Women's soccer clinches Ivy Title

|

NEW YORK, Nov. 6 -- You could tell what kind of afternoon it was going to be from the very beginning. On the opening kickoff, Brittanny Boulanger '95 stripped the ball from a Columbia player, dribbled through an entire half of the field and won a corner kick for the Big Green. Although Dartmouth didn't score directly off Boulanger's run, it set the tone for the rest of the game. Call it total Dartmouth domination. The Big Green simply overwhelmed Columbia, out-shooting the Lions, 28-2, and defeating them, 2-0. The victory raised Dartmouth's overall record to 12-2-1.

Erratic Big Green push past Columbia; Penn victory over Princeton could hurt Dartmouth drive for fourth consecutive Ivy Title

NEW YORK, Nov. 6 -- Both Dartmouth and Columbia thoroughly dominated two quarters of today's match-up between one of the Ivy League's Prince Charmings and the foulest of the league's ugly step sisters. That Dartmouth, which came away with a 42-25 victory, happened to dominate the second and the fourth quarter better than Columbia did the first and the third did little to ease a very frog-like performance by the aptly-monikered Big Green. Despite the win, Dartmouth's title hopes suffered a severe set-back in Philadelphia.

Football at Columbia

|

It's fairly rare that you head to a football game hoping it turns into a 41-7 blowout. But after two weeks in which the Dartmouth football team effectively doubled the blood pressure of anyone who dared to enter the heart-pounding confines of Memorial Field, that's just what anyone who is making the trip down to New York City for the Big Green's match-up with the Columbia Lions is hoping for -- a boring, reach-for-the-No-Doz thrashing. Even the Miracle Man himself, Jay Fiedler '94, admitted at the end of last week's 39-34 come-from-17-points-down clipping of Harvard that, "We have to stop doing this to ourselves." Dartmouth (4-3 overall, 3-1 Ivy League) certainly couldn't have a more apt candidate for a trouncing.

As the Fall athletic season winds down, several teams square off in the final games of the term. With hopes of post-season play burning in their minds, the Big Green looks to close their record books with notches in the win column.

Field hockey ends successful season

A relatively short amount of time has passed since first-year coach Julie Dayton arrived in Hanover to try and salvage something -- anything -- positive out of the 1993 field hockey season. There were some who had all but written off the season before it even began.

Two weeks ago the Dartmouth women's rugby club travelled to the University of Massachuseets in Amherst, Mass., to combat other New England teams for the Mayor's Cup in the Beantown Tournament. After two days of play, the club came home with the second place trophy after losing in the finals against the University of Connecticut. Aggressive rugby brought the team to the finals.

Penn, Princeton set for battle; Both teams undefeated, tied for first in the Ivy League

|

After weeks of picking up momentum for the showdown of the year in Ivy League football, Penn and Princeton, both 7-0 overall, 4-0 Ivy League, finally set their collision course in stone this weekend. It's been 25 years since two undefeated Ivy League teams played each other this late in the season, and it looks like Saturday's rumble in Philadelphia will be worth the wait. Penn has the league's highest scoring offense.

Big Green come from behind to win again

|

More than 11,000 people piled into Memorial Stadium for Dartmouth's Homecoming showdown against the Harvard Crimson and by the time it was over, the vast majority of them had to scoop their jaws off the cold concrete bleachers. With the Ivy League title riding on every snap, the Big Green and their Miracle Working quarteback, Jay Fiedler '94, played with the Granite of New Hampshire in their muscles and their nerve endings. The hardest aspect of analyzing the football team's utterly ridiculous 39-34 win over Harvard on Saturday is trying to find some kind of pecking order in the amazing chain of events which carried Dartmouth from a 17-point deficit late in the third quarter to one of the greatest comebacks in program history. There was Fiedler's 28-yard completion to Shearer on fourth-and-10 with less than two minutes to play and Dartmouth down, 28-25.

Women's soccer wins; Dartmouth will at least share Ivy Title

|

A lone Harvard voice could occasionally be heard in the bleachers at Chase Field on Saturday. But every time he opened his mouth to root for his team, his cheer was drowned out by choruses of "Go Dartmouth!" How appropriate. Just as the Harvard cheers were drowned out by those from Dartmouth, the Harvard women's soccer team was swallowed up by the Big Green. The steady, strong Dartmouth defense thwarted every Harvard attack.

Men's soccer loses fourth Ivy contest

The Big Green men's soccer team dominated Harvard on Saturday but suffered a disappointing, 1-0 defeat. In a frustrating game that appeared to be played on a field heavily slanted toward Harvard's goal, Crimson forward Joshua Martin scored the only goal of the game, his first of the season. Thirty minutes into the game, Crimson junior Craig Brill sent a low, left-footed cross through the Big Green penalty area.

Teams split funds in response to report

A self study by a committee from the Athletic Department, chaired by Associate Director of Athletics Josie Harper, investigated the issue of gender equality in Dartmouth athletics and the new regulations are affecting teams differently. The committee's report called for the Athletic Department to continue adjusting its programs to ensure equal treatment of male and female athletes. Last year the committee submitted a report examining the policies and procedures of the Athletic Department.

Big Green volleyball still winless

|

The women's volleyball team remained winless as losses to Columbia and Cornell in Leede Arena last weekend lowered their record to 0-12 overall and 0-5 in the Ivy League. Friday, the Big Green lost to Columbia 12-15, 15-4, 15-6, 15-13, despite rallying to a 13-13 tie in the final game of the match. The following day, defending Ivy League champion Cornell brought its undefeated Ancient Eight record into Leede Arena and downed the Big Green 15-4, 14-16, 15-3, 15-8. The Cornell team proved to be too tall for Dartmouth, as it controlled the net most of the game.
