Soccer team keeps Ivy title dreams alive

By Amy Hatch | September 29, 1995

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 Eric Petitt | 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.

By Kate Shanahan | September 29, 1995

After losing All-Americans Ted FitzPatrick '95 and Sam Wilbur '95 to graduation, the men's cross country team had huge shoes to fill, but Dwyer has successfully led his team so far this season.

Soccer loses to Connecticut

By Kevin Demoff | September 28, 1995

The men's soccer team lost their bid to win their first game of the year when two late Connecticut goals lifted the Huskies to a 4-2 victory over the Big Green at Storrs, CT.The loss dropped the Big Green to 0-6 on the young season as they enter Ivy League play this weekend at Yale. With the scored knotted 2-2 in the 84th minute of the contest, Connecticut's Dan Sapienza broke the tie with his second goal of the half when he received a pass as he broke free across the goal box and sent a shot towards the far post, beating Big Green goalkeeper Matt Nyman '99.

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.

By Richard Petty | September 26, 1995

The Dartmouth water polo club began the fall season ranked fourth in the nation. After the Eastern Water Polo Association's tournament at Dartmouth this weekend, the reasons for that ranking became clear.

Cross country races at Boston

By Graham Alig | September 26, 1995

The Dartmouth cross country teams were tempered as they ran their first stiff contest Saturday in Boston. The Boston Invitational boasted traditionally strong running teams such as Providence, Life College, and Villanova. Dartmouth struggled slightly against that competition, but in the end, the women finished second and the men fifth. Boston was a most important meet for the women, who faced powerhouse Villanova, while for the men, the race experience was the greatest trophy to be reaped. Although the race was not too significant, runner Chris Langan '96 was looking forward to Boston, "It's a nice flat course which should be conducive to fast times," Langan said. The profile of the course paid off for John Dwyer '96 who ran a stunning race placing second.

The meet was held at the Hanover Country Club, and the home course advantage may have been a benefit for the for the trio of Sara Vogler '96 (89-86), Jessica Hughes '97 (91-84) and Samantha Sommers '99 (90-85) who all finished at 175 for the weekend.
