Men's lacrosse rebounds from weekend defeat, crushes Yale

By David Hemmer | April 20, 1995

Yesterday, for the first time since 1984, the men's lacrosse team defeated Yale , using a balanced scoring attack and stifling defense to take a 15-7 victory on the road. The win improved the 19th-ranked Big Green's record to 7-1 overall, 2-1 in the Ivy League. Yale fell to 5-6 on the year, 2-3 in the Ivies. Yale trailed the Big Green 5-1 early in the second quarter, but the Bulldogs would not lay down, rallying with three straight scores. Dartmouth returned the favor, putting up three quick goals of its own to take an 8-4 lead into halftime. Several penalties and substitution errors wiped out any chance of a Yale comback in the second half, and Dartmouth coasted to the 15-7 victory. Todd Smith '95 led the way for the Big Green, tallying four goals and an assist. Sophomore Scott Hapgood scored three goals and added one assist while sophomore Brian Merrit notched a goal and three assists. In all, nine Dartmouth players scored goals in the afternoon. Tom Zaccagnino led Yale with two goals and an assist.

Heavyweight crew victorious; women, lightweights defeated

By Charles Davant | April 18, 1995

The men's heavyweight crew team overcame the University of New Hampshire Sunday in a race on the Connecticut River, while the women's crew team and the men's lightweight team lost their respective weekend races. Every Dartmouth heavyweight boat beat its UNH counterpart, the varsity winning by a comfortable seven-second margin. Heavyweight Captain Mark Scott '95 said "I don't think anyone doubted we would win, but it is good to know we are where we were in years past." The first boat established an early lead over UNH, and gained more seats throughout the race, especially during a surge after the first 1,000 meters. "That is our most important piece," Scott said.

Princeton edges men's tennis 4-3

By Amy Hatch | April 18, 1995

Saturday afternoon the men's tennis team looked to keep its momentum gained from last weekend's wins over Pennsylvania and Columbia but unfortunately came up one point short of doing so. In their first away trip since break, the Big Green could not overcome the new surroundings and fell to Princeton in a tight 4-3 match. "It was really windy outside," Captain Kurt Bruggeman '95 said.

Cornell hands men's lax first loss

By Amy Hatch | April 17, 1995

The men's lacrosse team's six-game winning streak came to an end Saturday at Memorial Field when the Big Green dropped a disappointing 17-12 contest to Cornell. The loss could drop the Big Green, ranked 17th in last week's USILA poll, out of the top 20.

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.
