By Jonathan A. Lee | April 18, 1996

Yale nails men's lax 15-7 in final quarter

By Jesse Sweet | April 18, 1996

Yesterday, Yale's men's lacrosse team escaped the angst and urban decay of New Haven, Conn., enjoying a sweet 15-7 victory over old foe Dartmouth and avenging an embarrassing home loss a year ago. And emotions ran high. Not only were the two teams vying for the Ivy League championship, and a possible tournament berth, but the teams were tied for the 18th seed in the country. The two teams got into a dog fight in the first half as they scrapped for every ground ball, goal and possession.

Heavyweights sweep UNH crews

By Brian Fleming | April 18, 1996

The Big Green men's heavyweight crew team came away victorious in every race, as it swept the University of New Hampshire, in Durham, on Sunday. The freshmen boats were victorious in all three of their races, as was the junior varsity boat, which cruised to an easy win by more than 15 seconds. The varsity race proved to be the tightest for the Big Green rowers, as they managed to hold off UNH by a single boat length. The varsity race was neck and neck for most of the 1,750 meter course, but Dartmouth made a strong move with 100 meters remaining and pulled out the victory. One reason why the varsity boat may have struggled, while the junior varsity boat rowed strongly, was an unusual lineup change made for this race. Instead of anchoring the varsity boat as the members are accustomed, co-Captains Brian Palm '96 and Tom Gilmore '96 were switched into the junior varsity boat. "It was actually a lot of fun rowing with the junior varsity boat," said Palm.

By Jonathan A. Lee | April 16, 1996

Yesterday was one of those rare days when you just roll out of bed and get excited knowing that it's going to be a great day to play frisbee on the Green or take a nice run. Dean of the College Lee Pelton also decided to take a nice run in the Boston Marathon. Working together, Pelton and his wife, who also ran, managed to keep a steady, but comfortable pace from start to finish.

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.

Softball takes first sweep vs. Columbia

By Erika Tower | April 11, 1996

The Dartmouth softball team went out hard against Ivy League opponent Columbia University last Friday and never looked back. 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.
