Sailors end season with strong regatta performances

By James Lamb | November 20, 2002

A successful fall season characterized by dedication, perseverance and heart came to an end for the Dartmouth sailing team as the Big Green sailors competed in championship regattas over the past two weekends. Powerful performances in earlier qualifying regattas earned Dartmouth a berth in the respective Atlantic Coast Championships for the freshmen and women's teams.

Big Green takes on Bears for potential share of Ivy title

By Brad Limpert | November 15, 2002

The men's soccer team has only one thing left to do during its regular season campaign, and that is to take care of Brown. For the second time in three years, all the chips get placed on the table as Dartmouth (8-7-1, 4-1-1 Ivy) and Brown (5-7-4, 1-3-2 Ivy) meet with the Ivy League title still on the line. Unlike two years ago, however, Brown has no shot at the championship.

Football records in the balance against winless Brown

By Elliot Olshansky | November 15, 2002

This season, Memorial Field has seen its share of exciting action, as all of the Big Green football team's home games have been decided by eight or fewer points. In fact, the action on the field has been rivaled only by the action in the stands, which has included the antics of a moose mascot, the screams of nine shirtless fans braving 30-degree Homecoming weather and the Dartmouth College Marching Band's new arrangement of the theme from "Back to the Future." That music will be truly appropriate this week, as Dartmouth (3-5, 2-3 Ivy) will be looking to go "back to the future" and recapture the form the team had earlier in the season, as Dartmouth enjoyed its first three-game winning streak since 1997 and looked ready to close the door on the difficulties that plagued the team over the last four years. According to defensive tackle Matt DeGutes '03, the key to a Dartmouth victory this Saturday over the Brown Bears (0-8, 0-5 Ivy) lies in the team's attitude. "We came out last week [against Cornell] with a desire to not lose," DeGutes said.

Green looks for more magic vs. Cornell and Colgate

By Dan Weinberg | November 15, 2002

Last season, when Dartmouth hosted Cornell and Colgate on Feb. 15 and 16, Jamie Herrington '02 generated enough electricity to power the Granite State with a pair of breath-taking, game-winning goals. This time around, the season is young and so is the Dartmouth team.

Women's rugby club earns national tournament berth

By Annie Snider | November 14, 2002

This past weekend, the Dartmouth Women's Rugby Club started out with a 33-5 loss to Vassar but showed tremendous resilience by bouncing back to defeat Amherst 29-0 and earn a berth to the National Tournament in the spring. The Vassar game started out on a good note for Dartmouth, as second-row Amanda Behm '04 came out firing and nearly ran through the ball carrier on the first tackle of the game. Energized, the DWRC drove down the field to the Vassar try-line but couldn't capitalize.

Men's tennis turns in singles, doubles wins at home

By Stu Adam | November 13, 2002

When debating which word in the English language best describes the Dartmouth men's tennis team's performance over the past weekend, the first and most logical choice is "domination." The players' fall season culminated with glorious results that are hopefully indicative of success in the winter and spring Ivy League seasons. The Green played host to its very own invitational tournament in the last individual event for Dartmouth before the team season kicks off this winter, where players will have the added pressure of the head-to-head format. In all, 48 players showed up on Saturday morning from various bastions of academic pursuit, including Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Boston College, Rutgers, Colgate, the University of New Hampshire and Brown.

Women's soccer battling Penn for Ivy title at home

By Keil Hur | November 8, 2002

While the end of the regular season means the end of the year -- and a farewell party for the seniors -- for hundreds of women's college soccer teams around the nation, Dartmouth faces a different kind of a game in its regular-season finale against University of Pennsylvania on Saturday. With a victory against Penn (6-6-3 overall, 2-1-3 Ivy League), the Dartmouth women's soccer team, standing 12-3-1 overall and 5-1-0 among the Ancient Eight, has a chance to win the Ivy League crown, which it would share with the Princeton Tigers (13-2-0 overall, 6-1-0 Ivy League) who have already clinched at least a share of the title. Penn has allowed an average of 1.76 goals per game and its goalies have stopped only 71.1 percent of shots on goal. Penn's offense, however, has been strong throughout the season, led by the stellar performance of sophomore Katy Cross, who has a commanding lead on the Ivy League scoring chart with 13 goals and 30 points in 14 games. This is a repeat performance of last year's incredible rookie season for Cross, leading the Ivy League in points (34), goals (12) and assists (10) in the 2001 campaign, all three marks a school single-season record.

Men's soccer fights for a berth

By Brad Limpert | November 8, 2002

Apparently the Dartmouth men's soccer team doesn't like to do anything the easy way. After getting their heads above water for the first time all season (five consecutive wins upped the team's record to 7-6-1), the men took a step back on Tuesday with a disappointing overtime loss to Maine. Now the Big Green finds itself right back in the same do-or-die situation where it's been for the last four weeks.

Swift start for Big Green swimmers

By Ben Cassady and Noah Zandan | November 8, 2002

This past Homecoming weekend, the Dartmouth men's swim team went up to Sherbrooke, Canada for the annual Can-Am Invitational. With 758 points, the Big Green seamen outdistanced the University of Montreal, McGill University and the University of Laval, as well as four other Canadian teams. "Our depth kept us in the meet and our relays won it for us," head coach Jim Wilson proclaimed. "Dartmouth's mission in Sherbrooke was simple: To dominate the Canadian teams, represent Dartmouth to its fullest being Homecoming weekend and prove to ourselves the talent we have this year," captain Paul Schned '03 said. Last weekend's meet marked an exciting beginning to the men's swimming season and a drastic improvement from last year's team. This year's team returns three seniors: co-captains Schned and Louis Fidel and powerhouse Louis Trotman.

Sailors weather competition and cold during road trip

The Dartmouth sailing team was back in action over the weekend competing in men's, women's and mixed regattas from the far reaches of Saint Mary's College of Maryland to the cold waters of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. As the weather in the Northeast gets increasingly worse this time of year, the sailors are finding more and more challenging conditions in which to race.

Young guns face off in best match of weekend's Invite

By Mark Sweeney | November 7, 2002

No single match over the course of the weekend equaled the tension, intrigue and emotion of the semifinal match in the doubles tournament, which pitted the second-seeded Dartmouth duo of Jayne Ahmed '05 and Katie Jaxheimer '06 against the Boston University team of Elena deMendoza and Alana Marcu. The match was characterized by Ahmed and Jaxheimer managing to dig themselves into considerable holes, only to resurrect their chances time and time again by capturing the most critical of points.

"It's really great to start off with a win like the one tonight," Haggard said after the game, "This is what we are going to need to be successful this year." The women's hockey team is considered to be one of the best athletic teams at Dartmouth.
