Minnesota and Moss battle Eagles, destiny on Sunday

By Alex Friedman | January 13, 2005

Allow this writer to hearken back to the days of yore -- 1998, to be precise -- when the football gods came down and manifested themselves as the Minnesota Vikings offense. That was the year that Minnesota, led by Randall Cunningham, rookie sensation Randy Moss, Cris Carter, John Randle and many others, went 15-1, shattering the single season team point total while surrendering the fifth fewest points in the league. At the same time, Gary Anderson established a league record by making every single field goal in the regular season, logging 40 in a row in the 1997-8 season. They should have easily made it to the Super Bowl that year, where I guarantee that they would have dispatched the Denver Broncos handily.

Suspicions of steroid abuse tarnish homerun king's reign

By Dana LaMendola | January 12, 2005

With the recent release of Yankee slugger Jason Giambi's grand jury testimony against the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative (BALCO), Major League Baseball has found itself in a heated controversy over the prevalence of steroids among the league's top players. Naturally, one cannot help but place San Francisco Giant and current single-season homerun record holder Barry Bonds at the top of the most-juiced list. Since his 1986 MLB debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Bonds has hit over .300 in 11 seasons and earned 12 All-Star appearances.

By Jennifer Yu | January 12, 2005

This past week has been a successful venture for Dartmouth athletes -- for their outstanding performances, Big Green competitors were honored with several prestigious awards. Elise Morrison, the sophomore center of the Women's Basketball team and last year's Ivy League Rookie of the Year, received her second Ivy League Player of the Week honor after contributing 17 points and 13 rebounds to Dartmouth's 73-70 overtime victory over Harvard on Saturday. Earlier this season, the starting center recorded 29 points and 10 rebounds in a game against Hartford and recorded a double-double against Harvard, Hartford and UIC.

Women's hockey starts the new year off with a bang

By Lei Hao | January 5, 2005

To cap off an exciting winter break and start the new year, the Dartmouth women's hockey team dropped a perfect 10-spot against visiting Providence College on Sunday afternoon at Thompson Arena en route to a 10-2 victory. After collecting three weeks of restful dust over Christmas and New Year's, the second-ranked Big Green (12-1-0) was quick to shake it off on the second day of the year against the Friars (8-5-3). Dartmouth scored three times in the first nine minutes of the game, led by Cherie Piper '06, who had four goals and one assist in the game.

Pattman '07 quits basketball team

By Ben Zimmerman | December 11, 2004

WEB UPDATE, Dec. 11, 1:09 a.m. In a decision that is likely to affect Dartmouth athletics for years to come, Leon Pattman '07 has quit the Big Green men's basketball team. Only nine months earlier, the 6-foot-2 lefty from Memphis, Tennessee was named Ivy League rookie of the year, averaging 13.2 points and 4.4 rebounds per game despite a painful groin injury toward the season's end. One of the few bright spots in a season marred by the firing of 13-year head coach Dave Faucher, Pattman was a burst of excitement for the 3-25 Big Green. Armed with a smooth 15-foot jump shot that easily extends beyond the three-point line, Pattman quickly distinguished himself as the College's most dynamic scorer.

Strong individual performances highlight swim, dive road meets

By Katelyn McCarthy | November 23, 2004

This weekend marked the two-year anniversary of the College's unexpected swim team cut. It was only appropriate, then, that the Dartmouth women's swim and dive team would celebrate by traveling up and down the East Coast, road tripping to face tough Ivy League opponents Brown and Columbia. Kristin Simunovich '06 led the way in the first meet on Saturday against Brown, with a third-place finish in the 50-yard freestyle in a time of 25.53.
