Men's lax downs Cornell in OT

By Camille Powell | April 18, 1994

The biggest difference between this year's men's lacrosse team and those from the last few years can be summed up in one word. Confidence. That was perfectly illustrated on Saturday afternoon as the Big Green won their sixth straight game, edging Cornell 12-11 in overtime. Dartmouth held an 11-7 lead with seven minutes left in regulation, only to have Cornell explode for four goals to force the extra period. It was a scenario all too familiar for the players who weathered last year's 3-9 season, which featured several fourth quarter collapses.

Women's tennis off to undefeated Ivy start

By Amy Henry | April 15, 1994

The women's tennis team is enjoying an early season undefeated Ivy League record after 5-2 victories over Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania last weekend. Coach Chris Kerr said the key to the wins over Penn and Columbia were good doubles play and solid singles performances down the entire lineup. In all three of this season's matches, the Big Green women have won two out of the three doubles matches, and the doubles point has proved to be crucial. Currently 4-2 overall, the team captured four out of six singles matches last weekend . Kiyoe Hashimoto '95 and Kallie Buehler '97, who are undefeated at the number three and number five positions, respectively, are currently leading the Big Green.

Tackles and throws are not taken for granted by Nelson

By Camile Powell | April 14, 1994

Just when you think you've got Adam Nelson '97 all figured out, you discover something about him that throws you for a loop. Take one look at his compact 6-1, 220-pound frame and you immediately think "football player." Listen to him talk about how he enjoys being a linebacker for the Big Green because football "brings out the animalistic side of people without hurting them" and you're not too surprised. Finding out that he holds Dartmouth's indoor shot put record isn't too startling either, especially once you learn that he is capable of bench pressing 430 pounds.

Pelton is at home on the court?

By Scott Anthony | April 11, 1994

He smiles when he gets on the court, the administrative worries of the day replaced by the need to stretch out muscles tense from hours sitting at a desk and endless committee meetings. "You're too tight Lee, you're wound up like a spring," a fellow player who comes over to help him stretch his 6-foot-3 frame says. Here the rhythmic clicking of computer keys in his Parkhurst office is replaced by the high-pitched squeaking of sneakers and the discordant clang of basketballs hitting the rim. The other players know him simply as "Lee," and he looks more comfortable in his green tank-top and blue gym shorts than in his suit and tie. As the minutes tick by, the administrative troubles melt away, replaced by the quizzical frown of a man who cannot determine why his shots are not falling today. Dean of the College Lee Pelton looks at home. The former high school basketball player says he tries to hit the hardwood at least two or three times a week.

By Camile Powell | April 8, 1994

Nelson said senior leadership has been teh most important factor in the team's five wins.
