Women's hockey has sights set on Final Four bid

|

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

|

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.

Casella honored, refs draw Gaudet's ire

|

It is very easy to be critical. It is much more difficult to be that rare person who habitually searches for others' strengths and makes them feel good about themselves. Dan Casella '02 is one of those people. He has a broad smile and a contagious laugh, one that belies his 5-8 frame and can be heard across a room. "Everybody gets down sometimes, but in general, I am a very positive person," says Casella, who was named one of four finalists for the 2002 Hockey Humanitarian Award.
