Women's basketball wins

|

With last night's 81-73 win against Siena, the Dartmouth women's basketball team showed exactly why they were ranked number two in the Ivy League preseason polls. Key plays by freshman Gyvonne Pinkston and Sally Annis '97 enabled the women to tie the game in regulation and dominate the five minute overtime. Siena led by one at the half when the score was 40-39, but Dartmouth came back in the second half with several players scoring in double figures.

|

Crew The men's heavyweight crew team concluded its fall season this weekend at the Foot of the Charles in Boston, and although the team did not manage to crack the top 10 with any of their boats, the race was not a total loss. "We definitely didn't perform the way we would have liked to this weekend," said co-Captain Brian Palm '96.

Men's swimming overcomes Brown

Men's hockey drops two home games

|

There is an old adage in sports that says the first win of the season is the hardest one to get. The men's hockey team -- still winless through six regular season games -- will attest to this, having lost games to Colgate and Cornell over the weekend despite playing possibly its best hockey of the season. The Big Green dropped a tough 3-2 decision to the Colgate Red Raiders Friday night at Thompson Arena, and fell to the Cornell Big Red 4-3 in overtime on Saturday night. The losses dropped the Big Green to 0-5-1 overall on the season and 0-4-0 in the Eastern College Athletic Conference. Still, Coach Roger Demment asserted no one on the team is panicking. "It's still early in the season," he said.

By placing second in the show sponsored by Boston University, the Big Green earned its highest place this year. Dartmouth was in first place at the show until BU's top rider squeaked by with a win in the last division, boosting BU's score to 41.

Sailing team finishes successful fall season

|

Not rain, not sleet, not even snow was going to stop the Big Green women sailors from competing in the annual Atlantic Coast Championships this past weekend at Hobart. After canceling all races on Saturday because of high winds, the women sailors had to scrape ice off the boats and bail out snow on Sunday morning in order to sail. "There were some interesting conditions," Coach Brian Doyle said.
