Women's soccer wins two, stay atop Ivies

By Jonathan A. Lee | October 28, 1996

The women's soccer team had some fun this weekend. And why not? The Big Green were on top of their game; they had their opponents in their back pockets the whole time; and it was just a gorgeous two days to be kicking the ball around. On Saturday, the Big Green cruised past a sputtering Cornell squad with a 4-1 victory over the basement-bound Big Red. The lopsided score was predictable right from the start as the Big Green jumped to an early two-goal lead in the first 17 minutes of play. With 14 minutes down, senior forward Melissa McBean drove the ball down the middle and fed it to Christina Hallenbeck '97 in the box.

Women's volleyball extends streak to nine

By Justin Evans | October 28, 1996

It was a bittersweet weekend for the Dartmouth women's volleyball team. The team had the pleasure of beating Holy Cross on Sunday, 15-5, 15-7, 15-7, but the match also marked the last home performance for senior co-Captains Janene Ashford and Carmen Schmitt. "This was a great way to end," Coach Ann Marie Larese said. Ashford and Schmitt are the only players to have seen the program's evolution from club to varsity status that has occurred over the past three years. "We have made huge strides individually and as a program these past three years," Ashford said. The win extended the Big Green's (16-6) win streak to a school record nine games and leaves them one win shy of last year's record total.

Johnsons lead long legacy of Big Green golf success

By Sarah Hood | October 24, 1996

During the summer of 1976 at the Hanover Country Club two people who were to become a pair of the most highly respected collegiate golf coaches in the United States met for the first time. Bill and Izzy Johnson did not know each other before the National Golf Foundation Teaching Seminar held in Hanover that year, but when it was over the two had forged the beginning of a partnership and marriage that is now over two decades old. Bill Johnson is now in the middle of his 29th season at the helm of the men's golf program at Dartmouth, and Izzy is in her 10th season as the coach of the women's team.

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.

The Big Green wanted to reenter Ivy League play by making a statement to show that they were the team to beat in the league in the remaining weeks. Dartmouth accomplished that task in record-breaking proportions Saturday afternoon by dismantling Yale, 40-6 , on a cold, blustery afternoon that saw every opportunity blow the Big Green's way in the form of four Yale turnovers.

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.

Volleyball wins two Ivy matches, moves into first

By Justin Evans | October 21, 1996

It was truly a weekend of firsts for the Dartmouth women's volleyball team. Against Penn and Princeton, two teams that the Big Green had never defeated, Dartmouth came away with two victories, and for the first time in the history of the program, the Big Green now own a share first place in the Ivy League. 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.
