Athlete of the Week

By The Dartmouth | September 26, 1996

Field hockey rookie Lauren Scopaz '00 has been selected as this week's athlete of the week for her efforts last Saturday against Penn. Scopaz scored a three-goal hat trick during the Big Green's convincing 6-1 victory over Penn. "With so few upperclassmen, we've had to rely on the freshmen, and she has just done a great job stepping up into the starting center forward position," tri-Captain Kelly Hannigan '97 said.

Men's hoops takes Portugal excursion

By Jonathan A. Lee | September 26, 1996

Question: what do mad cab drivers, huge men in spandex, and the beaches at Coletta have in common? Answer: they're all things that the men's basketball squad ran into during their recent trip to Portugal. Every four years, athletic teams can travel abroad for preseason trips, but the men's hoops venture to Portugal definitely did not turn into a typical roadtrip. While basketball was a focal point for the Big Green, the trip was mingled with numerous other experiences that the Dartmouth men are sure not to forget any time soon. One thing the squad learned early on during their visit is that there is something that's faster than Kenny Mitchell '97 at point guard.

Sailing team sets goals high

By Amy Hatch | September 25, 1996

Summer lives on in the hearts of one group of Dartmouth athletes. The Big Green sailing team refuses to let fall set in and will not be bothered by the typical, chilly Hanover weather as they prepare for a long fall season filled with numerous weekend regattas. Already this season, both the men and women sailors have performed particularly well, proving to New England and other eastern teams that Dartmouth sailing is a top-notch program that will be difficult to defeat. In fact, the women sailors have already earned a ranking of two in the nation, a position that Coach Brian Doyle feels is more than fair. "We have a lot of female talent in our upperclassmen," Doyle said.

Women's soccer defeats Penn 5-1

By Sarah Hood | September 24, 1996

With seven of the top eight scorers returning from the 1995 Big Green women's soccer team, it is no wonder that it was a total team offensive effort that powered Dartmouth to a 5-1 win over the visiting University of Pennsylvania last Saturday. Kate Andrews '96 scored on a penalty shot after a red card was given to Pennsylvania's Heather Herson with 5:34 left in the second half to make the score 3-1. That goal broke open a one -goal game and killed any momentum the Quakers might have built up.

Field hockey overcomes inexperience

By Amy Hatch | September 24, 1996

The 1996 field hockey team entered this season plagued with doubt and sheer inexperience. Having lost six starters to graduation and one senior tri-captain to a season-ending back injury, the Dartmouth women were suppose to enter a rebuilding stage. But the rebuilding stage for the Big Green was short-lived, as several younger players have stepped up their play and disputed any doubt in this year's squad.
