If I Had A Million Dollars

By Lou Scerra | January 27, 2000

Tucked away in a corner of Cincinnati, a teenager flips on his stereo and presses play on the CD player and the disc whirls for a few seconds before the voices of the Barenaked Ladies fill the room. He sits down at the computer to begin loading and reloading a web site, hoping each time that Ken Griffey Jr.'s indelible smile will pop up adorned by the hat of the Big Red Machine.

Need A Title

By Kelly Schneiter | January 26, 2000

A top-25 without North Carolina? No, I'm not talking about football. Basketball? That's right " for the first time since the 1990-91 season the Tar Heels have fallen out of the Associated Press Top-25 poll. As we pass the midpoint of our journey from Midnight Madness to the Final Four, North Carolina's demise is just one of many interesting stories to fill college basketball headlines. In fact, a number of players, teams, and coaches have performed uniquely enough to earn special recognition. Earning recognition as the Most Disappointing Team at the season's midway point is none other than North Carolina.

Hanks brings spirit to basketball

By Christopher J. Smith | January 25, 2000

She slouched down in the chair and draped her leg over the side casually. Could this really be the same woman that had ripped Yale apart mercilessly for 13 points in the first half less than a week ago? In an age where extreme competitiveness drives athletes to compulsive gambling and fatal car crashes, one is surprised to see such an intense basketball player on the court such as Katherine "Kat" Hanks '03 display such an easy-going attitude as she did when she sat down for an interview last week. It's hard to believe that someone who in her spare time prefers "to do nothing" would play such an integral role on this year's women's basketball team. Though only a freshman, Hanks is the team's starting center and leads the team with 15.8 points per game and with 18 blocks, and is second on the team with 6.6 rebounds per game (6.6). What's really astonishing, however, is that she has never been known as a big scorer and she didn't even play center until she came to Dartmouth. "This is something totally new," Hanks said.

Men's hockey defeats Cornell

By Mitch Yashiro | January 25, 2000

Freshman standout goaltender Nick Boucher turned aside 30 shots and Mike Maturo '02 scored the game-winning goal for the Dartmouth men's hockey team as the Big Green edged Cornell, 3-2, in Ithaca, NY. In its first weekend without its traveling partner University of Vermont, who terminated the rest of the season with a hazing scandal, Dartmouth came back with a win after losing to Colgate on Saturday. With Monday's 3-2 victory, the Big Green improved its season record to 5-8-4 (4-3-3 ECAC), while the Big Red dropped to 7-8-1 (4-5). After Cornell took a 1-0 lead in the first period, Pete Summerfelt '03 tied the game for Dartmouth on a pass from Jaime Herrington '02. Senior defenseman Ryan Burkart netted the tie-breaking goal at 8:08 in the third frame as his shot deflected off a Cornell player into the net. Nine minutes later, Maturo capped the Green's scoring on Herrington's second assist of the evening. Boucher entered the game ranked fourth among the ECAC netminders with a 2.11 goals-against-average (GAA), while posting a sensational .934 save percentage. He was ranked 14th in the NCAA Division I in the GAA category. Cornell goaltender Matt Underhill had 18 saves in the contest.

Football playoff predictions

By Joe Gault | January 21, 2000

Tennessee (13-3) at Jacksonville (14-2) Tennessee's defense is for real. Titans coach Jeff Fisher has a great defensive system which attacks instead of reacting to opposing offenses. Don't underestimate the Titans.

UVM scandal raises questions

By Austin Zalkin | January 20, 2000

The cancellation of the University of Vermont's men's hockey season raises many questions beyond the confines of Burlington, namely, whether a similar situation could arise at Dartmouth or elsewhere. "If an incident occurred and nobody told the truth about it, it would become an overall matter for the [school]," Dartmouth College Athletic Director Dick Jaeger '59 said.

Brown takes Mayor's Cup from PC

By Michael P. Hamilton | January 20, 2000

When it comes to rivalries, bragging rights sometimes trump the conventional wisdom. On Tuesday night at Schneider Arena, this happened as ECAC cellar-dweller Brown overcame cross-town rival Providence College on their own turf, 4-2. Brown skated away with the Mayor's Cup and bragging rights until the two meet again next year. The win gives the Bears a 5-8-1 record after 14 years of Mayor's Cup play.

The Little Guy

By Kelly Schneiter | January 19, 2000

Two NCAA tournament bids. That's the goal for many low to mid-level college basketball conferences. In the past the thought of two tournament bids for a conference such as the West Coast Conference or the Ivy League was nothing more than a dream.

Brown, Yale surprise favorites

By Austin Zalkin | January 19, 2000

The Ivy basketball world turned slightly askew this weekend as last year's doormats Brown, Columbia and Yale all went undefeated in League play. The Bears and Bulldogs took turns taking bites out of Dartmouth and Harvard, while Columbia ran away with a 17-point win over in-state rival Cornell. Only one of the two Ivy favorites, Penn and Princeton, played this weekend, and neither faced an Ancient Eight foe.
