Is it do-or-die for Green baseball?

|

That being said, the Big Green baseball team's Ivy League opening road-trip this weekend is not a must-win situation. If Dartmouth was to lose all four games to Columbia and Pennsylvania, the season would not be lost.

Softball sweeps doubleheader against Quinnipiac

|

After a slow start to their season, Dartmouth softball turned things around Thursday, sweeping a doubleheader from the Braves of Quinnipiac College at Sachem Field. Freshman Sarah Damon was excited about the team's growth and improvement. "We played crisp and clean, and we didn't have any errors," Damon said.

Playoff would resolve Ivy ties

|

If you've been wondering what happens if the women's basketball team winds up tied for first place in the Ivies at the season's end, the answer has arrived. The Ivy League publicly announced its way of resolving ties yesterday: teams with identical Ivy records will enter a playoff at Lehigh University's Stabler Arena on Friday, March 5. The women's team, which currently stands one game behind Princeton for first place, will face Brown and Yale at home this weekend before traveling to Harvard next Tuesday night.

Pride of the Red Sox

|

I'm a Red Sox fan. Always have been, always will be. Where I come from, it's sacrilege to root for the BoSox, and I've taken nothing but flack (defined as name-calling, elbow-throwing, and good-natured drunken heckling in the Yankee Stadium bleachers) for it.

Women's hockey prepares for big ECAC weekend

|

Tempers have been hot and flaring in Hanover over the past week. Some of that heat will reach Thompson Arena this weekend when the Dartmouth College women's hockey team tackles one of its biggest weekends of the season in hopes of securing home-ice advantage in the hotly-contested ECAC playoff race. The Big Green will take on cellar-dwellar Colby on Saturday afternoon before meeting cross-state rival New Hampshire on Sunday. Dartmouth will enter the weekend in seventh place in the conference standings, just two points above the final playoff spot held by Cornell, but only seven points away from second-place Brown. With six league games remaining on their campaign, the Big Green,11-5-4 ECAC, has 26 points. Harvard sits in the league lead with 37 points, followed by Brown with 33 and Northeastern with 31.
