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

|

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

|

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

|

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.

Big Green women's hockey trounces rivals Colgate, Cornell

|

The Big Green women's hockey team made things interesting this weekend, coming home from New York with another pair of wins and a still-undefeated record on the season. Thanks to Cherie Piper '06's game-winning goal with six minutes remaining in the second period, Dartmouth (7-0, 6-0 ECACHL) squeaked out a 4-3 victory over Colgate (4-6, 0-3 ECACHL) on Friday night in Starr Rink. Krista Dornfried '05 and Gillian Apps '06 quickly put the Big Green up by a pair late in the first frame, but what seemed like another blowout victory turned into a much tougher contest.

Signs of brilliance shone Saturday

|

Call off the FBI. Stop combing the area. It appears men's hockey coach Bob Gaudet has finally found some line combinations that work. After coping with the season-ending injury to star winger Hugh Jessiman '06, many of the Big Green faithfuls were becoming fed up with the inconsistent play of the makeshift lines thrown on the ice. But Saturday night at Thompson Arena, it all finally seemed to click.
