UVM scandal raises questions

|

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

|

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

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

|

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.

ECAC alters standings, schedules

|

In a conference call yesterday afternoon, the Eastern College Athletic Conference announced how it will handle the University of Vermont's cancellation of its men's hockey season. The league will maintain all records and statistics from earlier ECAC games involving Vermont, but will not award forfeit victories to UVM's 15 remaining scheduled opponents.

This is how baseball should be. A team drafts a player in the amateur draft based on one scout's whimsical judgement of a prospect that he's seen only twice play the outfield when the player is supposed to be a pitcher.

NFL playoff predictions: from eight to four

|

Miami (9-7) at Jacksonville (14-2) Will he or won't he? The question applies to both Dolphins' head coach Jimmy Johnson and legendary quarterback Dan Marino as to whether or not the next Dolphin loss is the final one for either two men with the Dolphins. Johnson has lost patience with Marino on numerous occasions since his arrival in Miami and has tried to de-emphasize the passing game.

Interview: Coach Dave Faucher

|

With a third place finish in the Ivy League last year, including season sweeps of Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard and Yale, the Big Green surprised a lot of people. How could a team starting two freshmen, two sophomores and a junior compete with veteran teams and even briefly challenge behemoths Penn and Princeton for the Ivy title? The answer many reached was Head Coach Dave Faucher. An excitable and animated figure on the bench, Faucher is more into a game than anybody.

Holiday Jeers

|

While most college students spent winter break relaxing, some of their peers were hard at work on the basketball court, often breaking less than a week for the holidays. Well, maybe not all college basketball teams were hard at work, as evidenced by the recent string of upsets of top-10 teams. The upset bug first displayed its presence on Dec.

The Ivy League men's basketball season starts in earnest this weekend, and there are a few issues worth noting. While the League may have eight teams, the well-informed fan should really only acknowledge the existence of five.

Women's hockey ices Boston College 5-2

|

The new millennium leg of the women's ice hockey team's schedule began in Chestnut Hill, Mass. on Wednesday night against the Boston College Eagles. After falling 1-0 to Northeastern, the number one team in the nation, on New Year's Eve, Dartmouth rebounded beautifully as the Big Green handed Boston College a 5-2 loss on Wednesday night. Junior Kristina Guarino's second goal of the game at 7:47 of the second period proved to be the game winner when she put a shot past Boston College's Christy Nentwig off a feed from Correne Bredin '02. The win improves the Big Green to 8-5-0 overall (6-2-0 in the ECAC) while the Eagles fall to 2-10-0 (0-10-0 ECAC). Bredin led the way for Dartmouth, scoring a goal and assisting on three others, including the game winner.

Celebrating the Millennium

|

It's all David Letterman's fault. He started it. Who knows how greatly his Top Ten lists spawned the misery and ridiculousness that the world must endure with the recent list of the decade's, century's and millennium's best sports everythings? Faced with the inundation of these lists which serve best as fodder for barstool tirades, I would love to agree with the choices of the various selection committees.
