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.

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.

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.
