Men's basketball drops weekend pair

|

This season's roller coaster ride took another dip this weekend as the Big Green men's basketball team dropped games on the road to powers Pennsylvania and Princeton. The losses virtually eliminated the Big Green from Ivy title contention, although few doubted that Penn would win it this year, anyhow. Pennsylvania 73, Dartmouth 62 On Friday, at the intimidating Palestra in Philadelphia, Penn., the men kept the game close before falling, 73-62.

Gilmore 94, Lonergan '97, named Players of the Week

|

The Dartmouth basketball teams swept four games this weekend, so it should not be surprising that Dartmouth also won this week's Ivy League Player of the Week honors. Guard Sea Lonergan '97 was named men's Ivy League Player of the Week for the third time this season for his play in two Dartmouth victories last weekend.

Hockey breaks slump

|

With its playoff hopes fading and a brutal nine-game losing streak staring them in the face, the men's hockey team was not expected to put up a tough fight this weekend at Thompson Arena. But someone forgot to tell the Big Green, who erupted with back-to-back wins, a 7-3 trashing of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a 6-5 decision over Union. The wins were the team's first since Dec.

Fencers prepare for next week's New England Championships

|

The weekend after Winter Carnival, the Dartmouth men's and women's fencing team will compete in the New England Championships. Men's Co-Captain Matt Richardson '97 is guardedly optimistic about the men's team's chances, saying that there is a "really good" chance that they will finish amongst the top three, and possibly win. Women's Captain Bethany Marston '97 also predicts an improved performance this year, as the women's team, "will fence a full team this year." Last year only two women competed. The men's team is currently ranked fourth in New England, and Richardson said that, "since that time we have really been coming on." At last year's Championship, the men's team finished seventh in a competition of 15 teams. Both the men's and women's teams have improved over the last three years since Josh Marks '96, Zach Stein '96 and Vanessa Butnick '95 brought fencing back to Hanover.
