Fiedler '94 stars in dramatic Dolphin victory

By Christopher LaForgia | October 16, 2002

Jay Fiedler '94, after breaking his thumb with less than four minutes left, led the Miami Dolphins from behind to defeat the Denver Broncos 24-22. The win quiets the doubters of Fiedler as he won possibly his biggest NFL game and put the Dolphins record to 5-1. Peter King of "Sports Illustrated" said the game was "was an instant classic," and "should go down as one of the best games ever played." The players felt the same way.

Freshman star leads golfers

By Jason Edgar | October 11, 2002

One-hit wonder? Think again. Chaki Kobayashi '06 continued his inspired play of recent weeks, posting a 73-76 -- 149 to lead the Dartmouth men's golf team to a seventh-place finish at the Army Invitational. Kobayashi once again rode his exceptional touch around the greens to success, placing 10th individually. "I really hit the ball terribly [this weekend] but got up and down from everywhere," the freshman said on Monday. Kobayashi hinted that his best is yet to come, responding wishfully, "I just can't wait until my ball-striking comes around, because then I know I will go really low." The Big Green men will certainly settle for the brilliance he has displayed on the course thus far.

Potent Big Green aerial attack looks to overwhelm Yale

By Elliot Olshansky | October 11, 2002

Call them the Big Green Party Crashers. Last October, with a winless Big Green team coming into the Yale Bowl to take on an undefeated Bulldog squad, the contest capping off Yale's Tercentennial Weekend looked to be a celebration on the field to match the celebration off of it. That notion was, in time, put to rest, as Dartmouth quarterback Greg Smith '02 threw for 407 yards and tied a Yale Bowl record with five touchdown passes to lead the Big Green to a 32-27 victory, raining on the Bulldogs' Tercentennial parade in the process. The Bulldogs never quite recovered from the loss, and finished the 2001 season with a 3-6 record, tying Dartmouth for last in the Ivy League with a 1-6 conference mark. One year later, Dartmouth (0-3, 0-1 Ivy) is in a similar position, as the Green will once again take on an undefeated Yale squad (3-0, 1-0 Ivy). This time, however, the men in Green will be playing within the friendly confines of Memorial Field, as they look once again to end Yale's undefeated streak, and put the first notch in their own win column. For their part, the Bulldogs are likely still fuming from last year's loss, and will be looking for revenge as they roll into Hanover, fresh off of a 28-19 win over Holy Cross last Saturday at the Yale Bowl, their 11th consecutive non-conference win since 1998. Despite their early season success, the Bulldogs come into Saturday's game with a glaring weakness: their passing game.

Sox Disappoint in AL, A's Look Golden

By Keil Hur | October 4, 2002

Following a truly exciting World Series and a tumultuous off-season that threatened to contract two teams, it was more of the same in the American League East marked by absolute mediocrity of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, absolute disappointment of the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees splurging on overpaid talents to win another division title. In all fairness to the Yankees, their high-price acquisitions, such as Raul Mondesi, Rondell White and John Vander Wal, were far less than scintillating.

Romera Doubles Up Northeastern While Terriers Can't Crack Carr

By Dan Weinberg | October 4, 2002

Juan Romera '03 knocked in a pair of goals, including the game winner in double overtime to give the Dartmouth men's soccer team a 2-1 victory over Northeastern on Wednesday at Parsons Field in Boston, Mass. Dartmouth improves to (2-4-0, 1-0-0 Ivy), while the Huskies now stand at 3-5-2 overall and have yet to a play a conference game in the America East. The Big Green has won two-straight overtime matches after losing two in a row of the sort to begin the 2002 season. With just two minutes and 17 seconds left to avoid the unsatisfying prospect of a tie, Zach Schwartz '02 sent a cross to Romera at the far post, who headed it past Northeastern keeper Sergio Saccoccio. The clincher marked Dartmouth's third goal in five games. "I suppose as far as offensive spark goes, we've had a lot of them in all of our games, we just haven't had a flame yet," Romera said. "Today the team worked hard to put it all together and get that flame." Behind one-nil at the half, the Big Green came out with a vengeance, scoring before five minutes had expired in the second half. Romera scored on a sliding shot off a feed from Princeton's worst nightmare, Rob Daly '04, to even the score at one apiece. "The first goal I scored was almost entirely Rob Daly's doing," Romera said. "He beat his defender and lured the goalie out and unselfishly slid it across the goal for an easy tap in for me." Northeastern scored the game's first goal, the only ball to beat goalkeeper Doug Carr '03 all day.

Big Green Needs Perfection for Penn

By Elliot Olshansky | October 4, 2002

To the casual observer, it would seem that this season's incarnation of the Big Green football team (0-2, 0-0 Ivy) is very similar to last season's, as the Dartmouth men have lost each of their first two games in the closing minutes. However, according to several members of head coach John Lyons' squad, such an observer would be wrong on two counts, as this year's squad is hardly similar to last year's, and neither game, according to preseason All-American tight end Casey Cramer '04, was lost in the final minutes. "I don't think that the first two games were lost in the last few minutes," Cramer said.

OT Pays

Women's tennis impressive in season opener

By Mark Sweeney | October 3, 2002

The Dartmouth women's tennis team jumped out to a terrific start in its 2002 fall season by posting numerous outstanding results in last weekend's Quinnipiac Invitational. In the singles A flight, the Big Green simply dominated the rest of the field, placing two Dartmouth players in the finals of that division.

Men's racketeers down Ivy foes at Yale Invitational

By Stu Adam | October 3, 2002

The Big Green's men racketeers have proven themselves a force of contention in the ECAC and the Ivy League after a strong performance at the Yale Invitational over the weekend. While Mother Nature demonstrates her omnipotence by dropping temperatures in the New England area and subsequently changing deciduous tree leaves to magnificent autumn reds, oranges and yellows, the thinking man resultantly understands the futility of his struggles against forces greater than himself.
