Ski team takes fifth place at NCAA finals

By Jennifer Wulff | March 27, 1995

The Dartmouth ski team finished fifth out of 21 colleges competing at the NCAA championships earlier this month at the University of New Hampshire. The races were hampered by several delays due to the weather, but still concluded on time. After finishing eighth at last year's national championships, the Big Green used a strenuous year of training to move up three spots, edging out all but one of the Eastern colleges in the competition. Vermont, the winner of last year's NCAAs, finished a disappointing third this year, losing the title to the University of Colorado, which lost its bid to host the event to the University of New Hampshire. Utah finished second place and Denver University edged out the Big Green for fourth place. The first day of the events included the freestyle Nordic races.

Runners prepare for NCAA championships

By Matthew Holmwood | March 8, 1995

Three members of the Dartmouth track and field team will spend this weekend competing for All-American honors at the NCAA Indoor Track Championships. Distance runners Sam Wilbur '94, Ted FitzPatrick '95 and Maribel Sanchez '96 met the NCAA qualifying times during the season and will compete against the nation's best runners. Sanchez and FitzPatrick will run in the 5,000 meters, where they are currently ranked eighth and 12th in the nation. Women's Coach Sandra Ford-Centonze said she hopes Sanchez "competes the way she is capable." Ford-Centonze said Sanchez has "a legitimate shot at being an All-American." Sanchez did not run last weekend, instead preparing for the championships. Men's Coach Barry Harwick said FitzPatrick also has an excellent chance of becoming an All-America. But Dartmouth's best shot at an individual title rests with the legs of Wilbur, who will run the 3,000 meters. "Sam will be one of the of the favorites in the that event," Harwick said.

Roller-coaster season grinds to a halt for men's hockey team

By Jeffrey Beyer | March 8, 1995

The men's hockey team hoped the 1994-95 campaign would be a model of consistency, with discipline and hard work leading to a string of victories and resulting in a playoff berth. But instead, the Big Green embarked on a roller coaster ride that saw the team both struggle and shine, and when the final games of the regular season were over, the squad had narrowly missed the playoffs. The Big Green finished the season in 11th place in the 12-team ECAC with 16 points while compiling a 7-11-2 ECAC record and a 9-16-2 overall mark. Coach Roger Demment said the 11th-place finish was frustrating, because the team knew it was better than an 11th-place, non-playoff team. The season started out with a flurry, as the squad came back from a 4-1 deficit to Boston College to score four unanswered goals and take a stunning 5-4 victory in the season opener.

Women's hockey exceeds expectations, wins Ivy League crown

By Erika Tower | March 7, 1995

It was supposed to be a rebuilding year. Dartmouth was not supposed to win the Ivy League, nor was it supposed to reach the ECAC tournament. But the women's hockey team did just that, finishing the season with a 16-8-4 overall record, 7-1-2 Ivy League record, and a banner reading "Ivy League Champions" to remind future spectators of the 1995 season. What gave the team this success?

By Rohit Chandra And David Hemmer | March 6, 1995

"There hasn't been a Dartmouth team since '59 that has done any better," exulted Dartmouth Coach Dave Faucher after his Big Green beat Cornell Saturday night. With wins over Columbia and Cornell this weekend, the Big Green finish their season with a tremendous 10-4 mark in the Ivies (13-13 overall) and will tie for second place if Princeton loses at Pennsylvania this week. Senior Captain Jamie Halligan went out with a bang, scoring 21 against Cornell to go with nine rebounds and some sparkling assists to Sea Lonergan '97.

Hockey to host Yale, Princeton

By Jeffrey Beyer | March 3, 1995

The men's hockey team has only two more games to show it deserves a spot in the ECAC playoffs. But, unfortunately, it may be too late. A three-game losing streak has left the Big Green (5-13-2 ECAC, 7-16-2 overall) entrenched in last place in the ECAC and on the brink of elimination.
