Ski team disappointed with weekend results

By Brian Fleming | February 28, 1996

The Eastern Intercollegiate Skiing Championships were not quite the springboard the Dartmouth ski team had expected heading into the NCAA Championships next month -- the team finished a disappointing third. The University of Vermont returned to the top spot after being temporarily dethroned last weekend by the Big Green.

Hockey falls just short

By Erika Tower | February 27, 1996

A 3-3 tie with Brown two weekends ago proved crucial this weekend when the women's hockey team went head to head with Ivy opponents Yale and Princeton. Despite wins over both Yale (2-0) and Princeton (2-1), the team ended regular season play just one point behind Cornell, leaving the Big Red, rather than the Big Green, Ivy League Champions. Dartmouth closed the season with a 19-8-3 record overall, 7-1-2 in the Ivy League. The team will have to put the disappointment of falling just short of the Ivy League championship behind them quickly, for the Big Green on Saturday afternoon host Northeastern in the quarterfinals of the ECAC Postseason Tournament. The third-seeded Big Green will face off with sixth-seeded Northeastern at Thompson Arena at 12:30 p.m.

Hockey remains in playoff picture

By Jeffrey Beyer | February 26, 1996

If the Dartmouth men's hockey team makes the ECAC playoffs this season, the number one reason will be the dramatic game-tying goal by Jon Sturgis '98 with just two seconds left in Saturday night's game against Yale in New Haven, Conn that allowed the Big Green to escape with a 3-3 tie. Sturgis' goal salvaged what was shaping up to be a disastrous weekend for the squad -- the team had already lost 5-3 to Princeton on Friday night -- and kept the Big Green alive in the race for a postseason berth.

By Richard Petty | February 26, 1996

The women's swim team closed its season at the ECAC Championships held at Harvard, as the Big Green finished sixth out of ten teams with 301.5 points. "I think the season was made great by the women on the team," Emilie Ellis '97 said.

Basketball looks to upset League's top teams on the road

By Kevin Demoff | February 23, 1996

The rainy weather that the men's basketball team will endure during this weekend's road trip to Princeton and Penn serves as a perfect metaphor for the Big Green's schedule. The weekend's contests will be stormy and trying, but as soon as the storm is over and the clouds lift, the clearing skies will also leave a clear view of the race for the Ivy League title heading into the final weekend of play. For Dartmouth to be a part of that picture, the task is simple -- it must sweep both Penn and Princeton.

Track hosts Heptagonals, hopes for strong finish

By Sarah Hood | February 23, 1996

This weekend Dartmouth's Leverone Fieldhouse and the men's and women's track teams will play host to the rest of the Ivy League and Navy at the League's championship meet, the Heptagonals. Both teams figure to be in the middle of the hunt for a title in a hotly contested race, and the top finishers could come in any order.

Ski team places first in carnival

By Brian Fleming | February 21, 1996

The Big Green ski team finally broke through last weekend and captured their first overall victory of the season at the Williams Winter Carnival. In the process Dartmouth also thwarted the University of Vermont's bid to go through the carnival season undefeated. Dartmouth's victory was keyed by several tremendous performances on the nordic team. On the men's side, Cory Smith '96 and Colter Leys '96 finished second and third respectively, in both the 11 kilometer freestyle and the nine kilometer classic pursuit. In both races the only competitor that managed to best Smith and Leys was the dominant Thorodd Bakken of UVM. The women were lead by Denali Kemppel, who skied to a fourth place finish in both women's nordic races. Due to a faulty timer, the giant slalom races were cancelled, but that didn't slow down the men's and women's alpine teams.

By Amy Hatch | February 20, 1996

The Dartmouth track teams were in action this past weekend competing in the Dartmouth Invitational.

Four matches and numerous games later, the Big Green emerged with a fourth-place finish in a field of roughly 30 other colleges from across the country. The Howe Cup represents the national team championship for women's college squash.

Volleyball improves to 15-1

By Mark Woodard | February 20, 1996

Following last week's huge victory against Harvard and follow-up 3-1 dismantling of Boston College, the men's volleyball team did not let up going into weekend competition, as the Big Green captured two more wins to improve their record to 15-1. On Saturday the Big Green played two matches against the University of Maine and the University of Vermont easily winning both 3-0. "Neither match was very intense," co-Captain Jeremy Longinotti '96 said.
