G. Smith Speaks About Injury

By Greg Smith with Sammy Kardon | October 19, 2001

Last Saturday, in the first quarter of a 49-17 loss at Holy Cross, Dartmouth's All-American candidate quarterback, Greg Smith '02, broke the middle finger of his throwing hand to all but certainly end his spectacular season. To that point, he was leading the Ivies in every major passing category and had rallied the Big Green to the point where it looked like it might have a shot to contend for a league title This week, Smith had surgery on his hand at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, officially ending his season and possibly his career. Here, Smith speaks about the season that was, the season that could have been and what he thinks the future holds for Dartmouth football and its new quarterback"freshman Evan Love. It was like a dream season.

Big Green to Tangle with Redmen

By David Sherzer | October 19, 2001

The veteran leadership, the strong goaltending, the defensive style, the national title hopes -- all of that will be on display for the first time tonight at 5 at Thompson Arena as the Dartmouth men's hockey team welcomes McGill for an exhibition game. But don't expect this Big Green lineup to resemble perfectly the one that head coach Bob Gaudet '81 hopes to bring to St.

Kickers Go Hunting For Big Game

By Morgan Cain | October 19, 2001

Some may call it a slugfest, others a rivalry. Either way, when Dartmouth (3-5, 0-2 Ivy) and Columbia tangle in an Ivy League men's soccer match, it is always a war. Dartmouth was riding high last year when it traveled to the Big Apple to tangle with the Lions, but left feeling all blue after the Lions stole a 1-0 victory. This year the Big Green hopes to turn the tables, and continue its climb back into the Ivy League title hunt. "This weekend's game is a huge game for us," defender Zach Schwartz '02 said.

Madsen Leads Despite Broken Thumb

Nothing frustrates an athlete more than being forced to the bench by an injury. Ask Terrell Davis, Bo Jackson, Peter Forsberg, Kerry Wood or Dartmouth volleyball star Jen Madsen. Madsen suffered a broken thumb during a routine drill in practice a couple weeks ago.

Life After Smith

By Sammy Kardon | October 19, 2001

It's the beginning of a new era for Dartmouth football. When senior quarterback and All-American candidate Greg Smith '02 broke his middle finger in last week's 49-17 demolition at the hands of Holy Cross, the Big Green lost not only its best player, but its identity as well. Everything has changed.

Crew finishes fifth in debut at Stonehurst

By Ed Freidheim | October 16, 2001

After making a seven-hour journey to western New York, the men's heavyweight crew team finally got its fall season underway on Sunday, placing an impressive fifth at the Stonehurst Capitol Regatta. The boat race, which was held on the home course of the Rochester Institute of Technology, consisted of a field of 35 top-flight crews, some of which came from Toronto and other parts of western Ontario. Despite starting toward the rear of the field, the Dartmouth men rowed an efficient race through rough waters, finishing in a time of 29:41.92. Unfortunately for the Big Green, that time was 55 seconds behind the first-place Crimson crew of Harvard, whose nearest competitor, Brown, came in a distant 23 seconds out of first. Head coach Scott Armstrong felt somewhat optimistic, however, about his team's performance over the weekend. "[Our] guys rowed hard and powerfully, but didn't have the quick, fast rhythm you need to really fly," Armstrong said. Those hard, powerful strokes made up for the rather low stroke rating that prevented the Big Green from posing a formidable threat to Harvard's first boat. "[We] rowed 30 [strokes per minute] over the course too low to compete with Harvard, Brown, and Yale, who were rowing [between] 33-35," Armstrong added. "I [also] learned that I need to change the lineup around to seek a faster rhythm.

Quakers Will Win Big in NY

By Jon Martin | October 12, 2001

It's three weeks into the Ivy football season and only five league games have been played. Yale (2-1, 1-1) and Dartmouth (1-2, 1-1) are the sole teams to have played in two Ivy contests, and with each splitting their results, it's fair to say that the league title is still within reach for each school.

A Team Looking to Regroup

By Lois Schonberger | October 12, 2001

The Dartmouth women's soccer team is taking a much-needed break this weekend. Returning home from a disappointing loss to the Terriers of Boston University on Wednesday, the Big Green now has its first extended rest during what has thus far been a frustrating season, one marked by a lack of scoring prowess. Among those most thankful for the chance to recover are sophomores Lea Kiefer and Kelly Partridge. Pulled muscles sidelined both players for the BU game, forcing them to watch from the stands as the Terriers broke through the Big Green defense to win 2-0. After an encouraging showing in a scoreless tie at Yale last weekend, the Dartmouth women took the field in Boston hoping to continue the smart play they showed against the Bulldogs, only to walk off the pitch after 90 minutes with another loss and a frustrating weight on their shoulders. Of the recent frustration, junior defender Meaghan Kelly said: "I think one of the main reasons for the disappointment of the past few games has been a lack of mental toughness and focus for 90 minutes. "We haven't played hard, with desire, until half of the game is over or we get scored on." Showing promise from the start of preseason, this year's team has displayed all the key ingredients that have made past squads so successful in national arenas. Like teams of the past, this incarnation has quick attackers like Laura Ashley '03, intelligent playmakers at the midfield like Mary McVeigh '03, gutsy defenders like Shannon Agner '02 and a pervading team unity. Still, it hasn't been enough to put points on the board thus far this season. Despite the consistent backstopping efforts of Big Green keepers Julia Shields, a sophomore, and Anne Marbarger, a freshman, both have found themselves digging the ball out of the back of their own nets more often than they have celebrated a teammate's goal on the opposite side of the field. Now, the team has a week-long break to rest, reflect and prepare for the upcoming test at Syracuse in Upstate N.Y.
