Glory Days

|

This weekend, all eyes will be on Minneapolis as the Men's NCAA Final Four commences.

Baseball suffers early troubles

|

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.

Softball struggles, rebounds on spring trip

|

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.
