Field hockey wins 2-1

|

Maybe it was the frigid fall air or maybe it was the disappointing loss to the University of Maine last Wednesday, but whatever the reason the Dartmouth women's field hockey team kept the heat on last Friday at Chase field. With a 2-0 victory over Yale, the team played an excellent offensive game, improving its record to 3-3-1, 1-0-1 in the Ivy League. After losing to the Black Bears of Maine last Wednesday, the Big Green was adamant about improving their game and strengthening their offense. "At practice yesterday, we worked on a lot of passing combinations," mid-fielder Allison Pell '96 said.

Men's soccer beats Yale for the first time in three years: 7-0

|

The men's soccer team blew out an Ivy League opponent for the second time in a row this season, crushing Yale 7-0 Saturday afternoon at Chase Field. "To score seven goals in an Ivy League game is quite an accomplishment," Coach Fran O'Leary said. Revenge was sweet for the Big Green, who had suffered three straight 1-0 defeats to the Elis over the last three seasons. "We had a vendetta," admitted Dartmouth co-captain Blaine LeGere '95. The scoring spree started with a picturesque goal in the 5th minute.

Women's soccer squeeks past Bulldogs 2-1

|

The women's soccer team was finally put to the test at home this Saturday against Yale and with great defensive play late in the second half, the Big Green were able to ward off the Bulldogs in a 2-1 victory. In a scoreless first half, Dartmouth appeared flustered at times as they hoped to add to their 22 goals scored in the past three games. "It's tough if you don't get the goals right away," said Swanson.

Men's rugby faces Brown

|

Last Saturday, on a wet field in drizzling rain at the University of Connecticut, the Dartmouth Rugby Football Club proved their strength by outing their opponents in a 13-10 win. The UConn Huskies seemed to be a formidable group to beat, going into the game at 1-0 after beating Boston University in their previous game 16-12 and holding last year's second place title in the Eastern League. Twelve of last year's Husky players are one this year's team, which was chosen as the pre-season favorite by the New England Collegiate Rugby Union. In the first half of the game, the Huskies looked as though they had the upper hand, winning most of the lineouts and giving their backs a lot of great balls to run.

The women's soccer team didn't think it could get any better. Until last night. After expecting a battle with the University of Vermont, the Big Green trampled the Catamounts in a 6-0 route last night in Burlington. Led by Megan Owens '96 and assistant captain Mya Mangawang '95 who scored three goals each, Dartmouth once again dominated offensively holding their opponents to less than five shots. "We came out and moved the ball really well," Mangawang said.

Field hockey hopes to tame Black Bears

|

Upset after tying with the University of Pennsylvania last Saturday, the women's field hockey team plans to vent its frustration today at home as they take on the always tough University of Maine at 3:30 p.m. Dartmouth, 2-2-1 on the season, is so far disappointed with its record, and the Big Green hopes to gain momentum with a victory today. "I think we're off to a good start, but we're not satisfied with our record at all," Coach Julie Dayton said.

The men's soccer team won its home and Ivy League opener yesterday in convincing fashion, romping the University of Pennsylvania 5-1 in front of a lively crowd at Chase Field. Four second-half goals propelled the Big Green, who are now 2-0 overall in Coach Fran O'Leary's inaugural season. An evenly played first-half took a turn in Dartmouth's favor in the 37th minute when a cross by Blaine LeGere '95 was inadvertently knocked in the goal by Penn defender Alan Waxman.

Women run up score in shutouts

The women's soccer team sent a loud and clear message that the sport can be high scoring as they racked up 16 goals en route to two resounding victories this past weekend. Even without the on-field leadership of Captain Michelle Conroy '95 and the quickness of injured all-American Melissa McBean '97, the Big Green still showed extreme poise and confidence as they boosted their overall record to 4-1 and 1-0 in the Ivy League. In a league match Saturday, Dartmouth outshot the University of Pennsylvania 34-0 on the way to a decisive 8-0 victory.

Women's soccer hopes for 1993 all over again

|

After winning the Ivy League Championship last season and reaching the NCAA tournament, it looks like the women's soccer team has little room for improvement. But the Big Green still hope to put the past behind them and start fresh with the 1994 season. Last year the women's soccer team had a wildly successful season -- finishing 12-3-1 overall and 7-0-0 in the Ivy Leagues.
