Men's hockey recruits strength, speed

|

With a strong recruiting class of seven incoming freshmen, the men's hockey team stands a strong chance of rebounding from the loss of six varsity players from the 1994-95 squad next season. The loss of senior forwards Dion Del Monte, Mike Stacchi and Patrick Turcotte will deal a major blow to the offense, while the graduation of Trevor Dodman and Yanick Roussin will hurt the defense.

Nelson turns lacrosse team around with patience, touch coaching

|

Men's lacrosse Coach Tim Nelson took on the impossible and has proven that the Dartmouth men's lacrosse team can be as successful as any other Big Green sport. Six years ago if someone predicted the team would sport a winning record and be nationally ranked, few on campus would have believed it. Nelson, however, came to Dartmouth and was determined to bring respect back to the Big Green men's lacrosse team.

Women's hockey attracts four recruits to replace Rochat '95

|

Concerned that five Sarahs and one Sara were not enough for the women's hockey team, Coach George Crowe brought in one more of each among his four recruits for the Class of 1999. Sarah Halsell and Sara Nelson along with Wendy Soutsos and Kathleen O'Keefe will join the team next fall in an attempt to repeat the success of this past season when the team made the quarterfinals of the ECAC tournament and shared the Ivy League title with Princeton.

Heavyweight crew defeats Syracuse

|

The heavyweight crew team drubbed Syracuse in a controversial race through rough waters yesterday morning. Referees afterwards called for a rerace, saying the choppy water in Syracuse's lane was not replicated in Dartmouth's lane, contributing to Dartmouth's six-second victory over the 1,500 meter course. But the coaches decided to let the original decision stand. "The referee was a complete idiot," Dartmouth Coach Scott Armstrong said. Armstrong speculated one reason Syracuse did not pursue a rerace was because it had failed in its obligation to produce a fair course. Because of unrowable conditions, Syracuse had shifted from the Onondaga River to a different, shorter section of water. "Hell, it is their race course.

Track wins New England Championship

|

With the team huddled round to cheer and the meet tied at 85 senior pole vaulter Scott Shimooka came through and cleared 15'9", guaranteeing the points necessary for Dartmouth to defend its New England Championship crown and commencing a team celebration, a victory lap, and the dunking of Coach Barry Harwick. Shimooka's clearance was good for fifth place, bringing Dartmouth's point total to 87, two more than second place Brown.

D-Plan creates unique problems, benefits for College athletes

|

The Dartmouth-Plan gives students opportunities they might not otherwise have by allowing them to take off-terms during the academic year and to spend a summer term on campus. But for athletes, especially the two- or three-season athletes, whose athletic schedules conflict with programs they otherwise might take advantage of, the D-Plan can be a hindrance. "There is a definite emphasis on year-round training and many of our seasons overlap anyway," Director of Athletics Dick Jaeger said.
