Is it do-or-die for Green baseball?

By Kevin Demoff | April 2, 1999

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

By Jeff Bradford | April 2, 1999

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

By Austin Zalkin | February 24, 1999

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

By Liam Kuhn | February 24, 1999

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

By Lou Scerra | February 17, 1999

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.

Issues on campus can relate to the world of sports

By Kevin Demoff | February 11, 1999

As sports imitate life, so too does life imitate sports. In recent months, the NBA has undergone a turbulent transition and is now searching for a new identity: Michael Jordan retired, owners locked players out and fans threatened never to come back to the games. Today's news of impending change at the College reminds me of the NBA situation as it appears that Dartmouth is searching for a new identity.

Princeton edges Penn with a big comeback

By Austin Zalkin | February 10, 1999

In the 1986 World Series, Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner let a Mookie Wilson ground ball through his legs and precipitated a remarkable Mets comeback victory. In 1992, the Buffalo Bills rebounded from a 35 point first half deficit to win a playoff game against the Houston Oilers by a field goal. These amazing turnarounds might just be on par with that of the men's basketball game between Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania last night at the Palestra. In the opening period, Penn worked its home fans into a frenzy, outscoring Princeton 33-9.
