Women's tennis returns with hopes for success

By Tuni Bergey | March 31, 1994

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

By Camile Powell | March 28, 1994

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.

Women's hoops shoot for title

By Camille Powell | March 4, 1994

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.

Women's basketball drops to second place

By Camille Powell | March 1, 1994

For the women's basketball team, everything that could have gone wrong during this weekend's road trip did go wrong. First, icy weather pushed Friday night's game at Cornell University to Sunday night, disrupting the Big Green's travel plans. The switch also meant that "we had to play the tougher team on the second night [of the road trip] rather than the first," Coach Chris Wielgus said. Then, to top it all off, half of the team got sick between games. When the problem-filled trip was finally over, the team was left with a two-game split, beating Columbia University 67-55 on Saturday, and falling to Cornell 71-62 on Sunday. "This entire trip was disruptive," Wielgus said.

Men's hockey eliminated from playoff contention

By Colin Grey | March 1, 1994

Losses don't come much more heartbreaking than the one fate dealt out to the Big Green men's hockey team on Saturday night against Clarkson University. Maybe fate - or maybe it was referees Jim Cerbo and Tom DiFueco. With less than four minutes to go, the duo gave out a pair of penalties to Trevor Dodman '95 for elbowing and to captain Mike Loga '94 just 31 seconds later for cross-checking. The penalties came as the team was doing an admirable job of pressing for a tying goal, peppering the Clarkson net with bids. Clarkson had scored twice in the first period but were barely holding off the Big Green's relentless assault on goalie Jason Currie. You don't get much closer than Dion Del Monte's '95 shot at 15:49 of the third period, which Clarkson goalie Jason Currie somehow managed to deflect over the crossbar. Then there was Matt Collins '94, who tried to tuck the puck in the bottom corner after skating around the back of the net. In fact, until the referees blew the whistle on the Big Green, the stone wall Currie had erected in front of the Clarkson net was all that kept the opposition in the game. "We had our back to the wall, and I thought our kids came out and gave a tremendous effort," Coach Roger Demment said.
