Men's lacrosse stays undefeated in Ivies

By Kevin Demoff | April 15, 1996

A strong first quarter propelled the men's lacrosse team to an easy 15-6 win over Cornell Saturday at Ithaca. The win kept the Big Green, ranked 19th in the nation, perfect in the Ivy League, improving their record to 2-0, with an overall record of 4-2. Cornell started off the scoring just 1:16 into the first quarter, but it did not take the Big Green long to recover. Tom Scott '96 responded with an unassisted goal just 50 seconds later.

Baseball falls in doubleheader

By Eric Petitt | April 15, 1996

There was no joy in Mudville this weekend. The Dartmouth baseball team lost two ugly ones to the Quakers of Pennsylvania in New Hampshire's sloppy spring conditions at Red Rolfe Field. In their Ivy League home opener against last year's Ancient Eight Champion and sole representative to the NCAA College World Series tournament, the Big Green barely showed a heartbeat, compiling seven hits and one extra base hit -- a two-run dinger by rookie right fielder Nick Ratliff '99 -- in both games. "Penn's a good team and they can put alot of runs on the board and do it quickly," Head Coach Bob Whalen said. He also said his team's layoff due to poor weather hurt them against the Quakers.

Sykes '99 named All-American

By Jonathan A. Lee | April 12, 1996

Not all college athletes get to be All-Americans, and certainly not all college athletes get to be All-Americans during their rookie seasons. However, each year there is that handful of awe-inspiring freshmen standouts who just seem to outshine their upperclass peers and rivals in their respective sports. This year, Dartmouth's very own ace squash player Laurie Sykes '99 is among these special few.

Men's golfers swing into season's action

By Paul Costello | April 11, 1996

The men's golf team kicked off its spring season with a strong showing at the Campbell Invitational in Buies Creek, North Carolina early this week. Coach Bill Johnson, now entering his 30th year at the helm of the Dartmouth men's golf squad, was pleased with the team's performance. Though plagued by illness, the team managed to come in seventh out of a field of 12, including Campbell College, Davidson College and UNC at Greensborough. With the home field advantage on its side, the Campbell College squad took the tournament with a score just barely over par. After playing a quick warm-up round at Duke University's course on Saturday, the team arrived in Buies Creek for a practice round on Sunday, followed by two tournament rounds on Monday, as well as one on Tuesday. Mid-50 degree weather allowed for decent conditions at the Kieth Hills Country Club. However, as noted by Jon Heaton '99, the course contained many dogleg rights, which are holes that start straight and then make a sharp angle to the right. Many of the Dartmouth golfers prefer to draw the ball, bringing it from right to left, so these holes proved to be difficult for the Big Green. In spite of this fact, Jay Danzi '98 managed to post a 76 and a 74.

The Big Green swept the Big Red in both games of the doubleheader, coming away with two wins, 3-0 and 8-0. Not only did the team walk away with two W's to add to its record (now 4-14), but it also came away with its first sweep of the season and the first ever perfectly pitched game in Dartmouth's history. Christina Maybaum '98 tossed for the Big Green in this record-setting first game, allowing no hits and striking out four batters.

Pelton to run Boston Marathon

By Jonathan A. Lee | April 10, 1996

It happens once a year. Thousands of runners from every corner of the earth and from all walks of life flood the Boston proper to compete in the world's oldest and most prestigious annual marathon the Boston Marathon. This year, Dean Lee Pelton will be joining this flock of world-class runners. Of course, running marathons is not the type of thing you would expect from a college dean. But for those who know Pelton, and for those who have seen him working out at the gym, his spirited urge to tackle these grueling 26.2 miles should come as no surprise. "I've always been a seasonal runner ... and a year-round basketball player," Pelton said with a smile.

By Brian Fleming | April 9, 1996

The team traveled to Connecticut where it was swept in all five races by Ivy League opponent Yale last Saturday. The first varsity boat finished well behind Yale's first boat's 5:41.2 pace, coming in at 5:48.0. Dartmouth's most successful effort came from the second varsity boat.
