W. laxers face Tigers for showdown

|

This game is big. After completing the first two-thirds of the season successfully, the ninth-ranked Dartmouth women's lacrosse team (10-1 overall, 6-0 Ivy) looks to defend its Ivy League Championship tomorrow against the second-ranked Princeton Tigers (12-1, 5-0). Dartmouth has won or shared the league title four of the last five years and shared the title with Princeton in 1997.

Chuckwagon rides off into the sunset

|

As the NBA season comes to a close, I'm getting excited for the playoffs. Although it's not the same without Michael Jordan and the Bulls entering the field, I can deal with watching Shaq, Kobe, and ex-Bulls coach Phil Jackson leading the Lakers and Vince Carter, the next Jordan, leading the Toronto Raptors. Note: Michael Jordan and the Bulls did not appear in last year's playoffs, but last year's abbreviated season wasn't nearly the same as a regular NBA season, so discard it. Jordan is, however, not the only thing that will be missing from this year's playoffs.

Lee Birchall '02 continued his solid play of late, shooting rounds of 76-74 -- 150 to finish tied for sixth at the New England Division 1 championship, played at the Country Club of Fairfield in Fairfield, CT. Birchall was only six shots behind the winner, Jim Salinetti of URI, who shot a 73-71 -- 144 . URI won the team title in the field of 18 schools with 591, 17 strokes ahead of Hartford (608). The Big Green finished sixth overall with a 36-hole total of 628. Other notable golfers included Chris Welty '00 (77-78-155), and Jero Esteve '03 (78-80-158).

Men's lacrosse falls to Eli, 10-4

|

Sophomore Brian Hunt, who was just named to the Ivy honor roll after a 12-point performance in two games last week, scored four more to help Yale rout Dartmouth 10-4 for its fourth consecutive win yesterday afternoon in Hanover. The Bulldogs have now won 42 of the 70 match-ups between the two teams, including the last five in a row. From the opening whistle, it was apparent that the Big Green was off its game.

For the love of the game

Call me a baseball purist -- call me what you will. I don't necessarily think that the designated hitter is the absolute worst idea in the world.

Women's ruggers have fun in the mud

|

The Dartmouth Women's Rugby Club, fresh off their Ivy Championship last weekend in Rhode Island, followed up with an equally impressive showing at the Spring Ruggers' Classic tournament on Long Island this past weekend. Dartmouth's A-side women went undefeated, bringing home first place in the premier division, while the B-side captured second in the open division. Led by eventual Tournament MVP Kathy Grayson '02, the A-side trampled Drew (36-0), Temple (41-0), and Southern Connecticut (15-0) en route to an exciting championship bout with Radcliffe on Sunday afternoon. Against a backdrop of mud and heat, the Big Green battled it out against a tough Radcliffe squad, gaining momentum early in the game off a kick by Grayson that landed the ball out of bounds and put Dartmouth five meters from the try zone. Outstanding play by the Big Green forwards facilitated the first try of the game, touched down by Monique Roy '00.

Just Another Chapter

|

Add another chapter to a storybook career. Saturday night Cal Ripken became the 24th player to reach 3,000 hits in his career, and just the 7th to reach 3,000 hits and 400 home runs. After entering this season a mere nine hits shy of the hallowed mark, Ripken had gone just 6-for-34 before Saturday.

Men's lax visits No. 9 Big Red

|

Coming off a solid 10-4 win Wednesday afternoon against Sacred Heart, Dartmouth (4-4, 0-1 Ivy) travels to Ithaca tomorrow afternoon to take on one of the hottest teams in the nation. Dartmouth will face ninth-ranked Cornell (7-1, 3-0), who is riding high, after dethroning top-ranked and formerly undefeated Syracuse Tuesday night in a 13-12 stunner. The Big Green will be looking to replicate their stellar defensive performance against the Pioneers, who were able to muster only one goal in the second half. Patrick McClammer '02 saved 10 and gave up three goals in 58 minutes of play Wednesday despite nursing an ankle injury. "To be successful we must play as a team and be consistent at all positions on the field," said McClammer.

Checkmate?

Well, Latrell Sprewell, I think you've met your match. He's your ideal coach. He's a man who can relate to you unlike your current coach with the New York Knicks, the painfully balding, Patrick Ewing-loving Jeff Van Gundy.
