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.

Women's soccer blanks Vandy

By Mitch Yashiro | October 1, 1999

The Dartmouth women's soccer team evoked memories of last year's Ivy League championship in yesterday's 4-0 victory over Vanderbilt. The Dartmouth squad was in command from the get-go, but finally etched onto the scoreboard thanks to two opportunistic strikes from freshman midfielder Mary McVeigh. On Dartmouth's veteran-filled roster, another freshman Johanna Putnam and a junior, Gretchen Bell, joined McVeigh in Dartmouth's offensive explosion as the Big Green recovered from its early-season goal drought. "We all felt it come together on the field today," McVeigh said.

Mets

By Jonathan Riccio | October 1, 1999

M-E-T-S! Perhaps that's an acronym for Miserable End To Season. The team that has gone from underachievers to overachievers back to underachievers again all in the same 162-game season.

The New Agassi

"Come see the new Andre Agassi!" Perhaps that phrase should be CBS's tagline for the promos of its coverage of the U.S.

The First Step

By Lou Scerra | September 24, 1999

With the campus eagerly awaiting daily news regarding the Initiative and its impact on the social life on campus, it is nice to know that the Initiative is not just separating campus, but also uniting it -- through athletics. Yesterday's landmark announcement by Dean of the College Jim Larimore that all regular season athletic events will be free to undergraduate and graduate students at the College is a wonderful step in the right direction, but there are still more steps to climb. Anyone who watched the women's lacrosse team travel to the NCAA Tournament or has seen the football team tough one out in the late November snow realizes that our athletic teams unite the campus more than a party or an event in Collis could ever do. There is something about watching your classmates and friends that injects school pride into the campus and the community. Last winter, when the Athletic Department offered free student tickets to a hockey game against St.

Football to face tough test in 'Gate

By Austin Zalkin | September 24, 1999

Following a 17-6 opening-day loss at Pennsylvania last Saturday, the Green welcome Colgate and star quarterback Ryan Vena to Memorial Field tomorrow. Not only will Vena make reaching the .500 mark tough, but also Colgate's power running game and option offense should challenge the Green's veteran defense. "They have the best offensive line we'll face all year," Lyons said.

All regular season tix to be free

By Mark Davis | September 24, 1999

Students will now be able to gain free admission to all Dartmouth regular season athletic events, a campus-wide blitz from Dean of the College Jim Larimore revealed yesterday. This announcement was the latest in the administration's "focus on improving the social life of students." This change in policy was made public at this time so that students can take advantage of the announcement for tomorrow's football game against Colgate, which will be Dartmouth's first home game of the season. Bob Gaudet '81, head coach of the men's hockey team, was excited about the positive effect free admission could have at his team's already highly attended games. "I think it's great," Gaudet said, "It's going to help ignite that Dartmouth spirit at sporting events.

Women's soccer wins first game of year 1-0 vs. UVM

By Mitch Yashiro | September 23, 1999

After losing its first three games of the season, the Dartmouth womens soccer team (1-3) finally saw a bright light on cold and wet Chase Field yesterday afternoon in defeating the University of Vermont (2-5), 1-0. On a soggy, slow field under continuous misty rain, the Big Green dominated their first home game to put an end to its worst start in 18 years. "[It was] a big win because it started us on the right road for the rest of the season," senior Katherine Roda 00 said. "[It] was the first time we really put things together as a team.

The Pedro Factor

By Stuart Yee | September 22, 1999

The curse is over. The Bronx Bombers are doomed. The dead ball era is back.The reason: Pedro Martinez. By now, any contending team's locker room should come to a screeching halt when Sportscenter highlights show footage of the Dominican Dominator. October baseball is literally at the will of the Red Sox's ace.
