Men's track dominates meet

|

The men's track team is in the midst of a brutal triple -- three championship meets in three weeks. After a strong performance at the Heptagonal championships last weekend, the men dominated the New England Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Memorial Stadium this weekend. It was not the individual performances that won it for Dartmouth this weekend -- it was their depth. Of 40 schools, the Big Green contingent was the largest and the deepest, and came out on top with 145 points.

Crew repeats as Eastern Sprints champions

|

WORCESTER, Mass. -- Without a doubt, it was a record setting day for Dartmouth crew at the Eastern Sprints Championship Regatta, held yesterday on Lake Quinsigamond. Not only did the Big Green varsity heavyweights win the silver medal behind a semi-professional Brown crew, but the Dartmouth varsity lights, seeded first in yesterday's race, successfully defended their Eastern Sprints title. "This is easily the best day ever for Dartmouth crew," lightweight coach Dick Grossman said.

Spirited crews row for gold at Eastern Sprints

|

In collegiate rowing, one race defines the season. The Eastern Sprints Championships is that race. This Sunday in Worcester, Mass., the Big Green heavyweight and lightweight crews line up against other schools in the Eastern Association of Rowing Colleges for the race that determines the league champion. "We're psyched for this weekend," lightweight captain Brian Crounse '94 said.

Water Polo triumphs

|

Dartmouth water polo has made quite a name for itself. In four weeks of spring competition, the team dominated their opponents and earned recognition as the best club team in the country. "Organization and dedication have been sorely lacking ingredients for Dartmouth water polo, but the team has made remarkable progress culminating this year with a strong, enthusiastic group of '97s and the invaluable contributions of Coach [Jim] Wilson," Jordan Friedman '94 said.

Coakley serves up success

For some, the thought of playing professional athletics is just a dream, but for tennis player Dan Coakley '94, that dream will become reality following graduation this June. "When I was little I always wanted to play professionally like most [kids] do," Coakley said.

Abrupt end for lax

|

Don't ask the women's lacrosse team about a sure bet. After a stellar season, the best in recent memory, Dartmouth was surprisingly overlooked for a bid to the NCAA Tournament Monday by the selection committee. "The NCAA gave a blow to New England lacrosse by selecting the fourth ranked southern school [the College of William and Mary] over the second ranked New England school," Coach Amy Patton said.

Women's lacrosse gets no NCAA bid

|

The women's lacrosse team was not offered a bid by the NCAA for the six-team post-season tournament this year. The bid went to William and Mary, to whom the Big Green dropped a close 8-6 game March 24. Yesterday's announcement, combined with last Saturday's loss to Harvard, put a disappointing end to what was an otherwise very successful season. Dartmouth will finish third in the Ivy League and probably near the top of the NCAA poles. Many factors may have influenced the committee's decision, including the Big Green's loss to William and Mary, a traditional bias towards southern teams and the invitation of two other Ivy League teams to the tournament . The University of Maryland, University of Virginia, Loyola, Princeton and Harvard were also given bids. Coach Amy Patton could not be reached for comment.

Golf ends season on high note

|

Both the men's and women's golf teams dominated the course on Saturday, rising to the occasion of their last match of the year. The men ended their season with a 12.5-8.5 win over Brown and a 13.5-7.5 win over Harvard. The women's team crushed Harvard on Saturday, ending their season with a 15-2 victory. The men and women teamed up for nine holes on Saturday morning, for a "Mixed Scotch" format of play, which paired women players with the men. Dartmouth won the event 3.5-2.5, with the help of victories by women's captain Kelly Just '94 and Alec Dicks '96, Tanis Hunt '95 and men's captain Dominick Engels '94 and Heidi Corderrman '96 and Mike Bolf '96. Sweet revenge for men For the men, Saturday brought sweet revenge, for Harvard and Brown beat Dartmouth earlier in the season. Outstanding performances this season came from Bolf, who won the medalist round on Saturday with a 70.

Crimson down women's lax

|

The women's lacrosse team suffered an 11-4 loss to Ivy League rival Harvard in the last game of the regular season at Chase Field Saturday afternoon. The loss dropped Dartmouth's record to 4-2 in the Ivy League, 11-4 overall, and raises questions about whether the team will receive a bid to the NCAA post-season tournament. Despite the score and six minutes of let-down time by Dartmouth, the game was fairly well-balanced between the two teams, who were tied coming into the match. Harvard scored just over a minute into the game and then scored four more in a three-minute span midway through the first half before Margaret Field '93 put Dartmouth on the board with an unassisted goal 10 minutes before the end of the half.
