Men's hockey opens season with tie and loss on the road

By Jeffrey Beyer | November 6, 1995

The men's hockey team opened its regular season this past weekend in disappointing fashion with a tie and a loss in two road games against the University of Illinois-Chicago Flames. The Big Green fought to a 3-3 tie at UIC Pavilion on Friday night, but came up on the short end of an 8-6 decision on Saturday night. None of the weekend results will affect the Big Green in the ECAC standings, since UIC plays in the CCHA, and is therefore a non-conference opponent. But the team had hoped to start the regular season on an up note, and Saturday night's 8-6 shootout is especially troubling, given the team's stated desire to play a more defensive brand of hockey. Dartmouth 3, UIC 3 Friday night's contest featured both strong special teams and strong goaltending from both squads. UIC jumped out to a 1-0 lead when Chuck Mindel beat goalie Scott Baker '97 with a powerplay tally 3:42 into the first period, but Brent Retter '97 pulled the Big Green even with a powerplay score of his own less than three minutes later. After the Big Green went on top 2-1, thanks to a goal from Bill Kelleher '96, it appeared Dartmouth would hold the lead until the end of the period. But the Flames caught the Big Green napping, and evened the game at 2-2 with just two seconds left in the first stanza. UIC scored the only goal of the second period, a powerplay goal by Al Dunbar about halfway through the period. The third period was also quiet, with only one goal scored, but fortunately for the Big Green, it was Kelleher's second tally of the game.

Football carries four game winning streak to Columbia

By Eric Petitt | November 3, 1995

After a commanding 23-7 victory at Harvard last weekend, capping a flawless [4-0] month of October, the Big Green Machine rolls into the Big Apple to take on the upstart Lions of Columbia. Everything is riding on the clash between the Big Green and the Lions Saturday, as both teams are stuck in clear-cut, must-win situations. Dartmouth, 2-2 in the Ivies and 5-2 overall, brings a four game winning streak, second best in the League this year, to the Lion's den in New York City.

Men's hockey opens tonight; Big Green optimistic

By Jeffrey Beyer | November 3, 1995

With back-to-back non-conference games tonight and tomorrow night at the University of Illinois-Chicago, the men's ice hockey team officially opens its 1995-96 campaign. After a 6-3 exhibition victory last Friday over Dalhousie University, a Canadian squad, the Big Green are hoping to get off to a fast start, as they did last year when they opened with three wins in the first four games, including a 6-5 overtime thriller against nationally-ranked Vermont. But unlike what happened during the 1994-95 season, the squad is looking to carry the momentum of a quick start throughout the heart of the conference schedule. Last season the Big Green's quick start fizzled and by January the squad was mired in a 10 game winless streak.

Water polo concludes season

By Richard Petty | November 1, 1995

The Dartmouth Water Polo Club went into the Eastern Water Polo Association Championships at Williams with high hopes of playing in the finals and qualify for the National Championships at Buffalo next weekend. Unfortunately, the Big Green realized neither goal after a hard fought weekend. "We had very high expectations going into this season after our strong finish at the National Club Championships last year," Jamie Keenan '96 said. In the end, Dartmouth just lacked needed experience to pull through with the win. "The weakness of the teams in our league leaves us unprepared for the tougher competition we face in post-season.

Freshmen crew races

By Brian Fleming | October 31, 1995

The men's freshman crew team made a sterling debut in its first action of the season on Sunday during a 14 boat regatta held on the Connecticut River. The heavyweights placed two boats in the top five, finishing second and fourth, and the lightweights also rowed well earning sixth overall , which was first among the lightweight boats. The strong rowing of the Big Green was surpassed only by UNH, who's top boat won by a comfortable margin of nearly 25 seconds. Regardless, the Big Green freshman kicked off their collegiate careers in impressive fashion. "Our times have improved tremendously over the past two weeks," Tom Reynolds '99 said.

By Amy Hatch | October 31, 1995

Women's soccer falls to first-place Harvard

By Amy Hatch | October 30, 1995

For the second weekend in a row, the women's soccer team had to reschedule Saturday games to Sunday because of rain, and unfortunately, for the Big Green, for the second week in row, they had similar results. Dartmouth, who lost to Cornell last weekend 3-1 on a rescheduled Sunday game, came up short again yesterday as the Big Green fell to Harvard 3-2. Despite the day wait, the women came out strong in the first half, competing strongly with the Crimson who are currently in first place of the Ivy League. "We played really well the first half," co-Captain Holly Thomas '97 said.
