Baseball: a win away from div. title

By Mitch Yashiro | April 28, 2000

They've never come this far, and this year is their best chance. After setting a school record for season wins (25) on Wednesday with a victory over Holy Cross, the Dartmouth baseball team (24-11, 14-2 Ivy) enters the weekend looking for just one more win. A win in back-to-back double headers against Harvard this weekend will bring Hanover a Red Rolfe Division title and a ticket to the Ivy League Championship game against a Lou Gehrig Division winner. For the second-place Crimson (15-19, 8-6 Ivy) to force a one-game tie-breaker, they must win thefinal six league games, including this weekend against the Big Green. Dartmouth is currently on a 12-game winning-streak and has won 18-of-21 games since returning from spring trip in Florida. The Crimson are 2-7 in their last eight games overall and 1-5 in their last five Ivy contests. In the last four years, Harvard leads the series, 14-2, against the Big Green. Brian Nickerson '00 won the league's Player of the Week award after leading the Green to a weekend sweep over Yale. The thirdbaseman hit 11 runs, 11 hits, 10 RBI, a double, two home runs, three walks and on 24 at-bats. He leads the Big Green offense in batting average (.388), slugging percentage (.653), on-base percentage (.455) and home runs.

By Meredith Bryan | April 27, 2000

The men's tennis team suffered a disappointing 0-7 loss to Harvard yesterday afternoon in Cambridge, finishing off their season at 5-15 overall and 0-7 in the Ivy League.

Why I love playoff hockey

By Michael P. Hamilton | April 26, 2000

About this time of year, I am always reminded why I am a hockey fan. Just as the nascent baseball season begins to wake me from my neutral-zone trap inspired coma, and move me to thoughts of sunny weekend afternoons sitting in the bleachers at Fenway, the NHL playoffs come along and re-ignite my passions for the sport of the great white north.

By Michael P. Hamilton | April 25, 2000

The Big Green women's sailing team won the New England Women's Championship Reed Trophy on Sunday for the second consecutive year, qualifying for the ICYRA National Dinghy Championship in the process. Dartmouth overcame inclement weather on the Charles River in Boston to finish first in the field of 17 schools with 123 points.

Street fightin' men

By Chris Haffenreffer | April 25, 2000

Saturday evening, several friends and I were sitting in my dorm room watching a muted "Sportscenter" on ESPN (yes, I have cable in my room) as the stereo was turned up, and probably irritating the guy next door.

W. laxers face Tigers for showdown

By Mitch Yashiro | April 21, 2000

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

By Joe Gault | April 21, 2000

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.
