Baseball wins three of four vs. Brown

By Eric Petitt | April 17, 1995

When it went well for the Dartmouth baseball team last weekend, it went perfectly. But when the team's play turned ugly, as it did in the third game of its four-game series with Brown, it settled for nothing less than hideous. Fortunately for Dartmouth, the majority of the weekend focused on the former, as the Big Green, now 6-6 in the Ivy's and 10-13 overall, took three of four from Brown (3-9, 6-18) last weekend at Red Rolfe Field. Before the weekend series, Coach Bob Whalen said, "If we get consistent pitching we will get ourselves in a position to have a chance to win." In the three games the Big Green won, the team followed itscoach's wise words exactly. The weekend included two complete games for Dartmouth hurlers, but there was more to the total team effort displayed by ballplayers during the three victorious games. First, the run scoring returned in droves, with 25 runs in 21 innings, not to mention three home runs.

Women's lax to face Cornell tomorrow

By Erika Tower | April 14, 1995

In the past, Dartmouth has had difficulty beating this team on its turf. "We seem to take care of them at home, but it's always difficult to play there," women's lacrosse Coach Amy Patton said. But who is "them?" They are fellow Ivy-Leaguers Cornell University. Not ranked in the top 15 of the Brine/IWLCA poll this week, Cornell has bounced in and out of the rankings all season.

Women's golf takes sixth at Campbell

By Tom Trainor | April 12, 1995

The women's golf team returned to Hanover with mixed emotions after its tournament this weekend at Campbell University. Playing against a field of teams from the South, the Big Green showed their lack of practice on the first day of competition. While most of the teams in the tournament have been practicing since January, the women of Hanover have been unable to get on the course much due to snow and rain and just overall cold weather. This lack of practice time led to a last place finish on the first day of the tournament.

Women's lax hosts UMass today

By Erika Tower | April 12, 1995

It is their chance to "get back on track," Coach Amy Patton said. The women's lacrosse team needs to do just that when it hosts the University of Massachusetts today after a disappointing loss to then-eighth-ranked Penn State dropped Dartmouth from number two to number four in the latest Brine Poll, released yesterday. Penn State moved up three places to number five due to this win on its part.

Stewart '96 finishes fourth in kayak race: Wells '95, Shandro '98 win other races

By Matthew Holmwood | April 12, 1995

In some sporting events, finishing two seconds behind is not even close, but not in the sport of white water kayak racing. At last weekend's Mascoma kayak race, the second leg of the four-race New England Cup Series,Ian Stewart '96 finished fourth place, a mere two seconds out of third. An amazingly close finish considering the event is an individual, "you against clock" race down the river that can take upwards of 20 minutes to complete. Stewart, who finished third in the first leg New England Cup Series the weekend before, said he had "a good race, hit a few rocks ... missed a couple of lines" in the rapids. Overall Stewart was happy with his performance and said he looked to pull back those two seconds before the third race in two weeks time. Stewart said the event brought 10 competitors from as far south as New Jersey, and as far north as Quebec.In the Women's division Jamie Shandro '98, the Race Chief of the Mascoma Race, finished fourth. On Saturday 84 competitors entered the slalom kayak events.In the men's plastic boat division, which included many Ledyard Canoe Club members, Justin Wells '95 finished first.On the women's side, Jamie Shandro '98 finished first. Both Shandro and Stewart said the event, the nation's oldest collegiate white water race, went well. Stewart said the water level was decent, helped by a dam release.Shandro said she was happy with the number of volunteers who helped make the event possible.

After many months of preparation, including a spring tour in England, the women ruggers traveled to Princeton for the weekend.Along with Amherst, Dartmouth represented New England at Easterns.

Softball wins its first Ivy League contest as a varsity team: 6-4 victory over Brown earns Dartmouth respect in league, caps off otherwise disappointing weekend games

By Kate Shanahan | April 11, 1995

The Dartmouth softball team wonders if Brown will play them with the same attitude next year. The team defeated Brown on Sunday, 6-4 for its first ever Ivy League victory as a varsity team to give Dartmouth a 1-3 Ivy League record. For the Big Green, it was an exceptional defeat, considering Brown refused to play Dartmouth last year because of the Big Green's club status. The victory capped an otherwise disappointing weekend that saw the team drop a tough doubleheader to Fairfield on Friday and lose to Yale on Saturday "Before we played Brown we had the attitude that we could beat them," Coach Hank Tenney said. "In the first inning, we hit really well and then continued to play great defense" Tenney said.
