By Brad Limpert | October 26, 2001

Barring a collapse of Boston Red Sox proportions, it appears the Princeton Tigers, ranked No. 7 in the nation, will win their eighth straight Ivy League field hockey title.

V-Ball: Double Ivy Dip

By Kim McCullough | October 26, 2001

The Dartmouth women's volleyball team heads into this weekend's contests at Leede Arena against Princeton (tonight at 7) and Penn (tomorrow at 4) with a 7-9 overall record and 2-4 record in the Ivy League. The Big Green is coming off a tough weekend in which the team was swept by Cornell and Columbia on the road by a pair of 3-1 scores. Ideally, the Dartmouth women would like to emerge from the weekend contests with two wins against a couple of tough Ivy League foes, but the women know this will be a difficult task because both Princeton and Penn swept their games last weekend and will be riding a strong wave of momentum into Leede Arena. With most of the Big Green families in attendance for the team's annual Parents Weekend, the women hope to minimize the errors and inconsistency that have plagued the squad over the past two weekends in order to get its Ivy League season back on track. Another intriguing storyline will be the defensive play of Ashley Dean '02, who is 40 digs shy of the all-time Dartmouth record. If the team can execute its well-balanced attack effectively and efficiently in these crucial matches, the Big Green can bring its record back to .500 and begin an ascent back up the Ivy League standings.

Kickers Looking Better

By Morgan Cain | October 26, 2001

On paper it seems that Dartmouth's matchup with Harvard this Saturday should be a blowout. Harvard is unbeaten in the Ivy League and stands at 8-2 overall, while Dartmouth is winless in League play and is barely keeping its head above water at 4-6.

Top Lines to Skate for Icers

By David Sherzer | October 26, 2001

The spotlights will be on the Dartmouth men's hockey team Saturday night at Thompson Arena--literally. With the University of Moncton in town for an exhibition game, the Big Green will show off its regular lineup and its newest pregame feature--spotlights that will follow the team out of the tunnel as it takes the ice for warmups and player introductions.

Bad Break Central

By David Sherzer | October 26, 2001

Dartmouth head coach John Lyons summed up his team's dismal situation with a simple simile. "It's like we have a black cloud hanging over us," Lyons said Thursday as he ate pistachios in his office. The Big Green football team might be the butt of jokes on campus and beyond, but no one can deny that it is a team plagued by bad breaks. The Big Green came into the season off a trio of disappointing 2-8 campaigns, built confidence, but then lost star QB Greg Smith '02 to a season-ending finger fracture. Dartmouth begrudgingly turned to Evan Love '05, who dislocated his finger before making a modest starting debut in a 27-20 loss to Columbia. Then on Wednesday, more bad news as--you guessed it--the Big Green was hit with another injury.

Bears Hungry for Penn

By Sammy Kardon | October 26, 2001

By far the biggest game in the Ivies this weekend is Brown against Penn. The 3-2 Bears, owners of the most potent scoring offense in the league, look to even up their Ivy record (2-1) with the 3-0 Quakers' who are 5-0 overall.

By Sammy Kardon | October 26, 2001

Well, the season has just passed its halfway point and already it has been quite a ride. After the sobering experience of the September 11 attacks, Dartmouth's first three weeks represented the headiest days the program has seen in years.

By Rebecca Aledort | October 24, 2001

Green sailing grabs another win

By Jon Martin | October 23, 2001

The Dartmouth sailing teams had another successful weekend as the co-eds claimed the inaugural Lake Champlain Trophy, and the women's team qualified for the Atlantic Coast Championships. The Big Green finished the two-day, ten-team Lake Champlain regatta with 41 points, besting Tufts' 62, Rhode Island's 66 and Vermont's 81. The Lake Champlain Regatta, hosted by the University of Vermont, was marked by heavy winds and high seas. After the first day of sailing, the Big Green pairing of skipper John Diskant '04 and crew Clementine James '05 stood on top of the standings in Division A, although only three points clear of second-place Rhode Island.

Women Look to Follow Up Victory

By Lois Schonberger | October 19, 2001

The Dartmouth women's soccer team will step onto Chase Field Sunday at noon in an Ivy League match-up against Columbia, hoping to capitalize on the momentum gathered after Wednesday's rousing 2-0 win over Syracuse. A few key changes in lineup and pregame warmup seemed to make the difference in Wednesday's match, helping the Big Green avoid the disastrous string of early goals-against that had hampered earlier efforts.
