Baseball downs Babson in its East Coast opener

By Jonathan A. Lee | March 28, 1997

The baseball team will try to improve on their 4-6 record as they travel to Merrimack College for a non-conference bout tomorrow at 1 p.m. The game follows a 9-6 Big Green victory over Babson College on Wednesday and a western spring break series which brought the team to an early 3-6 record. In Wednesday's game, Dartmouth took an early 1-0 lead before exploding for four runs in the third inning to all but put away the Babson squad. Sophomore Mike Conway sent a shot up the middle for the spot on first base before co-Captain Andrew Spencer earned a walk to get men on first and second. Aaron Meyer '00 belted a double into the outfield to send Conway and Spencer trotting home.

Women's golf team places third twice in Bermuda

By Sarah Hood | March 27, 1997

Unfazed by a five-month hiatus from competition, the women's golf team traveled to Bermuda over Spring Break to train and returned with a pair of third place finishes in tournament play. Last October, the women received a number of outstanding individual performances en route to ending their fall season with a strong eighth place finish in the ECAC Championships. Bermuda's warm temperatures and cloudless skies gave the linksters the opportunity to pick up their games almost where they left off in the fall, and the women took full advantage of the situation. Throughout the trip they played and practiced on three different courses, one of which, Mid-Ocean, is ranked among the top 100 courses in the world. "It was a fun course to play," Lauren Epstein '00 said.

Big Green scores 90-78 upset over Brown Bears

By Jonathan A. Lee | March 3, 1997

If this weekend were a movie, the women's basketball team would surely skip finals and just sit around watching it over and over again until the VCR blew out. Yup, this weekend's 90-78 upset over Brown (10-4) and the mind-boggling 63-48 comeback win over Yale (6-8) the next night would've really made for a great movie -- complete with some Oscar-worthy performances and a few rocks stars here and there. The opening scene against Brown was explosive as the Big Green's Bess Tortolani '98 drained an in-your-face triple to light up the scoreboard.

Women's hoops plays Brown, Yale at Leede Arena: With Ivy League title out of reach, Big Green seniors will play for pride in their last home game series

By Justin Evans | February 28, 1997

Though their Ivy League title hopes are no more, the women's basketball team will be looking to play the spoiler role this weekend, when the third-place Big Green(6-5) host second-place Brown(10-3) and fourth-place Yale(6-6). Against Brown earlier in the season, Dartmouth was on the receiving end of a 80-61 trouncing. Senior co-Captain Sally Annis hopes the team will improve upon their defensive and rebounding effort from their loss earlier this month. The pressure is on the Bears, however, who have to win all three of their remaining league games to have any shot at winning the title. Traveling to Yale on the same road trip as their loss to Brown, the Big Green downed the Elis 81-73.

Last spring, skier Dave Viele '98 blew out his knee. This past fall, he blew out his other knee. Then, this weekend, Viele proceeded to blow out the competition as he won the men's slalom event at the Eastern Intercollegiate Skiing Association Championships at Middlebury. Viele's victory helped the Big Green clinch the men's two-day alpine competition.
