Big Green get NCAA bid, host BU in first round

By Kevin Demoff | November 18, 1997

The men's soccer team received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament yesterday and will host Boston University in the first round Sunday at Chase Field. Despite leading the Ivy League for most of the season, the Big Green were forced to hope for a bid when their dreams for an Ivy League title fell short after a 1-0 overtime loss to league champion Brown over the weekend. The Big Green will be making their first appearance in the tournament since 1992, and only the school's fifth trip overall. "It was certainly nerve-racking," Head Coach Fran O'Leary said.

Big Green advances after forfeit

By Lou Scerra | November 13, 1997

The Dartmouth College women's soccer team was granted two wishes yesterday by being invited to play in the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference tournament, a secondary postseason tournament in which the teams from the East Coast not invited to the NCAA tournament play. However, their opening-round opponent Villanova notified Dartmouth late last night that they could not participate in the game scheduled for this afternoon due to an obscure NCAA rule, limiting the amount of games they could play. Villanova has already played in 18 games this season, and if they were to advance to the finals of the ECAC playoffs, they would have played in 21 games, exceeding the NCAA-imposed limit of 20 games per season.

Water polo wins club nationals

By Jake Elberg | November 12, 1997

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass.--The Dartmouth Water Polo team emerged from relative obscurity this past weekend, surprising not only themselves but the entire Water Polo community by winning the National Club Championships at Williams College. In a sport where many Division I schools compete at the club level, the Dartmouth team achieved its most historic honor with wins over the University of Michigan, Iowa State, Williams College and the University of Colorado. For Coach Jim Wilson, who has headed the team for the last four years, it was an enormous accomplishment. "It's tremendous for us, for our alumni, for all our guys.

Hockey to drop puck in ECAC

By Jeffrey Beyer | November 7, 1997

The Dartmouth men's hockey team heads into this weekend's ECAC contents with RPI and Union coming off an impressive 7-1 win over Army last weekend, but the squad knows it has its work cut out for it if it is to improve from the dismal 1996-97 season -- in which the Big Green won just three games in January and February. But this year expectations are high, and with new Head Coach Bob Gaudet behind the bench, ECAC watchers are picking the Big Green to make the playoffs for just the third time since 1980. Eric Almon '00 comes off a solid game between the pipes against Army, as he stopped 35 of the 36 shots he faced.
