Men's hockey splits UVM series

|

It was the best of times and the worst of times for the men's hockey team this weekend in its home-and-home series against ECAC rival University of Vermont. The Big Green turned in their most thrilling win of the season with a 6-5 overtime victory over the Catamounts Friday night, but were blown out on Saturday night 10-1 for their first loss of the season. Going into the two-game set, the Big Green had good reason to expect a tough fight.

Women's volleyball ends season with hopes for next

|

While the women's volleyball team's record this season may not seem successful, it does not reflect the effort and enthusiasm these women put into the first fully-funded varsity season of volleyball. The team ended the season with a 2-18 record overall, beating the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore in its first match and Wagner College in the Harvard Tournament two weekends ago. In the Harvard tournament, the Big Green won one of the four matches they played, beating Wagner 3-2 and losing to Harvard 0-3, University of Vermont 1-3 and University of Hartford 0-3. Dartmouth lost their first match to the host, Harvard, in three games, 0-15, 5-15 and 8-15.

Field hockey ends season with honors

|

Although the Dartmouth field hockey team was unable to defeat the University of Maine last week and gain the ECAC title, the Big Green ended the season with a successful 3-2-1 record in the Ivy League, allowing them to receive three All-Ivy nominations. Lauren Demski '96 and Sarah Devens '96 were named to the first team All-Ivy, while Cynthia Roberts '96 was named to the second team. Demski, Dartmouth's goal keeper, finished the season with 123 saves and seven shutouts, and an astonishing 0.8 goals-allowed-per-game average. "I thought many of the keepers in the Ivy's had great seasons, so it was a pleasant surprise to be nominated to the All-Ivy team," said Demski. Power-forward Devens led the team in scoring again this year, racking up an impressive six goals.

Sometimes first place is not the best position to be in. Big Green runner Sam Wilbur '94 found that out the hard way at the IC4A Championships at Franklin Park in Boston on Saturday. After trailing behind the 200 runners in the beginning of the 6.2-mile race, Wilbur turned on the speed at the five-mile mark and made his move into the first-place position, passing Brian Spoonire of Seton Hall.

Equestrian team finishes third at last meet of season

|

Even though Dartmouth's varsity equestrian team placed consistently third or fourth throughout the season, individual riders' rounds have jumped into higher places in the last two shows. At the beginning of the season, the team scored few high places at each competition, but the vans heading back to Hanover from the shows at Boston University and the University of New Hampshire were full of blue, red and yellow ribbons. Five of the 26 riders at BU placed first in their divisions, six second and five third while nine of the 15 riders at UNH scored in the top three spots. "We started a little slow but I think we ended up really strong," co-captain Christine Sandvik '97 said.

Big Green fight Eagles in third and win 5-4

|

The men's hockey team kicked off the regular season in good fashion as it beat a quality Boston College squad 5-4 Saturday at Thompson Arena. With the win, the team hinted that this season could be much different from last year, when it finished with a disappointing 5-21-1 record. Dartmouth came into the match-up with the Eagles flying high after ending the exhibition season Friday night with a 6-2 win over Williams College. The win gave the players a boost of confidence as they prepared for the Eagles, who have historically been a challenge for the Big Green.

Dartmouth tames Lions in last home game

|

It all came down to pride for the Dartmouth football team as it squeaked by the Columbia Lions 14-13 in its final home game of the season Saturday. Knowing that it had no chance of winning the Ivy League title, the heavily injured Big Green set out to avoid losing to Columbia for the first time since 1971 and for the first time to the Lions at Memorial Field since 1941. The game was not pretty, but Dartmouth was able to outwork the Lions all day to earn the win, though nearly blowing it in the closing moments. Dartmouth improved to 2-3 in the Ivy League and 4-4 overall.
