Men's hockey drops two home games

By Jeffrey Beyer | November 20, 1995

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.

Swimming opens with success

By Richard Petty | November 14, 1995

Dartmouth's men's swimming team opened its season this weekend in Sherbrooke at the eighth annual Canadian-American challenge meet. The Big Green finished in second place out of 12 teams, powered by strong individual performances and team spirit. "I think the most important thing about the weekend was that we maintained a positive attitude and swam smart races throughout the twelve hour meet," Ben Lannon '96 said. The Big Green started quickly when exchange student Eric Brunner '97 won the second event of the meet, the 200 meter breaststroke, in a time of 2:27.46. Brunner opened the race with a tremendous burst of speed, quickly dominating the competition and opening a lead which no one could surpass. Later in the 50-meter breaststroke, Brunner and teammate Lannon placed first and second with times of 31.26 and 31.37, respectively. After a three hour lunch break, the Big Green again returned with a quick start. Grier Laughlin '96, Brunner, Geoff Walford '99 and Jon Kenyon '97 combined to swim a 4:03.31 in the 400 meter medley relay, taking second place out of 30 teams. Brunner competed in the 100 breaststroke, hoping to complete a three for three sweep.
