival weekend, one Dartmouth senior was representing his country thousands of miles away -- and not in Torino. Last weekend Dartmouth rugby football club co-captain and collegiate All-American Joe Killefer '06 earned his first cap playing for the United States National Rugby Team in the USA Sevens Tournament at The Home Depot Center in Los Angeles, Calif. The tournament featured sides from five different continents and boasted rugby powerhouses England, New Zealand, South Africa and Argentina, among others. Killefer first saw action in the final minutes of a 45-0 loss to eventual tournament champion England.

Ski team takes third at weekend carnival

By Jean Polfus | February 13, 2006

Jennifer Wang / The Dartmouth Staff Although the Dartmouth ski team put forth a strong effort in all four events this weekend, the University of Vermont won its fourth consecutive Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association (EISA) carnival at the Dartmouth Winter Carnival. Two wins by the women's Nordic team and strong results by the men's Nordic and alpine teams had Dartmouth tied for first place after the first day of competition, but the Catamounts came back on Saturday to dominate in the slalom and win the final team standings with 815 points.

Club Corner

By Ben Reed | February 13, 2006

The Dartmouth men's club volleyball team began its divisionals season Saturday at Northeastern University with matches against the University of New Hamsphire, Northeastern and the University of Vermont. After a disappointing 25-18, 25-20 loss to in-state rival UNH, the Big Green improved its play in a hard-fought 25-20, 25-20 loss to a talented Northeastern squad on its home court. Dartmouth concluded the afternoon competition on a positive note, downing a scrappy Vermont Catamounts team 25-21, 25-23. The Big Green received strong performances throughout the day from outside hitter/middle blocker David Ansdell '06, rookie outside hitter Eric Lauritsen '09 and outside hitter Adam Wilk '06. Veteran libero Nathan Zwintscher '03 also put forth a solid defensive effort that included a game-saving dig on the winning point against UVM with the Catamounts threatening to tie the game at 24. The Big Green returns to action in Interdivisional competition next weekend at Yale University.

On the hockey side, seniors Gillian Apps, Cherie Piper and Katie Weatherston will throw their collective muscle behind Team Canada, while the United States will be represented by Kristin King '02 and Sarah Parsons '09.

Women's basketball on the road to Ivy League sweep

By Jennifer Yu | February 9, 2006

Asafu Suzuki / The Dartmouth Staff Two teams stand in the way of a perfect sweep through the first round of Ivy League competition for the Dartmouth women's basketball team: the University of Pennsylvania (3-15, 1-4 Ivy) and Princeton (13-5, 4-1 Ivy). This weekend is crucial for the Big Green (14-4, 5-0 Ivy). If Dartmouth can knock off both opponents in their home gyms, another Ivy League championship title and an NCAA Tournament bid might not be very far down the road.

Matt Hasselbeck has got to be the most boring quarterback since Trent Dilfer.
