Hockey struggles over weekend

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.

After a sold out crowd of 4,400 two weeks ago in support of the struggling men's hockey team, and near-packed houses expected for two crucial men's basketball games this weekend, it is hard to imagine that student attendance at Big Green sports events is on the wane. In fact, it is.

With student attendance at women's basketball games on the decline, its become apparent that women's basketball is living in the shadow of the men's team. It's unlikely that current students simply aren't interested in women's basketball.

Tough competition from Princeton and Penn this past weekend left the men's and women's squash teams winless despite several strong individual performances. The men lost to Princeton 1-8 on Saturday, despite a gutsy performace from co-Captain Scott Hammond '96, who lost 2-3 "Scott Hammond turned in another stellar performance against a top national player," co-Captain John-Keith Wasson '96 said.

The men's track team stepped back into competition last Saturday hosting the University of Vermont and the University of Connecticut at home. The members of the men's team have reason to be pleased with their performances as they not only stepped up individually, but also won the meet, something they were not expected to do. Two weeks ago at the championship round of the New England Cup, the men finished third behind Brown and the same strong UConn team who visited Dartmouth's Leverone Fieldhouse this past weekend. Not this time.

The women of Dartmouth's sports teams, along with women and girls across the country, will be honored this weekend as part of National Girls' and Women's Sports Day. According to Marketing Intern Amanda Wood, over the course of the weekend, the College will sponsor several events "to honor the achievements of women and girls in sports." The College will kick-off this annual event on Friday night at the women's basketball game. "It's a great idea just to put the focus on women's sports," women's squash co-Captain Trisha Cunningham '96 said.
