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.

New start with men's Ivy opener

By Brad Limpert | September 27, 2002

It is not often that a team gets a clean slate three weeks into its season, but that is exactly what the Dartmouth men's soccer team is looking forward to this weekend as it travels to Princeton University to open its Ivy League campaign. The Big Green (0-4 overall, 0-0 Ivy) is looking to get its first win of the year against a Tigers squad that's off to a similarly rough start (1-2-2, 0-0). Needless to say, the first three weeks of the 2002 season have not gone according to plan for the Dartmouth men.

Big Green women's soccer welcomes first home match

By Keil Hur | September 27, 2002

It has been a disappointing year for the Big Green women's soccer team. The team is struggling despite eight starters and 16 letter-winners returning from one of the most successful campaigns in its history, one that led the squad to an NCAA tournament berth last year. A series of tough losses against 16th-ranked Virginia and 23rd-ranked division rival Princeton have dropped the Big Green's record to 2-3-1 overall and 0-1-1 in the Ivy League. As the team dropped important matches, its ranking dropped as well; ranked No.

Streaky Big Green take Terriers by surprise at MIT

By Dan Weinberg | September 25, 2002

Rebekka Stucker '04 lifted the Dartmouth field hockey team over Boston University, 3-2, by scoring her first goal of the season with just 4:40 left in Monday afternoon's match at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Stucker was able to put the ball home thanks to an assist from Lauren Welsh '03, following a scramble for the ball that resulted from a Dartmouth corner. Stucker was the Ivy League's third-leading point producer in 2001 with 12 goals and four assists but has had a hard time finding the touch that helped make that possible.

College students and alumni are often among sports' elite

By Adam Small | September 16, 2002

The Ivy League hasn't been known for its athletic prowess in years. The once mighty league doesn't get mentioned by Chris Berman during the NFL Draft marathon, Charles Barkley doesn't make strange jokes about it for the NBA Draft and the Florida Marlins aren't selling off anyone who went to school in the league.

Athletics are an integral part of Dartmouth history

By Adam Small | September 16, 2002

Athletics have been a way of life at Dartmouth College for years. In the days prior to the founding of the Ivy League, Dartmouth made frequent trips to college athletics' biggest forums, including trips to the NCAA Men's Basketball Final Four in 1942 and 1944. Since joining the Ivy League in 1956, Dartmouth has won 105 Ivy League championships in varsity sports and has created a strong legacy in league history.
