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

By James Lamb | November 7, 2002

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.

Golden boy returns with golden goal in Big Green win

By Brad Limpert | October 30, 2002

In the words of the Grateful Dead, the Big Green just keeps truckin' on. The men's soccer team (6-6-1) extended its winning streak to four and is now unbeaten in its last five games after a gritty 1-0 victory yesterday afternoon against Holy Cross (10-4-1). Dartmouth entered the game prepared for a dog-fight, and that's exactly what it got from a tough Holy Cross team that was nationally-ranked until the last few weeks. The Big Green benefited from the fact the Crusaders were playing on only one day's rest after a postponement pushed their game against Army back to Sunday. The Big Green, however, was battered in its own right and was forced to go at it without the services of co-captain Matt Miller '03. Miller sat out Tuesday's game with a knee injury, though the team was relieved to see X-ray results come back negative, making it likely that Miller will be back to anchor the midfield on Sunday. While Dartmouth controlled play for most of the first half, the team looked like it was having trouble adjusting to the field.

Men's Soccer: Break the Big City Curse to Break the Tie

By Brad Limpert | October 25, 2002

On a roll, the Dartmouth men's soccer team is heading south for a Saturday showdown with Columbia, and while the team may be getting itself into a New York state of mind, it's certain that revenge will be on the mind of the Big Green veterans when they take the field tomorrow afternoon. Two years ago, Dartmouth saw its hopes for an Ivy League title vanish when the Lions pulled off a shocking upset on their home turf. Now, the Big Green (4-6-1, 1-1-1 Ivy) and Lions (6-4-1, 1-1-1 Ivy) are tied for third, which makes tomorrow's match-up a crucial one.

Women's Soccer: Green Puts Streak, Ivy Rank on the Line

The Big Green (9-3-1 overall, 3-1-0 Ivy League) currently sits second in the Ivy League standings behind unbeaten Princeton.

Men's Ice Hockey: Get Out the Shotguns, It's Hockey Season

By Dan Weinberg | October 25, 2002

For those of you who can't wait any longer or just need something to get your mind off the grind, consider yourself lucky that the Dartmouth men's hockey team returns to action tonight. The Big Green steps onto the ice here at Thompson Arena for an exhibition match against the University of Guelph at 7 p.m. The visiting Gryphons hail from Ontario, Canada, which you probably could have guessed at if you considered their take on what would otherwise be the "Griffins." Mutated eagle-lion freaks from hell aside, Guelph should be able to put a young home team to work. "They're gonna have 26-year-olds going against our 18-year-old guys, but it will be a good contest for us, get used to playing some real hockey," co-captain Trevor Byrne '03 said. The nine Dartmouth freshmen will get their first taste of college hockey, and probably a fair amount of playing time, as Coach Bob Gaudet '81 tweaks the eventual lines for the regular season. "My hope is that we get to see most, if not all, of the young players play," Gaudet said.
