By Mitch Yashiro | March 3, 2000

This weekend, the Dartmouth men's hockey team (9-13-4) will fight for home ice in the first round of ECAC playoffs, but they know one thing for sure. The youthful Big Green squad will be playing in the postseason for the first time since 1996. Dartmouth is currently tied for third place in the ECAC with a 8-8-3 conference record. Coming off a hard-fought 3-2 victory over the Cornell Big Red last Sunday, Dartmouth will play at Clarkson tonight and St.

W. icers host UNH, Providence

By Kevin Allen | March 3, 2000

Sometimes, seemingly little mistakes come back to haunt you. While the Dartmouth women's ice hockey team holds an impressive conference record of 16-6-0 and currently sits in third place, they know they could be higher. Uncharacteristic losses to weaker teams such as Niagara and Princeton seemed like mere speed bumps in a stellar season, but now they are more significant since the second place and fifth place teams are separated by only three points in the standings. How does this relate to this weekend's opponents you ask?

A League of Their Own

By Joe Gault | March 3, 2000

On Feb. 15, 2000, I was captivated by news that Discovery Channel CEO John Hendricks had raised $40 million in order to form the Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA), a premier professional women's soccer league. The idea comes on the heels of 1999's most memorable sporting event -- the Women's World Cup.

Green head to N.Y. for two games

By Austin Zalkin | March 2, 2000

Coming off losses to the Ivy League's top two teams in Hanover, the Dartmouth men's basketball team (8-17, 4-8) will face the third- and last-place teams this weekend in New York State. Tomorrow night the Big Green will battle to stay out of the Ancient Eight cellar when they take on Cornell (10-15, 3-9). The Big Red, like the Green, were expected to finish near the top of the standings before the year began, but instead have struggled to win at all. Until winning twice at home last weekend, the Big Red had only garnered a single League victory.

The Dominance Continues?

By Kelly Schneiter | March 1, 2000

Just over two weeks from now, 64 NCAA Division I college basketball teams will embark on a mission to reach the Holy Grail of hoops, the Final Four. As happens every year, some small conference team, maybe Indiana State or Kent or Pepperdine, will shock everyone but themselves and win a game or two against major conference teams.

Harvard, Penn remain in second

By Christopher J. Smith | March 1, 2000

Last weekend, Harvard and Penn received a golden opportunity to reclaim first place in the Ivy League -- which Dartmouth took over two weeks ago -- after the Big Green lost at Princeton on Saturday. But Penn lost its Friday match-up with Dartmouth and then on Saturday defeated the Crimson, who had earlier beaten Princeton, giving all three of the League's top teams a 1-1 weekend and maintaining the standings with the Big Green still leading by a game. Harvard 47, Princeton 43 The Harvard women's basketball team (15-8, 8-3 Ivy) narrowly avoided a significant upset Friday to retain second place in the Ivy League with a victory at Princeton (7-18, 4-7). The two teams played closely throughout, with six ties and six lead changes.

Princeton picked up a pair of wins against two Ivy League foes as it ascended to the third place tie.

Women's hockey sits a point behind Brown for first

By Kevin Allen | February 24, 2000

Anyone who hasn't been following the women's ice hockey team this season should start today. With a combination of talented offense, hard-nosed defense and stellar goaltending, Dartmouth has marched into second place in the ECAC. With just two more games in their regular season the Big Green stand just a single point behind the number one team in the nation, the Brown Bears. After a convincing 4-0 win over Maine it looked as if Dartmouth was poised to defeat the University of New Hampshire and claim first place in the ECAC.

Now that the All-Star break has passed and the NBA regular season is in full swing with over 50 games finished most teams, it is time to evaluate the haves and have-nots, the contenders and the wannabees. In the Eastern Conference, the Miami Heat, New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers are, to no one's surprise, leading the pack.
