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.
Under admirable leadership and contagious determination, women's softball ended its final season as a club sport with a 9-10 regular season record.
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.
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.
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.
Perfect. That seemed to be the word of choice used to describe the men's lacrosse team's dramatic 12-11 overtime win at Harvard on Saturday. "It was a perfect way to finish off the season," co-captain Pete Fahey '94 said. And what a season it was.
Dartmouth completed a turnaround season; Holy Cross was simply turned around. Big Green close with 8-1 romp The Big Green (16-21 overall, 9-11 Ivy League) capped off a 14-11 run to end its season with an 8-1 victory over the Crusaders (14-18) Thursday at Red Rolfe Field. Pitcher Scott Simon '97 (4-2) dominated the Crusader lineup from the mound.
