Rugby kills Amherst: Men prepare for title match this weekend

By Matt Miller | October 11, 1995

The Men's Rugby team plays the University of Connecticut this Saturday in a match that will determine the New England Championship -- a title the Big Green has held for six of the past 10 years. The game, which will be at home on Chase Field, will be a game fans won't want to miss. This past weekend, the ruggers showed just why they are in a position to win it again, as they routed Amherst 74-11. Amherst came into the match looking to repeat its victory of last spring over the Big Green.

Football faces red zone scare

By Mark Woodard | October 11, 1995

There is a new red scare in Hanover this fall. No, communists have not taken over Baker Library. This scare is taking place at Memorial Field, home to the Dartmouth football team, and it would be more fittingly called a red zone scare. The red zone is the area on the football field inside of the opposition's 20 yard-line.

Tennis reaches semis at ECAC's

By Gabe Galetti | October 11, 1995

The Dartmouth men's tennis team enjoyed a successful weekend, advancing to the semifinals of the ECAC Team Championships, a tournament featuring all of the Northeast's top teams. The Big Green's result came courtesy of wins over Army 6-1 and Yale 6-0, but the run was ended by Harvard with a score of 6-1. "I thought it went extremely well for this point in the season," Captain Holden Spaht '96 said. Particularly impressive was the shutout victory against Yale, a win in which the Big Green did not drop a single set. "In all my years of coaching, I never remember beating Yale that badly," Coach Chuck Kinyon said. In the win over Yale, the Big Green stormed out of the gates by sweeping all three doubles matches.

Volleyball suffers tough losses

By Erika Tower | October 10, 1995

The streak could not last forever. After winning eight of its last nine games, the women's volleyball went 0-2 this past weekend. The team fell to defending Ivy League champion Princeton and to the University of Pennsylvania, dropping Dartmouth's record to 10-5 for the season. "I think this weekend was a very good learning experience for the team," Captain Carmen Schmitt said. On Friday night, the Tigers pounced upon the Big Green and took three consecutive games, 9-15, 5-15, 5-15. Princeton's outside hitter Ayesha Attoh tallied 11 kills for her team to help propel the Tigers to victory. On the other side of the net, outside hitter Alison McKinley '99 and setter Felicity Kolp '99 maintained Dartmouth's game.

Golf team struggles in weekend tourney

By Paul Costello | October 10, 1995

Even a perfect recipe will not come out right if you add too much water. Unfortunately, the Dartmouth men's golf squad learned this lesson the hard way at last weekend's wet Dartmouth Invitational. Weather conditions were less than desirable, and with the exception of a respectable second place finish by co-Captain MacKenzie Hurd '98, so was the team's performance. The men finished in the middle of the pack -- eighth overall, out of a field of 16.

By Brian Fleming | October 10, 1995

Dartmouth covered the three and a half mile course in 18:10.

By Amy Hatch | October 9, 1995

Men's rowing starts fall season

By Brian Fleming | October 6, 1995

When the Dartmouth men's heavyweight crew team puts its boats in the water this weekend at the Head of the Connecticut, the Big Green will not merely be embarking on their first race of the fall season, but will also be embarking on a yearlong quest for the national title. With an experienced team, that has seven out of eight members from last year's top boat returning, this year's men's heavyweight crew clearly has its eyes set on winning a championship. Although expectations are high, Captain Tom Gilmore '98 pointed out that the team will be aiming to progress steadily throughout the fall and get stronger as the year progresses. Gilmore made it clear that early season race results are not necessarily as crucial as the practical experience they provide.

By Kevin Demoff | October 5, 1995

After shutting out the University of New Hampshire 1-0 last night, the men's soccer team finds itself on a two game win streak following an 0-6 start to the season. The Big Green must now prepare to face nationally ranked Brown on Sunday in a clash of Ivy League co-leaders. Yesterday, the game's only goal came as a result of a poorly played ball by the New Hampshire goalkeeper.

By The Dartmouth | October 4, 1995

McKinley, who was voted Ivy League Player of the Week, led Dartmouth with 28 kills and 26 digs in the Big Green's upset over Bucknell last weekend. "She's a really intense player," teammate Felicity Kolp '99 said.
