Men's squash falls to Amherst, Trinity

By Hondo Sen | January 28, 1997

The Big Green squash team came the under fire of big time squash powerhouses, Trinity and Amherst, last week. "We've seen how we match up against top 10 teams," freshman Beau River said, "and now we got a taste for how the top four are." Ranked second in the country, behind Harvard, the Lord Jeffs rolled into Hanover last Wednesday. In an mostly uncontested matchup, Amherst routed Dartmouth 9-0. River, who challenged one of the top ranked squash players in the nation, took the first set, but he couldn't fight off the barrage of huge shots from his opponent. Down two sets, co-Captain John Gabel '98 stepped up his game enough to snag the third and fourth sets. However, he couldn't hold off his opponent in the fifth as he fell, 3-2. On Saturday, the Big Green traveled down to Trinity College to face Vassar and a talent-soaked Trinity squad. Dartmouth had little trouble against Vassar, dismantling them in a 9-0 rampage. But then there was Trinity. Like the Amherst squad before them, Trinity proved too much for the Big Green.

Men's hockey falls to Providence: Now 9-9 overall, Big Green prep for Saturday matchup at UVM

By Ben Riefe | January 23, 1997

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.

Athlete of the Week

By The Dartmouth | January 22, 1997

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?

Men's squash: the good just keep getting better

By Hondo Sen | January 22, 1997

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.

By Kate E. Buhrmaster | January 21, 1997

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.
