Big Green split weekend games

By Jeffrey Beyer | February 19, 1996

The Dartmouth men's hockey team came tantalizingly close to a two-game sweep this past weekend, which would have put the squad in prime playoff position -- but instead the Big Green had to settle for a split, which in the end left them no better off than they were before the games were played. On Friday night at Thompson Arena, Dartmouth notched a convincing 3-1 victory over the RPI Engineers, and on Saturday night it looked as if the Big Green were well on their way to at least a tie with the Union Skating Dutchmen, before a late goal propelled Union to a 3-2 victory. A win for the Big Green on Saturday night would have given them 11 points and left the squad all alone in ninth place, just one point behind RPI for eighth in the ECAC -- with the chance for a home game in the opening round of the playoffs. But instead, the split leaves the Big Green (4-13-1 ECAC, 5-18-2 overall) in a three-way tie with Union and Princeton for ninth place in the ECAC, all three teams with nine points. Yale sits in the ECAC cellar, though the Bulldogs are just one point behind the pack, with eight points.

Men's basketball misses opportunity

By Kevin Demoff | February 19, 1996

There is little doubt that without help from either Brown or Yale, a 1-1 split on the weekend's New York road trip to Cornell and Columbia would have all but eliminated the Big Green's hopes for an Ivy League title and their first trip to the NCAA tournament since 1959. So, after losing a 61-57 overtime battle at Cornell on Friday night, the only thing Dartmouth could do was turn to the scoreboard and hope for an unlikely victory.

Women's basketball wins two

By Amy Hatch | February 19, 1996

With less than three weeks left in regular season play, the women's basketball team successfully proved that the Big Green women are ready to take the Ivy League Championship as they dominated League opponents Cornell and Columbia this past weekend at home in Leede Arena. Friday night Dartmouth, ranked two in the League, battled number three Cornell which on paper was to be a tough game.

Big Green beat Harvard

By Mark Woodard | February 15, 1996

Last night against Harvard, the men's volleyball team sprang back after losing the first game, winning three straight games and completing a season sweep of the rival Crimson. At first, the Big Green looked as if they were unready to play, just as they were Saturday against Plymouth State.

Men's volleyball to play Harvard

By Mark Woodard | February 14, 1996

Tonight at 7:00 p.m. in Leede Arena the Dartmouth's Men's Volleyball team will face Harvard in what looks to be a grueling rematch of these two Ivy League powers. When they first met this season in Cambridge, Dartmouth was able to come out quickly and surprise the Crimson with consistent passing and evenly spread attacks.

Athlete of the Week

By The Dartmouth | February 14, 1996

In the Big Green's two wins against Penn and Princeton this past weekend, freshman Bess Tortolani was a key player to come off the bench. With 17 points against Penn and 16 against Princeton, Tortolani, primarily a forward, also racked in a total of 11 rebounds and nine assists. "She came off the bench and did great for us," teammate Sally Annis '97 said.

Big Green split over weekend

By Austin Whitman | February 14, 1996

The men's squash team beat Hobart 7-2 and lost to Franklin and Marshall College 4-5 this past weekend at F&M in Pennsylvania. Coach Chris Brownell said that the match against F&M "went a little better than expected." The team was missing Jon Gabel '98 but still managed to pick up four wins from co-Captain John-Keith Wasson '96, Zach Segal '98, Bill Tarr '98 and Ross Hallock '97.

Vermont wins Dartmouth Winter Carnival

By Brian Fleming | February 13, 1996

The Big Green had to settle for yet another second place finish overall, as poor snow conditions and a powerful University of Vermont nordic team propelled the Catamounts to victory at last weekend's Dartmouth Winter Carnival. The lack of snow in Hanover forced the nordic races to be moved to Stowe, Vt., UVM's home course, and the Catamounts took full advantage of it.

Hockey struggles over weekend

By Jeffrey Beyer | February 12, 1996

The Dartmouth men's hockey team continued to slide this past weekend, dropping two ECAC road games at Cornell and Colgate and in the process slipping into a three-way tie for last place in the conference. The Big Green fell 4-2 to the Cornell Big Red on Friday night and were blasted 8-2 by the Colgate Red Raiders on Saturday night. With the two defeats, the Big Green (3-12-1 ECAC, 4-17-2 overall) are now tied with Union and a suddenly resurgent Princeton for 10th place in the ECAC, with all three teams holding seven points. Following a strong start to the 1996 calendar year, which saw the Big Green vault into ninth place in the conference on the heels of three straight ECAC wins, the team has gone winless since Jan.
