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.

By Amy Hatch | November 13, 1995

The women's soccer season came to an end Saturday afternoon as the Big Green fell 3-0 in the semifinals in the ECAC Championships.

Runners qualify for national tournament

By G. Casanova Alig | November 13, 1995

With a strong performance this weekend in the IC4As and ECAC Championships the men's and women's cross country teams earned themselves a trip to the NCAA National Championships next week in Ames, Iowa. To qualify for the championships, the Big Green cross country teams needed to place in the top two of the New England (District 1). Both Big Green teams did just that, finishing second behind top ranked Providence inside their district. In all district competition of the ECACs the Dartmouth women placed third overall behind Providence and District 2 winners Villanova.

Hockey loses two on road

By Jeffrey Beyer | November 13, 1995

The men's hockey team played two very different games this past weekend against conference opponents Union and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, but unfortunately for the Big Green, each contest had an identical result -- Dartmouth losses. The Big Green dropped a 6-2 decision to the Union Skating Dutchmen on Friday night and were defeated by the RPI Engineers by a 5-1 margin on Saturday night. The two losses drop the squad's overall mark to 0-3-1, with an 0-2 record in the ECAC. In dropping the back-to-back decisions, the Big Green wasted standout performances from many of the freshmen on the squad, including Matt Giedt '99 and Scott Peach '99, each of whom scored their first collegiate goals over the weekend. But ultimately it was an anemic offense -- totalling only three goals over two games -- that did the Big Green in.

Men's hockey takes to the road for first two conference games

By Jeffrey Beyer | November 10, 1995

After a disappointing opening weekend that saw the men's hockey team earn a tie and a loss against the University of Illinois-Chicago Flames, the squad is looking for its first win of the young season as regular season conference play begins in earnest this weekend. The Big Green will play ECAC road games tonight against the Union Skating Dutchmen in Schenectady, N.Y., and tomorrow night against the RPI Engineers at Troy, N.Y. Coach Roger Demment and the players said a strong commitment to defense will be necessary for the team to be successful this weekend. The squad's newly installed defensive-minded system was quite effective last Friday night, holding UIC to only three goals, but the defense came unraveled during the Saturday nightcap, resulting in eight goals allowed. "It is going to take nearly flawless defense to beat RPI and Union," goalie Ben Heller '97 said.

By Mark Woodard | November 10, 1995

The Dartmouth football team is on fire and the Big Green do not look as if they are about to let up heading into the last two weeks of the season. If everything falls into place, Dartmouth could even find themselves with a share of the Ivy League Championship. Yet the Big Green are not thinking that far ahead yet.

Big Green ranked second in press poll

By Eric Kowack And Amy Hatch | November 8, 1995

In the Ivy League Preseason Media Poll, which was conducted among 16 members of the media, the Dartmouth men's and women's basketball were ranked second for the 1995-96 season. The picks came as little surprise for Dartmouth supporters since the men, third last year in the Ivy League, have a strong core of returning players, while the women, last year's Ivy Champions, are known for their annually strong teams. The poll was released in time for the Ivy League conference call yesterday afternoon in which Ivy League men's and women's basketball coaches shared their brief outlooks for the upcoming season.
