Football season ends with low record, but high hopes for future

By Eric Petitt | November 22, 1994

It has been a nightmare of a football season for the Big Green Gridders. A year ago, they were at the top of their game, coming off three consecutive Ivy League titles and still led by Ivy League superstar now turned NFL quarterback Jay Fiedler '94. They slipped just slightly, losing a share of the title to the University of Pennsylvania in the final week of the season, but with the best overall record in the league's history to their name, there was no snickering behind the Dartmouth football players' backs. Then Fiedler, sometimes called Dartmouth's "heart and soul," and a number of other crucial seniors graduated, ending a dynasty and introducing uncertainty into the team's future. A period of transition and small-scale rebuilding was inevitable, but with a returning class of senior standouts on defense such as Josh Bloom, Hunter Buckner, Brian White and Chris Boran, along with powerful running back Pete Oberle '96 and experienced receivers David Shearer '95 and Andre Grant '95, no one expected Dartmouth to miss a beat. Instead, Dartmouth experienced something along the lines of a massive heart attack, finishing for the first time ever at the bottom of the Ivy League with a record of 2-5 and 4-6 overall. With the season now over, one can only ask what went wrong.

Women's volleyball ends season with hopes for next

By Erika Tower | November 17, 1994

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

By Kate Shanahan | November 15, 1994

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.

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.
