Sans Nardella, title-hungry men's icers bound for Provy

By David Sherzer | February 7, 2002

A little rest and some clarity -- that is what this weekend will provide for the Dartmouth men's hockey team. The Big Green has a rare one-game slate this weekend, taking on Brown in an important Ivy League and ECAC affair tomorrow night in Providence. The one gamer will give the team an extra day of rest to mend some of its bruises and will also help the typically chaotic ECAC standings come more into focus. Dartmouth (10-8-4, 7-4-4 ECAC) currently has 18 points and is tied for second place with Harvard and Clarkson -- five points behind Cornell -- but the Big Green and Crimson have played 15 games, while the other 10 teams in the league have played only 14. This weekend, Dartmouth and Harvard each play once while the other 10 play twice, which will level out the games-played category and help everyone -- the title-seeking Big Green included -- know where they stand. "This weekend may add clarity in terms of which teams are near the top of the standings and which are near the bottom," co-captain Mike Maturo '02 said.

"The other nine nominees are great players," she added.

Women in Southern N.E.

By Morgan Cain | February 1, 2002

The Dartmouth women's basketball team (5-11, 1-2 Ivy) is a road team if there ever was one. All five of the Dartmouth's wins have come in the unfriendly confines of other gymnasiums, and this weekend it hopes to add two more as the Big Green women continue their Ivy League campaign at Yale and at Brown. January was not a kind month to the women, who have been 1-5 since the New Year.

Opponents Not as Good as They Look

By Elliot Olshansky | February 1, 2002

It would be easy to look at the Ivy League records of Yale and Brown and jump to the conclusion that the Big Green men's basketball team is in for a long weekend in Leede Arena. Both the Bulldogs and the Bears are 3-1, while Dartmouth is 0-4.

ECAC Rematches Galore

By David Sherzer | February 1, 2002

Same teams, different venue. The Dartmouth men's hockey team will look to have equal, or greater, success against the same opponents it faced last weekend when Rensselaer and Union invade Thompson Arena tonight and tomorrow. The Big Green (9-8-3, 6-4-3 ECAC) earned three of four points against the Albany-based squads last weekend, tying Union, 3-3, Friday night before staging a dramatic comeback to double up RPI, 4-2, last Saturday. Coming off the successful weekend, the team is confident and looking to defend its home ice. "The team has been in a good mood all week due to the positive games we had last weekend," forward Gary Hunter '02.

Anatomy of a Rivalry

By Sammy Kardon | February 1, 2002

Rivalries in pro and college sports are conceived and born in many different ways. Some are geographic (Mets-Yankees), some are based on a long history (Harvard-Yale) and some come about because both teams happen to very good at the same time (Celtics-Lakers). Rivalries are at their most intense when both teams are at the top of their sport.

Women's hockey has sights set on Final Four bid

By Kim McCullough | January 29, 2002

The ultimate decision of whether the Dartmouth Women's hockey team receives a bid to the Final Four down at the University of New Hampshire on the weekend of March 23 remains largely out of our control. Even if we were to win the remainder of our games, clinch the Ivy League title and win the ECAC Northern championship and tournament, we would not necessarily be guaranteed a spot in the NCAA championship.

'Test of Progression' In Beantown Meets

By Rawson Daniel | January 25, 2002

Coming off an impressive performance at home in Leverone Fieldhouse last weekend, the Dartmouth track and field teams are back at it this weekend. The Big Green men's and women's teams will make the drive south to compete in Boston, with the squads splitting up to run at both the Boston University Classic and the Northeastern Invitational. Both the men's and women's teams will be looking to build some momentum after last weekend's home meet against Yale and Columbia, which saw the women win and the men finish second. The women won their side of the meet by 26 points over second-place Yale, while the Big Green men finished second to the Bulldogs by one point. This weekend will change things up a bit, however, by giving the Big Green competitors the opportunity to focus squarely on their individual performances rather than the final overall placement of the team, as is usually the case. The Big Green will compete with this mindset in the hopes of qualifying individually for the IC4A Championships, held in early March, and of improving on their individual standing for the Heps Championships, held at Cornell in late February. Since the team members will be compared against top performers on other teams, the better their own personal performance, the better their chances of qualifying for the IC4As and earning a high seeding in Heps. Dallas Alexander '02 is confident the team is ready. "Every day and every week of training makes us stronger," he said.
