Field hockey splits over weekend

By Ben Riefe | October 1, 1996

The path didn't get any smoother for the Dartmouth field hockey team when the Big Green rolled into Princeton on Saturday for the start of a weekend road trip. Going into the game with a 3-2 record -- including tough, overtime losses to Boston College and Northwestern -- the team was looking for an upset against the nationally ranked Tigers. But the Tigers weren't about to let the Big Green even make this game close, as they scored five goals in the first half in route to a 7-1 victory. The Big Green just could not find their rhythm, as Princeton kept the heat on Dartmouth's defense, unloading shot after shot from inside the circle and taking a 5-0 lead at the half. "We just didn't play very well," Lauren Scopaz '00 said.

Football squeaks by Lehigh

By Kevin Demoff | September 30, 1996

While it may not have been the efficient dismantling of a Patriot League opponent, all that mattered when Dartmouth boarded the bus home on Saturday was that the Big Green had earned a 21-14 victory over the Lehigh Engineers to improve their record to 2-0 overall. It was a vision of last year's victories, trying to run the ball at every opportunity on offense while the defense was stingy giving up yards and in taking away the ball, with the offense converting turnovers into touchdowns.

By The Dartmouth | September 26, 1996

Scopaz scored a three-goal hat trick during the Big Green's convincing 6-1 victory over Penn.

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.
