Men's soccer fights to the finish with Cornell

|

With the Big Green's record now at 5-3-2, their chances of being contenders in the NCAA tournament are endangered. The men's soccer team dominated in its game against Cornell this Saturday, but was unable to outscore, allowing the Big Red to walk away from Chase Field with a 2-2 tie. "We gave a tremendous effort," Coach Fran O'Leary said.

Big Green fall to Cornell, lose Oberle '95 to injury

|

Adding to a season already replete with devastating injuries and heartbreaking losses, the Dartmouth football team fell to a tough Cornell squad 17-14 Saturday, in the process losing star running back Pete Oberle '96 to a knee injury and watching its hopes of winning an Ivy League title further dwindle. With the loss, the Big Green drop to 3-3 overall and 1-2 in the league, a full two games behind both Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania (3-0 in the league) with only four games remaining in the season. Also in doubt is whether Oberle, who was hurt in the middle of the first quarter on his second rushing attempt, will be able to return to action this season.

Men's soccer gets back on the ball

|

The men's soccer team, still recovering from its disheartening 1-4 loss against Brown Oct, 8, rebounded by beating Boston College yesterday 1-0. On the second game of a four-game road trip, the Big Green pushed across a goal in the 88th minute to down the Eagles after a scoreless first half and quite an uneventful game in general. Despite the fact that the team had to play without its All-Ivy defender, Ian Saward '95, the remaining players were able to get the job done on their own. John Bosacco '96, at the very end of the second half, was able to shoot his third goal of the season, which resulted in Dartmouth's well-earned victory. Basacco felt that the players were concentrating more at Wednesday's game and attributed the change to the way they played on the weekend against Brown.
