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.

Crews race with success

By Richard Petty | November 11, 1993

Despite being split between the Yale Invitational and the Princeton Chase this past weekend, Dartmouth crews were bound by a common strand -- success. The Big Green varsity men's lightweight eight, which raced at Princeton, finished fourth in 13 minutes, 53.4 seconds.

Penn football, Big Green women's soccer are weekend focus; Dartmouth must wait for Quaker loss to fulfill hopes for fourth consecutive Ivy League title

By Scott Anthony | November 10, 1993

Stop me if you've heard this one before. The Dartmouth football team entered the fourth quarter trailing (stop!) Columbia by four points before turning on the turbo boosters and blowing past the unusually roaring Lions. Jay and the Miracles have now gone to the fourth quarter with a lead just twice -- against Yale and Bucknell -- but are still riding a four-game winning streak to stretch their record to 5-3 overall, 4-1 in the Ivy League. What a fun, freaky team.

Men's tennis finishes fall season at Rolex Invitational

By Amy Hatch | November 10, 1993

Despite a slow start at the beginning of the season, the Big Green men's tennis team ended with a strong performance last weekend at the Rolex Tournament in Princeton, N.J. "As a team we struggled for a lot of the fall, but at Rolex the guys in the main draw really played well," Captain Dan Coakley '94 said. Entering the tournament seeded third, Coakley was especially pleased with his second place finish, which qualified him for the National Indoors, which will be held Feb, 3-6 in Dallas, Texas. Jim Rich '96 and Holden Spaht '96 also competed at the Rolex and performed well, making it to the round of 16 players, according to Coach Chuck Kinyon. "Overall we had a great weekend," Kinyon said.

Football wrap-up

By Scott Anthony | November 9, 1993

While Dartmouth was pummeling Columbia in New York, its hopes for a fourth consecutive title may have ended about 70 miles south on Franklin Field. After Dartmouth's season-opening 10-6 loss to the University of Pennsylvania, the Big Green knew they would need someone to knock off the Quakers to have a chance to even tie for the title. And if there was any team that was going to do it, it would be the Princeton Tigers. Coming into Saturday's Penn Homecoming game in Philadelphia, both Penn and Princeton sported identical 7-0 overall and 4-0 Ivy League records. But Princeton completely dominated the Quakers, rolling up 451 total yards and coasting to a 30-14 victory over the Tigers in front of more than 35,000 fans in Philadelphia. After the game, fans who had chanted "Ivy Champs" toward the end of the game, stormed the field, ripped down the goal posts and tossed them in a nearby river. Now the Big Green must beat Brown and Princeton, and pray for either Harvard or Cornell to upset the seemingly invincible Quakers. The best bet is for a Crimson victory this weekend in Cambridge, Mass.
