Cross country team ready to fight at NCAAs

By Erika Smart | November 15, 1994

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

By Kristen King | November 11, 1994

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

By Jennifer Wulff | November 8, 1994

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

By Eric Petitt | November 7, 1994

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.

Soccer, four years later...

By Amy Hatch | November 3, 1994

After four grueling Fall terms together, not to mention seemingly endless months of off season training, the four seniors who make up the core of this year's outstanding women's soccer team have grown to appreciate all the advantages varsity athletics can provide. "I would say that the four of us know each other in and out," Mya Mangawang '95 said.

Ivy dreams gone for men's soccer

By Geoff Oltmans | November 1, 1994

The men's soccer team limped home from Boston after a hard-fought 0-0 overtime tie with Harvard on Saturday afternoon. Dartmouth outshot Harvard 14-13 in a very evenly played match that had post-season implications for both teams. The result eliminated Dartmouth from the Ivy League title hunt, but the Big Green, whose record now stands at 6-3-3, can still make the NCAA tournament by earning an at-large berth.
