Princess Layout heads to Nationals

|

Dartmouth's ultimate teams had a full schedule the last weekend of April, with the men's and women's A-teams playing at regionals in Portsmouth, R.I., and the B-teams playing at Williams College. The women displayed a dominant level of skill at regionals, defeating Brown 15-5 in the finals to secure the top seed from the region to College Nationals, and the men came excruciatingly close to securing a Nationals bid in a 15-14 nail-biter against Harvard. The women, who came to Regionals uncertain of their standing vis--vis some of the other top teams in the region, left with a strong confidence in their abilities, after thrashing the competition on both days. Their strength was epitomized by their Sunday game against Brown, as Princess Layout -- the women's A-team -- shut down Brown's offense and shredded its zone defense in what was widely regarded as Dartmouth's best performance of the season. The team's finals win was spearheaded by stellar defensive efforts from co-captain Lorraine Ferron '05 and Lakshmi Narayan '06, rock-solid handling from co-captain Brooking Gatewood '05 and a seemingly perpetual deep threat from Ariel Dowling '05.

Greeks combat apathy at sporting events

|

Some members of Dartmouth sports teams often see more faces in the crowd at their Saturday night pong games than at their Saturday afternoon Division 1 athletic contests. To combat this perceived imbalance, the Greek Leadership Council, the Interfraternity Council, the Panhellenic Council and others have been working on ways to employ popular Greek events to boost attendance at games. Two members of Alpha Phi Alpha have spearheaded the crowd-boosting efforts.

Women's rugby club ramshackles Army by 50 points

|

The Dartmouth women's rugby club took on Army this weekend for the second time this season. The last time the two teams met, during the first weekend of the spring season, it was an intense match-up and the sequel was more of the same. However, after some aggressive play from both squads, the Dartmouth squad emerged victorious by a whopping 50 points. Army's forwards controlled play in the first minutes of game, but soon the DWRC adjusted and began committing more forwards to contact.

DRFC survives marathon week

|

The rain was hammering Sachem field Thursday afternoon as the Dartmouth B-side kicked off against the University of New Brunswick B-side. This early game resulted in a disappointing 31-0 Dartmouth loss. However as the clouds parted the sun and rugby gods seemed to smile upon the Men in Green. In the A-side match the DRFC opened with a relentless, dynamic attack that gave them a quick 17-0 lead. An early penalty kick by fullback Andrew Caspary '06 began the day for the Dartmouth offensive machine, which scored 39 points on the afternoon. Following the New Brunswick kickoff, Jarred Hyatt '06 picked up a spectacular poach that was quickly spun out to fly half Jesse Blom '06 and fed to crashing center Scott Penner '06 for the try and conversion by Caspary. The next Dartmouth score came as New Brunswick was pinned down on its own five-meter. Prop Brad "Cheese" Fierstein '06 shot up from the Dartmouth defensive line like a portly lightning bolt picking off the pass from the UNB flyhalf to its center.
