Hockey takes Ivy roadtrip

By Ben Riefe | January 10, 1997

It's been a year of pleasant surprises for the Big Green men's hockey team. Picked to finish near the bottom of the ECAC, Dartmouth has amassed an 8-5 overall record, already one better than last year's win total of seven, and find themselves in the thick of things in the conference standings. Team chemistry, experienced players, increased offense production and sound play in net have boosted Dartmouth from a ECAC cellar-dweller to a team to be reckoned with. The Big Green have capitalized on these team strengths throughout the season. Coach Demment can't help but smile when talking about his close-knit team: "Only having lost three guys from last year, I feel we've adapted well to the style of play that will normally result in successful hockey.

Women's hoops wins two

By Justin Evans | November 26, 1996

When women's basketball coach Chris Wielgus went recruiting this past off-season, she went looking for height, and she got with two six-foot centers, but it was the shortest recruit of them all, Courtney Banghart, standing at 5'6" who led the Green over Army on Sunday. Coming off the bench, Banghart's 15 points in her 16 minutes of court time led the Big Green to a 69-48 win over the Knights. If the score didn't convey the total domination that was exhibited by the Big Green, perhaps one simple statistic will do the job.
