Dartmouth and Princeton get defensive in 0-0 draw

By Steven Orbuch | October 5, 2004

The Dartmouth men's soccer squad (2-1-4 overall, 0-0-1 Ivy) battled the Princeton Tigers (4-2-2 overall, 0-0-1 Ivy) to a scoreless draw, in a contact-filled, defense-dominated double overtime thriller at Lourie-Love Field in New Jersey Saturday. After a season-opening loss to Cal State-Northridge, the Big Green has now extended its undefeated streak to six games. Saturday's game was marked by a rash of fouls -- Dartmouth registered 21 to Princeton's 25 -- and physical play in the game's most pivotal moments, most notably a 70th-minute tangle-up involving Princeton junior midfielder Ben Young and Dartmouth defender Oliver Harker-Smith '05. As Young surged toward the Dartmouth penalty box on a through ball, he was tripped by Smith, which resulted in a Big Green yellow card. Controversy arose when the referee determined the spot of the foul to be outside of the box.

Great AL stadiums: Yankee Stadium's rich tradition and winning history make it the premier place to watch a game

By Dana LaMendola | September 30, 2004

My father always says, "I'm Catholic, my wife is Jewish and my kids are Yankees fans." Therefore, it's understandable that in my eyes Yankee Stadium is the holiest of places. Be in 1993 watching Melido Perez pitch miserably for us, or screaming endlessly in Game Two of the 1999 AL Championship Series (Bostonians, I'm sure, can recall that result), every time I venture into the Stadium is truly a spiritual experience.
