Athlete of the Week

By The Dartmouth | May 14, 1997

He is, arguably, the largest student currently enrolled at Dartmouth. But that fact alone doesn't make senior Alex Ghanotakis the big man on campus. What distinguishes this guy from the others is the fact that he won two field events at the Heptagonal Championships this past weekend. On Saturday, Ghanotakis defended his Heps title in the hammer with an NCAA qualifying toss of 206-4.

Six Big Green laxers named to All-Ivy Teams

By Jonathan A. Lee | May 9, 1997

Six Dartmouth lacrosse stars were named to the 1997 All-Ivy lacrosse teams late yesterday afternoon. The women's lacrosse squad led the Big Green in All-Ivy awards as all three captains earned spots on the Ivy League's First Team. Kim Mendelson '97 was named as one of the league's best attackmen while Andrea Krumholz '97 and Kelly Hannigan '97 won awards for their stellar play on defense. Mendelson, who is on the First Team for the second straight year, was slowed early in the season by an injury, but still managed 24 goals and two assists. Krumholz, who was Second Team All-League a year ago, held her defensive assignments to a combined 14 goals this season. Hannigan was tough on both ends of the field as she scored 17 points (8 goals, 9 assists) and recorded 64 groundballs/interceptions. Rookie attack Jacque Weitzel earned Second Team All-Ivy honors as did starting Big Green goalie Sarah Carlson '99. On the men's side, senior attack Brian Merritt was Dartmouth's lone representative on the All-Ivy roster as he earned Second Team honors for the 1997 season.

Women's lacrosse plays top-ranked Terrapins

By Jonathan A. Lee | May 2, 1997

The women's lacrosse team will cap off its regular season this weekend as they take on the top-ranked Maryland Terrapins at Chase Field on Saturday. The match is sure to be a battle between champions since the Terps clinched the ACC title on April 20 with a narrow 11-10 win over Virginia while the ninth-ranked Big Green earned a share of the Ivy League title with a 15-9 victory over Harvard three days later. The Terrapins, who will be shooting for their third consecutive national title, will enter the match with a near-perfect 17-1 record for the season.

BASEBALL: The Big Green used a 19-hit ballgame to beat the Crusaders of Holy Cross, 12-2, yesterday. Dartmouth took an early lead in the first, but then exploded in the third inning as they went through the full lineup and unleashed six hits to drive in five runs. Additional runs in the fourth and fifth, plus three more in the sixth put the Big Green over the top with an 11-run lead heading into the bottom of the sixth. Jon Aljancic '97 was king of the hill as he only gave up two runs on 11 hits over eight innings. On offense, Andrew Spencer '97, Aaron Meyer '00 and Brian Nickerson '00 each had three hits while Meyer recorded 4 RBI. MEN'S LACROSSE: Andrew Dance '99 had a spectacular day, making 22 saves and aiding his own cause with a goal, as the Big Green defeated UNH, 12-7, yesterday at Memorial Field. Dance, who scored to give the Big Green a 7-5 lead in the third quarter, was the backstop to a stingy defense, which shut out the Wildcats in two quarters and held UNH to just two goals in the second half. Brian Merritt '97, Brandon Henry '99 and Scott Watts '97 led Dartmouth with a hat-trick each. The team is now 4-7. WOMEN'S TENNIS: The Big Green closed out their regular season with a 6-3 loss to Harvard.
