The women's golf team opened its fall season on a bright note at the Dartmouth Invitational despite the grey skies and rain in Hanover last weekend.

Johnson shot 83 on Sunday to bring her 36-hole total to 162, good for eighth place overall.

By Kevin Demoff | August 8, 1997

The Big Green men's basketball team received an enormous blow earlier in the week when Jihan Bowes-Little, a top-recruit at point guard, decided not to attend Dartmouth in the fall. Bowes-Little had committed to the Big Green earlier in the year, but will now accept a full athletic scholarship to play at the University of Portland, a Division I school. "Jihan had an outstanding spring and summer and became more of a prospect than he had been during the season," Head Coach Dave Faucher said.

Conway gets it done in every way on field

By Kevin Demoff | July 25, 1997

The Big Green baseball guide used only two lines to talk about newcomer Mike Conway '99, noting that the transfer from the University of San Diego would "provide depth to the infield." Teammate and All-Ivy League selection Eric Anderson '99 thinks of Conway not only as a baseball player, but as a politician. "When he first came to the team, he was always shaking our hands and smiling," Anderson said.

First-Team All-Ivy roster full of Green

By Jonathan A. Lee | May 15, 1997

The Big Green had the largest presence on this year's First Team All-Ivy Baseball roster as four Dartmouth players were honored in the 1997 year-end coaches' pick, announced yesterday afternoon. Junior Dan Godfrey was named as the league's top reliever, and Eric Anderson '99 was selected as the Ancient Eight's best catcher, while freshman Brian Nickerson and sophomore Mike Conway were named the top infielders in the shortstop and third-base positions, respectively. In all, Dartmouth earned eight mentions in the 1997 All-Ivy selections as outfielder Andrew Spencer '97 earned Second-Team honors, while Mike Armstrong '97 was named Honorable-Mention in the second-base position, and Aaron Meyer '00 took Honorable-Mention as Dartmouth's DH. Nickerson rounded out Dartmouth's billing on the league's elite roster as he was named Ivy League Rookie of the Year -- an honor somewhat dwarfed by his concurrent appearance on the Ivy's First-Team. Mike Conway '99 was the league's only unanimous First-Team pick as he rifled a sensational 61 hits on the season.

Three win All-Ivy honors for softball

By Jonathan A. Lee | May 15, 1997

The women's softball team earned three All-Ivy mentions as two sophomores and one senior were named to the Honorable Mention in this year's All-Ivy picks. Jane Peachy '99 was honored as one of the league's top catchers as she protected the plate on defense and then roped clutch hits on offense from the same spot on the field. Throughout the season, she made numerous appearances on the league's batting leaderboard. Senior Julia Doster was named one of the Ivy League's top outfielders as she kept the fly-balls from hitting the grass in centerfield all season long. In addition, Doster was the Big Green's only Ivy League Player of the Week honoree (April 5 selection). Sophomore Gretchen Saegh rounded out the Dartmouth contingent as she earned an Honorable Mention award for her solid play at first base. The Big Green ended their second varsity-status season with a 8-26-0 overall record, 1-11 Ivy.
