Men's soccer remains only undefeated team in League

By Brian Fleming | October 22, 1996

For a young Dartmouth squad which entered this season looking to prove that it was better than its 6-11 (3-4 Ivy) record last year, the Big Green are certainly on track. With Saturday's win against Yale, the Big Green moved to 2-0-1 in the Ivy League and remain the only undefeated team in the League, as Pennsylvania had a stunning upset against a top-ranked Cornell team. Now, midway through the season, Dartmouth is first in the League, but Harvard and Cornell follow close behind with 3-1 and 2-1-1 Ivy records respectively. An Ivy League Championship is not only significant becomes of its prestigious meaning, but also because the League winner receives an automatic bid into the NCAA tournament. "Right now I think Harvard and Cornell will get bids no matter what," co-Captain Dave Moran '96 said.

Women's soccer wins in overtime

By Jonathan A. Lee | October 21, 1996

The women's soccer team duked it out yesterday on a dripping Chase Field en route to a gutsy 4-1 victory over the Yale Bulldogs. The icy-cold rain made it tough for the spectators and the double overtime made it even tougher for the players. But in the end, the Big Green win was well worth the wait, and all the wetness that came along with it. Both teams worked the field aggressively in the first half, exchanging rushes and charging the net on several occasions.

By Justin Evans | October 21, 1996

The Big Green (14-6, 4-1 Ivy) battled tradition and 15 years of funding in the Quakers (9-8, 2-2 Ivy) and the Tigers (6-8, 2-2 Ivy). The Dartmouth team, which received varsity status and funding little more than two years ago, proved that it is now the team to beat in the league. "Our dream has come true," Danra Kazenski '99 said.
