Men's hockey falls 5-4 in OT

By Jeff Beyer | March 6, 1996

TROY, N.Y.-Mar. 5 -- The Dartmouth men's hockey team was eliminated from the ECAC playoffs here tonight, losing a 5-4 game to RPI when Jon Pirrong scored the game-winner with 3:46 left in the first sudden-death overtime. It was one of the most intense, exciting games the men's hockey team has been involved with for many years -- and that might be an understatement. Pirrong ended the third-longest game in ECAC playoff history when Jean Francois Gosselin stole the puck behind the Big Green net and dished it in front. Pirrong's winner beat Dartmouth goalie Scott Baker '97 and sent the Hosston Freid Hasse crowd into a frenzy. Dartmouth Coach Roger Demment called it a "classic playoff game." He said the Big Green did a "tremendous job of coming back each time we were down," but added the squad could never "take the lead and run with it." "It's very difficult to lose a game like this," Demment said. Both goalies, Dartmouth's Baker and RPI's Mike Tamburro, were tremendous.

Collins '99 experiences stellar rookie season

By Brian Fleming | March 6, 1996

For most freshman athletes, their first season tends to be a time of transition, when they are asked to play a limited role on the team while learning from the upperclassmen. Nothing could be farther from the truth when describing the rookie season of skier Jen Collins '99. Not only has she proven to be the top individual performer on the Dartmouth ski team, she has also established herself as one of the top collegiate skiers in the country. "Jen has been an incredible asset to the team in both skiing ability and personality," Captain Nora Stowell '96 said. "She's the most unself-centered person I know, for being such an amazing skier.

By Sarah Hood | March 5, 1996

The women's track team finished in seventh place this weekend at the ECAC Championship meet, held at Northeastern University, their best finish in seven years.

Women's basketball splits with Yale, Brown

By Kate Shanahan | March 5, 1996

The Ivy title was impossible. Jen Stamp '96 was out for the season with a broken leg. And after falling hard to Yale Friday night in a 67-49 decision, it seemed the Dartmouth women's basketball team was ready to give up. The Big Green fought to the bitter end at Providence, R.I.

Women's hockey advances, scores in double overtime

By Erika Tower | March 4, 1996

They came to Hanover to settle the score. No such luck. The Northeastern Huskies traveled to Dartmouth this past weekend for the ECAC quarterfinals in hopes of showing themselves the dominant team and putting to rest an even 1-1-1 season record against the Big Green women's hockey team. Even without Dartmouth's first-line wing Malaika Little '97, who left during the first shift of the game with a broken wrist, the two teams again proved their equal talent. But it was the Big Green, not the Huskies, who came out on top, taking a 3-2 double overtime win off a goal from Sarah Hood '98.

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.
