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.

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

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.

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.

Water polo struggles in weekend tourney

By Richard Petty | October 3, 1995

Last week, the Dartmouth Water Polo Club dropped to seventh in the nation despite a perfect record by its A team, and the Big Green were looking to prove they deserved a higher ranking this past weekend at home in the Dartmouth Invitational. After last week's EWPA tournament where the Big Green defeated teams to the tune of 31-2 and 31-1, the team looked poised to rise in the national rankings.
