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?

Men's basketball stakes claim to second

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.

Men's hoops fights for second place in Ivies

By David Hemmer | March 3, 1995

Second place in the Ivy League will be on the line this weekend when the Dartmouth men's basketball team hosts Columbia and Cornell to close out its 1994-95 edition. If Dartmouth wins both games, and Princeton loses one of its next three games, the Big Green will guarantee themselves a tie for second place. "We're pumped up, excited.

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.

Playoff chances still alive, barely

By Jeffrey Beyer | March 3, 1995

The cryptic playoff picture in the ECAC will be finalized for good this weekend, the last one of the regular season. As convoluted as it is, there is a scenario that would allow twelfth-place Dartmouth to get into the postseason dance. To make the playoffs Dartmouth must first win both of their games this weekend, against Princeton and Yale and hope the Union Skating Dutchmen lose both their games on the road, against Colgate and Cornell. This would lift Dartmouth into a tenth-place tie with Union. The first tiebreaker is head-to-head record, which would not break the tie, since the Dartmouth-Union season series ended tied 1-1. The second tiebreaker is composite points against the Top 4 league teams.

Rochat '95 provides offense, leadership

By Erika Tower | March 2, 1995

Fans of the women's hockey team hardly bat an eye anymore when the announcer at Thompson Arena drones "Dartmouth goal scored by number four, Rachel Rochat." Rochat, the captain and lone senior on the women's hockey team, showed the Dartmouth community and beyond what she was made of this past season. Rochat finished the season as the team's second leading scorer, only six points behind teammate Sarah Howald '96.

Blackwell '91 signs with Celtics

By David Hemmer | March 2, 1995

James Blackwell '91 signed a 10-day contract with the National Basketball Association's Boston Celtics Tuesday, beefing up the Celtic's beleaguered collection of point guards. Celtics point guard David Wesley is out for a month recuperating from knee surgery performed last Thursday, while point-guard Jay Humphries is out indefinitely, also with knee problems. The injuries left the Celtics with only one point guard, Sherman Douglas. This is Blackwell's second stint in the NBA.

Swimmers finish best year ever

By Richard Petty | March 1, 1995

The women's swim team has finished its most successful season ever. Its 8-3 regular season record and sixth place finish at the Eastern Seaboard Championships last weekend earned the team the distinction of best squad in Dartmouth history. At Easterns, Dartmouth scored 341 points to earn sixth place -- Princeton finished first with 635 points. "I am extremely happy with how our team did the entire season, and I believe the team will have even more success next season," Captain Cory Murphy '95 said.
