Women's tennis returns with hopes for success

|

After the intricacies of Dartmouth's D-plan caused two of the top eight women's tennis players to be off campus during winter training, it would not have been unreasonable to expect the spring season to get off to a shaky start. But so far this does not appear to be the case. The Big Green returned from their exhibition trip to Florida with a spring break record of 3-2 and many strong individual performances.

Women's hoops miss NCAA berth

|

Somebody forgot to tell the women's basketball team that they were not supposed to win the Ivy title this year. Somebody forgot to tell them that a team with seven freshmen and three sophomores is usually a year or two away from being a serious contender. Somebody forgot to tell them that a team with a new coaching staff generally needs a year to get used to one another. And somebody forgot to tell them that a team that returns three starters from an 8-18 team usually does not unseat a two-time defending league champ. Thank goodness somebody forgot. The women's basketball team, picked to finish fifth in the Ivy League in a preseason media poll, surpassed all expectations by sharing the Ivy title with two-time defending champion Brown. A hard-fought 77-64 win at Harvard back on March 8 put the finishing touches on an outstanding season and clinched the Ivy title for the Big Green. "A banner went up in the gym with that win at Harvard," Coach Chris Wielgus said. The victory also forced a one game playoff to determine which team would represent the Ivy League in the expanded NCAA tournament.

Men's hoops split, finish fourth in league

|

Women's hoops shoot for title

|

This is it. The women's basketball team's entire season boils down to these three games. The Big Green square off against Ivy League foes Yale University, Brown University and Harvard University over the next five days, and how well they fare will determine just how long their season will last. Heading into this final weekend of league play, Dartmouth is in second place with an 8-3 record in the Ivy Leagues, one game behind two-time defending Ivy champ Brown (9-2) and one game ahead of Yale (7-4). Harvard is out of the title hunt with a 4-7 record. If the Big Green can win these last three games, they will grab at least a share of the Ivy title.
