Softball falls to UMass 5-0 after game is called due to rain

By Rachel Eggleston | April 3, 2009

The Dartmouth softball team fell 5-0 to the University of Massachusetts-Amherst on Wednesday. The game lasted five and a half innings before heavy rain in Amherst, Mass., forced the umpires to end play. Dartmouth (10-12, 3-1 Ivy) struggled to get on base throughout the game, and co-captain Ashley Gleason '09 was responsible for the team's only hit. Dartmouth pitcher Hillary Barker '12 said that the Big Green was looking to build on the team's experience training and competing in California. "Over spring break, we played really tough teams, so we were expecting to keep up that intensity and compete," she said. The game started off slow before UMass (16-6) picked up momentum in the fourth inning.

Big Green starting pitcher Colin Britton '11 struck out four batters in his five innings on the mound.

Skiing takes seventh place at NCAA championships

By Manisha Apte | March 30, 2009

Coming off an undefeated carnival season, Dartmouth's ski team could not maintain its perfect record and rounded off the year finishing seventh at the NCAA championships on March 14, hosted by Bates College. Accumulating a total of 555 points, the Big Green triumphed over much of the 22-team competition, but fell short of the University of Denver's winning 659-point tally. Dartmouth again matched up well against its competitors from the East, managing to beat every other Eastern team except the University of Vermont, which placed fifth with 573 points.

Koren Schram '09 had nine points and seven rebounds in the Big Green's loss to top-seeded Maryland in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

Women's basketball falls to Maryland in NCAAs

By Tianchi Xu | March 30, 2009

Tilman Dette / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Playing before a crowd of almost 11,000, the Dartmouth women's basketball team ended its season with an 82-53 loss to top-seeded Maryland in the first round of the NCAA tournament last week. On the heels of the team's third Ivy championship in four years, the 16th-seeded Big Green (18-11, 13-1 Ivy) looked to carry its momentum into the postseason with an early upset bid at the Comcast Center in College Park, Md. "We didn't come down here to do well -- we actually came down here to win, but we are just delighted," head coach Chris Wielgus said in a Collge press release. The Terrapins (28-4, 12-2 ACC) headed into the matchup with a 35-game home winning streak, anchored by the ACC Player of the Year senior Kristi Toliver. Although Dartmouth was regarded as the best defensive squad in the Ivy League, Toliver, who is averaging 18.1 points and 5.1 assists per game, was too much to handle for the Big Green.
