When collegiate golfers talk about the difficulty of playing Yale's formidable course, they describe it as daunting, unbelievably hard or extremely difficult. This past weekend the Big Green women found out that their peers weren't kidding around as they earned a hard-fought sixth place finish at the Yale Fall Invitational in New Haven Connecticut. The first hole is played over something that could almost be described as a quarry.

Soccer loses first League game
By

The women's soccer team fell victim to another Dartmouth casualty Friday when it lost a disappointing 2-1 game to Yale in New Haven. The women, now 4-2-1, will most likely drop out of national rankings as a result of the loss, but more importantly the Big Green have put themselves in a difficult position in the Ivy League. Dartmouth, now 1-1 in the League, will have to win the remaining Ivy games if the Big Green hopes to even share a part of this year's title. But the Big Green do not plan to dwell on the past, nor do they want to look to far ahead in the future.

A 2-1 victory over rival Yale gave the men's soccer team its first win of the season in their Ivy League opener Saturday night at Yale. Forward Hunter Paschall's '96 two goals gave the Big Green all they needed as they improved their record to 1-6 on the year, 1-0 in League play. After a scoreless first half, Paschall scored his first goal of the game as he shook loose from his defender at midfield and crossed the field, reversed his direction 18 yards from the goal and beat Yale goalie Adam Sullins. Paschall extended the Big Green's lead five minutes later on a penalty kick given to Dartmouth when a Yale defender knocked a Big Green shot away with his hands, preventing a sure goal.

For the Dartmouth football team this weekend, there could be few more excruciating ways to let a win slip through one's fingers. The Big Green (1-2) fell to Cornell (2-1) 24-19 in a hard-fought, heart-wrenching home opener, as 8,030 exasperated fans at Memorial Field arduously watched on. "It's very disappointing because I thought our team played very hard," Dartmouth's Coach John Lyons said after the grudge match. "We had a chance to win the ball game, and we just couldn't capitalize.

The women's soccer team will travel to New Haven this afternoon to take on Yale at 7:30 p.m. in the Big Green's second Ivy League game this season. Dartmouth, 4-1-1, had its first Ivy League win last weekend at Pennsylvania, and the Big Green will look to keep their Ivy record unblemished as they battle the Bulldogs. "Our goal this season is to win the Ivy League Championship," Jenna Kurowski '97 said. With a group of talented juniors led by leading scorer Kurowski, past All-American Melissa McBean and last year's All-Ivy co-Captain Holly Thomas, the chances for the Big Green to win the Ivy title look good. So far this season, the Big Green have struggled some, but still have managed to pull out the key games when necessary.

Big Green ready for Cornell
By

| September 29, 1995
This Saturday, the Dartmouth football team will open its home schedule against Cornell in hopes of setting the stage for a successful Ivy League season. Besides all the tradition basked in this 112th home opener to Dartmouth football, the contest between the Big Green and The Big Red will be crucial in setting the season's tone for these two teams. "Cornell is in a similar position to us in terms of their record,"Coach John Lyons said about the upcoming contest, in which both teams enter the grudge match 1-1 in the season and winless in the Ivy League. For Dartmouth, this momentum-setting game is that much more important when stacked up against its play in the past. Last year's 2-5 finish was the team's worst record since 1987, and the first time since the Ivy League of Football was born in 1956 that Dartmouth finish in last place [tied with Harvard]. For years, Dartmouth owned the Ivy's, compiling a total of 16 championship titles in the league's 39 year history, upping the ante for a Big Green resurgence. Dartmouth may also have a score to settle with Cornell, who robbed victory from the Big Green last year with a touchdown in the last 49 seconds to give Cornell the 17-14 win. Many of Cornell's weapons from that game return this year, including the top-rated rushing duo in the Ivy League, running backs Chad Levitt and Terry Smith. "I think first of all we have to do a good job up front, stopping their run game," Lyons said.

Big Green encountes quarterback question
By
Mark Woodard
| September 28, 1995
Following last Saturday's sloppy 34-14 win over Fordham, questions about the Big Green offense arose as Dartmouth juggled quarterbacks throughout the game. Football Coach John Lyons summed up the reason for his team's subpar play, "we have to get better, more consistent play out of our quarterback position; both those guys have to be a little more consistent." During the 1991, 1992 and 1993 seasons, this problem was nonexistent since the Big Green were blessed with quarterback Jay Fielder '94, who led Dartmouth to two Ivy League championships and one second-place finish. In 1994 Fielder left Dartmouth to pursue a professional career with the Philadelphia Eagles, and he left Lyons with a gaping hole to fill. At the end of the 1993 season the general assumption was that Ren Riley '96 would be given the job of leading Dartmouth's offense.
