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.

Men's hockey battles Princeton, Yale at home

By Jonathan A. Lee | February 21, 1997

A two-game sweep over Princeton (9-7-2) and Yale (4-12-2) would be sweet for the Big Green this weekend. It's certainly something the players all want -- but more importantly, a sweep is something this team absolutely needs if it wants any chance of playing in the post-season. The Big Green are currently 10th in the ECAC, five slots south of the Tigers and one notch above the Bulldogs. "The implications of this weekend's games are enormous," said Head Coach Roger Demment.

Senior forward Sea Lonergan has done it all before. And this weekend, he did again in high style as he poured in 34 points to lead the Big Green through a two-game sweep over the Empire State Ivies. Against Columbia, Lonergan shot 6 for 10 from the floor and went 5 for 7 from the line to help Dartmouth tally its largest Ivy margin of victory (82-47) since 1959. In Big Red country, Lonergan equaled his previous night's point total as he shot 6 for 12 from the field and was a perfect 4 for 4 from the charity stripe.
