Women's basketball kicks off season with home exhibition

By Justin Evans | November 13, 1996

Their English may have been lacking, but the players on Spartak Prerov, a women's basketball team from the Czech Republic, sure knew how to play the game created and made a success by Americans. On a road trip that takes them to 10 different campuses in the Northeast, the Czechs spoiled the home opener of the Dartmouth women's team by defeating the Big Green 67-64 in an exhibition game that came down to the closing seconds. Spartak Prerov's three straight airballs to open the game, and Dartmouth's turnovers indicated opening jitters on both sides.

Men's soccer ties Columbia in OT

By Brian Fleming | November 12, 1996

When the Dartmouth men's soccer team stepped onto a muddy Chase Field on Sunday, it knew it was out to earn some respect from its Ivy League foe, Columbia, and salvage the remains of what has been an up and down season with a victory. The Big Green certainly did earn some respect on Sunday grinding out a gritty performance, but they fell short of the win, settling for a 1-1 tie with the Lions. With the tie Dartmouth now stands at 6-7-2 overall and 2-2-2 in Ivy League play.

Women's soccer closes out season

By Amy Hatch | November 11, 1996

Old age and experience won out yesterday afternoon, as the women's soccer team dismantled a young Columbia Lions team 2-0 at Chase Field. It was the battle between a strong Dartmouth soccer program that for the past four years has been a symbol of Ivy dominance and a young Columbia program that until this year has consistently held a place in the Ivy League cellar. It was the battle between two leading scorers -- Dartmouth's Jenna Kurowski '97 who has led the Big Green this season with 14 goals and five total points (third in the league) and Columbia's Tosh Forde who lead the league in scoring with 44 points. And finally, it was the battle between nine Dartmouth seniors who played in their final regular season game and seven Columbia freshmen who have three years left of looking ahead. But by the time 90 minutes had passed by on a soggy Chase Field it became obvious that the Dartmouth women were the teachers; the Columbia youngsters were the students; and there still was a lot more to be learned. Dartmouth outshot Columbia 25-2, as Big Green goalie Annie Eckstein '98 needed to make only one save to earn the win. "I think we played well," Captain Holly Thomas '97 said.

The Big Green couldn't have dreamed of a better execution of their game plan against Columbia. They went in knowing they needed to balance their offense, play strong run defense, control the clock and not turn the ball over.

Hockey opens ECAC competition tonight

By Ben Riefe | November 8, 1996

Dartmouth hockey's schedule starts to slowly heat up this weekend, as the Big Green opens ECAC conference play with a pair of games Friday and Saturday night against Union and RPI, respectively. On paper, these would appear to be ideal opponents early in the season, as the Big Green's weekend opponents were picked as the ECAC cellar dwellers for the 1996-97 season.

Last weekend at the Heptagonal Championships in New York City, N.Y., these two runners led the Dartmouth runners to their third straight Heps Championship. For the second year in a row, Sanchez won the event and Manwaring came in second.

Women's soccer suffers 2-2 tie

By Jonathan A. Lee | November 6, 1996

Black bears are dangerous. The women's soccer team learned this the hard way yesterday as they tied the University of Maine Black Bears 2-2 at Chase Field. Maine jumped into the driver's seat early on as Sophie Lecot punched a loose ball into the Dartmouth net at the 37:47 mark to put the Black Bears up by one. The Big Green had little time to recover as the Black Bears sank their second goal eight minutes later.

Volleyball overcomes Northeastern 3-1

By Justin Evans | November 6, 1996

Looking to get ready for the Ivy League Tournament in nine days, the Dartmouth women's volleyball team came away with a four game win over Northeastern last night 15-8, 15-7, 10-15, 16-14. Playing in Boston, the Big Green (17-8, 4-3 Ivy) were surprised by an improved Husky team. "The played a much quicker offense than what we saw before," Coach Ann Marie Larese said, referring to Dartmouth's three game win over the Huskies earlier in the season. The match opened up with eight rotations without a point being scored, but Dartmouth's tenacity pulled them through. "We played aggressively the whole time," Larese said. The players on the court weren't the only ones getting excited about the match, however.
