Green football looks for first win against Big Red

By Austin Zalkin | October 22, 1999

Dartmouth's biggest home football crowd of every season comes during Homecoming. The myriad alumni who have briefly returned to their alma mater will take home with them the images of this event at least until the next time they come back to the College -- in a year, five years, a decade.

Small sports expect big crowds

By Regis Ahern | October 22, 1999

Every Homecoming, in addition to facing their opponents, Dartmouth's fall athletic teams have to compete for attention against Big Green football, which traditionally attracts the greatest number of spectators and the most fanfare. This weekend, in addition to football, Big Green volleyball, rugby, field hockey, women's and men's soccer will all have home games. In recent years, an effort has been made to decrease the number of teams competing at the same time as football, so more people can attend more games. "Within the league there was an attitude to move soccer and field hockey so that they were not competing with football," women's varsity soccer coach Kelly B.

Number crunching

By Stuart Yee | October 14, 1999

When the Chicago Cubs are taking batting practice, have you ever heard kids shouting 'Hey, number 21, can you sign my baseball?' Well, I'm probably guessing you haven't.

Sailors capture Hap Moore Regatta

By Michael P. Hamilton | October 14, 1999

This weekend, in the waters off the shore of New London, Conn., the Dartmouth sailing team captured their first major team regatta in several years. Their win at the Hap Moore Regatta, hosted by the Coast Guard Academy, was powered by All-Americans Erin Myers '00 and Katie Lyndon '01, but most participants testified to their excellent teamwork and strategy. "We got out there, and it was good, clean, fun sailing," Myers said.

A new season

By Michael P. Hamilton | October 7, 1999

Yet another season of the NHL is upon us after what seems like an incredibly short summer. Much has transpired since a controversial early-morning goal in triple overtime that precipitated the Dallas Stars' dance with Lord Stanley. The league is now entering what will be referred to as the post-Gretzky era.

Women's soccer blanks UNH

By Mitch Yashiro | October 7, 1999

When you do what you are supposed to do, you succeed. In soccer, that means the offense scores goals and the defense keeps the ball away. It's simple but that's what the Dartmouth women's soccer team has been doing lately. "I don't think it's so much a matter of a sudden turnaround, but more of us playing up to the potential we've had all along," freshman midfielder Mary McVeigh said.

Epstein '00 rips up surf and turf

By Heather Kofke-Egger | October 5, 1999

For Lauren Epstein '00, golfing began as a convenient way to get out of chores. "Basically I just wanted to get out of the house and so I'd try to tag along with my father to the range," Epstein said. Now she's the top player on the Dartmouth women's golf team and golf has changed from an excuse to a way of life. "It's something you can do for the rest of your life," said Epstein, who says after college she'll continue to play, hopefully in some amateur tournaments. Epstein, who hails from Syosset, New York, has been golfing since she was nine, but didn't begin playing real rounds of golf until age 12. When she entered eighth grade, Epstein joined her high school's golf team, which at the time was all men.

Football hits the road for Lafayette

By Austin Zalkin | October 1, 1999

The Dartmouth football team is struggling. There is no doubt about that. But often what a struggling team needs to break out of its funk is a matchup with another team in a similar situation. The Big Green get no better relief from their 0-2 start than this weekend when they travel to Easton, Pa.
