By Erika Tower | October 16, 1995

It will be a day to remember for the women of the Dartmouth volleyball team. Not only did the team improve its record to 12-6, but it captured its first Ivy win in its history as a fully-funded team. The team went into Leede Arena this weekend with a mission to improve its Ivy League record and defeated Columbia University in five games. "We needed this win," Coach Ann Marie Larese said.

Women's soccer loses to BC

By Amy Hatch | October 12, 1995

After losing to Boston College 2-1 yesterday afternoon, the women's soccer team is looking to overcome something it is not used to having -- a losing streak. The Big Green, who were Ivy Champions two years ago and runner-ups last year, have been known for consistent play, but so far this year Dartmouth is struggling to find that winning combination. "We just need to come back together," forward Melissa McBean '97 said.

New hockey assistants named

By Jeffrey Beyer | October 12, 1995

As the men's ice hockey team continues its preparations for the opening of the regular season next month, the players are not only becoming familiar with each other, but are also trying to acquaint themselves with an almost entirely new coaching staff. Three of the four coaches from last year are gone, with Head Coach Roger Demment being the only returnee from 1994-95. In somewhat of a coaching revolving door, last year's assistant coaches, Matt Carlin, Mike Cavanaugh and John Fletcher are out, and newcomers Guy Perron, Rob Abel and Doug Weiss '88 are in. First-Assistant Coach Carlin left the team at the end of the summer to take a similar position with the Cornell University hockey program.

Beth Crenshaw '99, a women's cross country runner, has made significant improvements this year as a freshman which helped lead her team to first place last weekend at the Maine Invitational earning her this week's athlete of the week award. "Beth was very important because she really came through and enabled us to get six women in before Boston College's third," co-Captain Kristin Manwaring said.

By Richard Petty | October 11, 1995

This weekend, the water polo team embarked on its most vicious and torturing trip of the season encompassing two tournaments in two days. First up were the Ivy League Championships where the Big Green found themselves challenged by the big three varsity teams of the Ivy League -- Brown, Princeton and Harvard. "It's really a big compliment to the program and to the team to be invited," Coach Jim Wilson said.

Rugby kills Amherst: Men prepare for title match this weekend

By Matt Miller | October 11, 1995

The Men's Rugby team plays the University of Connecticut this Saturday in a match that will determine the New England Championship -- a title the Big Green has held for six of the past 10 years. The game, which will be at home on Chase Field, will be a game fans won't want to miss. This past weekend, the ruggers showed just why they are in a position to win it again, as they routed Amherst 74-11. Amherst came into the match looking to repeat its victory of last spring over the Big Green.

Football faces red zone scare

By Mark Woodard | October 11, 1995

There is a new red scare in Hanover this fall. No, communists have not taken over Baker Library. This scare is taking place at Memorial Field, home to the Dartmouth football team, and it would be more fittingly called a red zone scare. The red zone is the area on the football field inside of the opposition's 20 yard-line.

Tennis reaches semis at ECAC's

By Gabe Galetti | October 11, 1995

The Dartmouth men's tennis team enjoyed a successful weekend, advancing to the semifinals of the ECAC Team Championships, a tournament featuring all of the Northeast's top teams. The Big Green's result came courtesy of wins over Army 6-1 and Yale 6-0, but the run was ended by Harvard with a score of 6-1. "I thought it went extremely well for this point in the season," Captain Holden Spaht '96 said. Particularly impressive was the shutout victory against Yale, a win in which the Big Green did not drop a single set. "In all my years of coaching, I never remember beating Yale that badly," Coach Chuck Kinyon said. In the win over Yale, the Big Green stormed out of the gates by sweeping all three doubles matches.

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.

By Brian Fleming | October 10, 1995
