|

The Big Green men's soccer team started its defense of last year's Ivy League title with a hard-fought and well-earned 1-0 overtime defeat of the Princeton Tigers at Chase Field. The Tigers (3-4-1, 0-1-0 Ivy), who finished second to Dartmouth in the 2004 Ivy League standings, never looked like they stood a chance and were lucky not to concede in the first half.

Big Green and Wildcats to battle in annual Granite Bowl

|

Admittedly, the Granite Bowl does not hold the same prestige as the Rose Bowl. Yet, for the first time in recent memory, the battle for New Hampshire this Saturday will feature two undefeated football teams both vying for a second consecutive victory. The University of New Hampshire Wildcats, ranked second in all of Division I-AA, will look to squelch the newfound momentum of a Dartmouth team coming off their first season-opening triumph in eight years. Having lost the past two Granite Bowls by a combined 46 points, Dartmouth's quest for a 2-0 start will not be a walk in the park.

Women's volleyball defeats UNH, improves to 5-3

|

On Tuesday night the Dartmouth women's volleyball team showed what a difference a year can make. The ladies in green emerged victorious from a back-and-forth, five-game, 144-minute marathon against in-state rival UNH in Durham (30-28, 30-32, 30-27, 26-30, 15-13). The win helped to erase memories of a dismal 1-7 start to 2004 that was capped by a three-game loss to the same Wildcats of UNH. With the victory, the Big Green improves to 5-3, just one win shy of the team's entire 2004 total of six victories.
