The Warrior's Jinx

By Janos Marton | April 4, 2001

Over the past decade New York sports teams have been accused of shamelessly buying World Championships (see: Yankees). Now while it is true that New York, being the metropolitan powerhouse that it is, can afford to spend more money on attracting athletes and keeping them, making New York teams the subjects of envy throughout the country, one's heart has got to go out to the New York Knicks. This hapless franchise has not won an NBA championship since 1973, while other big market teams like Los Angeles, Chicago and Boston have won 17 between them.

Glory Days

By Robert Kim | March 30, 2001

This weekend, all eyes will be on Minneapolis as the Men's NCAA Final Four commences. With the exception of the Super Bowl, no athletic competition in the country draws as many viewers and media as the NCAA tournament.

Baseball suffers early troubles

By Abraham Mahshie | March 28, 2001

The Big Green baseball team returns to action this spring after a record-breaking 2000 season. The Dartmouth squad capped off last season 29-14, and 17-3 in Ivy play (both school highs), with its two final losses coming to Lou Gehrig division champ Princeton in the Ivy Championship series. Dartmouth's exciting 2000 season also saw the team sweep the Ivy Awards (the first team to ever do so) taking Ivy League MVP (Brian Nickerson '00), Ivy Pitcher of the Year (Conor Brooks '00), and Ivy Rookie of the Year (Mike Mileusnic '03). With 18 returning ballplayers, including the entire infield, catcher, and two starting pitchers, the team will look to maintain the chemistry and power displayed in last year's impressive season. Despite quality returning athletes, the Big Green loses three of its most important assets to graduation.

Hub boasting unnecessary

By Janos Marton | March 28, 2001

Any avid fan knows that great rivalries are what make sports worth watching. Watching Duke battle North Carolina this season, waiting for the inevitable New York Knicks -- Miami Heat playoff series, even watching Sampras and Agassi go at it one more time, these are the most emotional moments in athletics. It goes without saying however, that there is no rivalry more intense than the 98-year-old war between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees.

Softball struggles, rebounds on spring trip

By Adam Small | March 27, 2001

The Dartmouth women's softball team is coming off its best season ever, a season which produced 32 victories and nearly doubled its number of all-time Ivy League victories. That team lost only two seniors and brought in a five-person freshman class to bolster a team with aspirations to an Ivy title. With all of this, the Big Green opened its season with a very difficult west coast swing which leaves them at 5-9 after their semifinal loss Sunday to Rider at the George Mason tournament. The upside of the trip was that it closed with Dartmouth winning three of its last five games. It all began on March 16th in Moraga, CA, where the Green began the St.
