UNH tops Big Green volleyball in first home contest

By Ben Reed | September 24, 2004

Despite a host of new faces on the court Wednesday night, the Dartmouth volleyball team reminded the home crowd of many of last season's losses, dropping two painfully close games in a 3-0 loss to in-state rival UNH at Leede Arena (30-21, 31-29, 30-28). With four freshmen in the starting lineup, the new Big Green (1-7) overcame a sluggish start to play a very competitive match but committed a number of costly errors and lost the battle at the net to the bigger Wildcats (4-7), mustering just a .098 hitting percentage as the ladies in green were outblocked 13-2. In the first game, UNH was able to stretch a 22-18 lead into a comfortable 30-21 win.

By Steven Orbuch | August 10, 2004

Team Theta Delt was crowned champion of the first ever Grab Life By the Ball charity dodgeball tournament held in Leede Arena on Friday evening. The Theta Delta Chi fraternity squad defeated a team comprised of members from Gamma Delta Chi fraternity, capping off an event that hosted over 25 six-person teams. The tournament's rules stuck close to those laid out in Ben Stiller's summer blockbuster "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story," organizers said. Tournament organizers also indicated that they were pleased with the event that raised over $1,000 for the United Way. "From what I saw, it was a big success," said Phi Delta Alpha fraternity president Dino Hall '06, who was one of the main organizers of the tournament. Chi Heorot fraternity member Seb Ruiz '06 attended the event and remarked that he was impressed that the "spectators were really into the tournament." "It was pretty heated," Ruiz said.

Point -- Boston can't do without their star

By Steven Orbuch | August 3, 2004

Don't expect the A-Rod effect to play out in Boston. Unlike the Texas Rangers, who significantly improved when they dealt their superstar shortstop, the Red Sox traded away their shot at post-season success when the team sent away all-star shortstop Nomar Garciaparra to the Cubs for Doug Mientkiewicz and Orlando Cabrera.
