Men's hockey team travels to Vermont for twin-states rematch
It's finally here. The day in which two teams battle it out with all their might and soul. It's the Super Bowl.
Something had to give in Tuesday night's match-up between the Big Green and the Providence College Friars. Dartmouth entered Schneider Arena with a perfect 4-0 record against Hockey East opponents, while the Friars were trying to stop their ECAC nightmares after going 0-5 against the conference. Sweet dreams came to Providence Tuesday night as they managed a 5-2 victory over the Big Green, even though each squad seemed to wish they didn't have to play at all. The loss dropped Dartmouth to the .500 mark, at 9-9, as they kicked off a tough four game road trip that brings them to Burlington, Vermont on Saturday to face UVM. For a team that got hot at the end of last season and won the Hockey East tournament, Providence entered Tuesday's game playing surprisingly mediocre hockey. Their strength lied in their experienced forward, and All-American candidate in goal -- Dan Dennis. However, the Friar's decided to rest their senior star, and go instead with untested sophomore Mark Kane.
Scoring one goal in a hockey game is good. Scoring two goals in a game is even better. And scoring three goals in a game is definitely someting to write home about, right? Well, what if you're like sophomore forward Ryan Chaytors and you decide to dent the net three times in a single period?
The women's squash team improved to 4-1 this weekend with a 9-0 thrashing of the Cornell Big Red in Ithaca, New York this past Saturday. As in their last three matches, the Big Green humiliated their opponents in little time, recording their third team shutout of the season. Laurie Sykes '99 started off the afternoon in the number one spot in true form. Co-Captain Heather Duckworth '98 followed suit as she defeated her opponent in under thirty minutes.
Vermont uses 9-2 second half run to seal win against Dartmouth
The men's squash team marched into Ithaca this past weekend to face Cornell and Rochester in a double-header that could've put the brakes on the Big Green's unprecedented hot streak. However, in yet another exhibition of Dartmouth domination, the men dropped both opponents in convincing style. Boosting their record to 7-0, the men's squash team defeated Cornell 9-0 in a perfect match, and then Rochester 8-1. "We're working our way to the top of the heap of collegiate teams, one team at a time." commented Beau River '00. Co-Captain Russell Echlov '97 showed Cornell's Patrick Kempe how it's done, taking the match in three, 15-3, 15-12, 15-13. Echlov's success continued on into the next match as he beat Rochester's No.
The Dartmouth nordic teams kicked off their collegiate carnival circuit this weekend with signs of good things to come. Several individual skiers had superb results and though the cross-country teams couldn't quite hold on to the second place position that the alpine teams earned last weekend, they finished a very respectable third behind the University of Vermont and the University of New Hampshire. Friday, the University of New Hampshire hosted two races at the Jackson Ski Touring center to complete the carnival that began with alpine races at Attitash Mountain last weekend. Abi Holt '99 and Jessica Smith '99 led the charge for the Big Green women.
Senior Andrea Hill and sophomore Courtney DuBois dominate
The Big Green's track and field teams smashed through their opposition this weekend with the men's team snagging the Challenge Team Cup in Boston while at home the women's team won the consolation division of the New England Challenge Cup. Dartmouth men's track team defeated seven other schools on Friday on their way to victory.
Two weeks ago, they split the weekend's games with Colby and UNH. A week ago, it was with Princeton and Yale. This past weekend proved to be another disappointing weekend for the Dartmouth women's hockey team. The team hosted Cornell and St.
Men's Squash: The Big Green continued its strong play Saturday blanking Cornell 9-0, in an Ivy League Match before downing Rochester, 8-1.
"I hate turnovers." But senior point guard Kenny Mitchell '97 has no pre-dispositions to turn-arounds.
The end is near. Only one more week to hype up, over-analyze and wait for the Super Bowl. Some twenty weeks of preparation have boiled down to one single game.
Men's hockey goes 1-1 over the weekend
Finally. The Student Assembly's action last Tuesday to support funding of the Kresge Weight room was a sensible decision to address a subject that has been on the minds of students for several months now. The $8,500 will be a start for the many additions and repairs the weight room needs, but it is time the administration responds to the Assembly's challenge to match and better that donation.
Big Green take on Clarkson and St. Lawrence this weekend
Bowdoin rolled into Hanover yesterday, hoping to tarnish Dartmouth's 4-0 record. But when it came time to play, Bowdoin was caught off guard and couldn't handle the Big Green's firepower. Like the four opponents before them, Bowdoin was left biting the dust, without even winning a single match.
