Women's swimming strives to enter elite

By Amy Henry | January 5, 1994

The women's swim team still hopes to climb towards the top of the list of the elite in the East, but has struggled early and is off to a 1-3 start. The team's record has improved each of the last three years under the guidance of head coach and former Olympic silver medal winner Betsy Mitchell.

Jay Fiedler '94 leads a star-studded - or as star-studded as the Ivy League gets - contingent of senior first and second team All-Ivy selections at the fourth annual Epson Ivy Bowl this weekend in Tokyo, Japan. Other Big Green football players who are Orient-bound include safeties Jason Fell '94 and Jim McGeehan '94, wide receiver John Hyland '94, offensive tackle Andy McDonald '94, linebacker George Neos '94 and cheerleader Melissa Nguyen '94. The Ivy gridders have not lost the Epson Bowl in the three previous meetings of East versus West, outscoring the apparently out-gunned Japanese team a combined 139-13. The Bowl, which pits the top seniors in the Ivy League against Japan's best college and university players, will be on Saturday in the Tokyo Bowl (tickets are still available). From there, Fiedler heads to Palo Alto, California for the East/West Shrine Game and then to Mobile, Alabama for the Senior Bowl.

With new coach, men's swimming looks to improve

By Tuni Bergey | January 4, 1994

The men's swim team has a goal for this season-to surpass last year's performance. Actually, it doesn't have much of a choice. Coming off a winless record last winter, culminating in a last place finish at the Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming League Championships, the team has already exceeded its win output from last year with a 145-128 victory over the University of New Hampshire Nov.

Big Green garner Ivy League honors

By Brad Parks | November 23, 1993

When the Dartmouth football team began its season two months ago at Pennsylvania's Franklin Field, the 1993 campaign had been all but mapped out. Jay Fiedler '94 would plaster his name in every available slot in the Dartmouth record books.

Big Green save the best for last; Dartmouth comes from behind against Princeton, but Penn does the same with Cornell for league title

By Brad Parks | November 22, 1993

In an encore that befit the brilliance he displayed so frequently throughout his college career, Jay Fiedler '94 pushed the Dartmouth football team beyond ridiculous to utter lunacy one final time. Just when it seemed Mr. Wunderwing had finally run out of miracles, he came up with the most improbable resurrection of a ludicrous season as he threw for two touchdowns and rushed for one more in the final 8 minutes, 34 seconds of Saturday's battle for second place with Princeton to lead Dartmouth from a 14-point deficit to a 28-22 stunning of the Tigers. The final clash of the Ivy League's two once-in-a-decade superstars -- Fiedler and Princeton running back Keith Elias --netted a game worthy of all its considerable billing. But in the end The Gunner bested The Runner for the third straight year as Fiedler came up with all the answers while Elias, for all his shredding of Dartmouth's limp-along defensive line, could only stare with the same incredulous amazement as the other 9,120 spectators at a magnificent manifestation of one individual's will to win and the efforts of an entire team to equal that intensity. To be sure, Elias owned the first three quarters of the game, but as he has proven all year, Fiedler only needs one quarter to win a football game.

Men's hockey splits games

By Colin Grey | November 22, 1993

The Big Green men's hockey team crushed the Catamounts in front of a 3,914-spectator home crowd on Saturday night, dealing a huge 11-4 defeat to University of Vermont. Scott Fraser '94 scored three goals for a hat trick and goalie Ben Heller '97 made 26 stops in his first Eastern College Athletic Conference showing as the Big Green avenged their 7-3 loss at UVM on Friday night. The Big Green, 2-3 overall and 1-3 in the ECAC, capitalized on four of seven power play opportunities, making the most of UVM's mistakes. "It was great to beat them, because they embarrassed us in their barn Friday night.

Volleyball optimistic

By Kenneth Y. Lee | November 19, 1993

On the surface, it looks like the women's volleyball team had an unsuccessful season. But saddled with a 2-13 record after their losses to Harvard and Yale at the Ivy League tournament this past weekend and a winless record in Ivy League competition, the team has managed to maintain not only their competitive attitude but has struggled through a seemingly endless stream of difficulties. The season's high point came when the team traveled to St.

Crew finishes first

By Amy Hatch | November 19, 1993

The women's novice and varsity crew teams finished their seasons last weekend by competing in the Foot of the Charles in Cambridge, Mass. On the novice side, the women rowers made Dartmouth history by placing first in the race with a time of 14 minutes, 10 seconds. "It's a great end to a great fall, but the whole team knows that we have a long way to go until the Eastern Sprints Championships in the spring," novice coach Amanda Cashman said. The varsity boats placed second and sixth with times of 15:22 and 15:52, respectively.

Men's soccer closes frustrating season

By Geoff Oltmans | November 18, 1993

With 20 minutes left in a game against Princeton on Oct. 17, the men's soccer team was cruising along with a 2-0 lead and enjoying what Coach Bobby Clark described as "the best soccer we played all year." Ten minutes later, the game was tied and the Big Green headed for an overtime defeat in a game which may have been the turning point of a season filled with expectations but marked with inconsistency. Dartmouth rode a four-game win streak heading into the much-anticipated matchup against the Tigers, who were 3-0 in the Ivy League at the time.

A bright tomorrow for women's soccer

By Camille Powell | November 16, 1993

The first question that jumps to mind when looking back on the Big Green women's soccer season is: "What can they possibly do for an encore?" After all, the list of 1993 season highlights is longer than a Megan Owens '96 clear: a 12-3-1 overall record for the most wins in school history, a remarkable undefeated and unscored upon run through the Ivy League for the program's second league title in three years, a 10 game unbeaten streak in the middle of the season and a first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. What next?

Record-setting season ends for women's soccer

By Camille Powell | November 15, 1993

AMHERST, Mass., Nov. 13 -- About the only thing that hadn't changed was the uniforms. To be sure, the women's soccer team was still sporting the same green and white jerseys it wore in its second game of the season against the nationally-ranked University of Connecticut as it did against the Huskies in the Northeast Regional semifinals of the NCAA Tournament. But this was a very different team than the fledgling squad that was still trying to learn each other's names as it lost to Connecticut in a wrenching, 2-1 overtime thriller in the first week of the 1993 season. Since then, the team evolved into an experienced, tightly-knit group that marched through the competitive Ivy League unscored-upon to become the first Ancient Eight squad to qualify for the NCAA Tournament since Brown in 1986. But, as much as things had changed, the result was still the same -- the Huskies handed Dartmouth an equally heart-breaking 3-1 loss to put an end to the most successful season in program history. Connecticut struck just six minutes into the game, when a cross from Tammy Barnes sailed over the head of on-rushing goalie Michelle Conroy '95 and to the feet of All-American midfielder, Karen Ferguson, who banged the ball into the open net. But the Big Green didn't hang their heads after the early goal.
