Tackles and throws are not taken for granted by Nelson
By Camile Powell | April 14, 1994Just when you think you've got Adam Nelson '97 all figured out, you discover something about him that throws you for a loop. Take one look at his compact 6-1, 220-pound frame and you immediately think "football player." Listen to him talk about how he enjoys being a linebacker for the Big Green because football "brings out the animalistic side of people without hurting them" and you're not too surprised. Finding out that he holds Dartmouth's indoor shot put record isn't too startling either, especially once you learn that he is capable of bench pressing 430 pounds.

Men's lax off to best start since '82
By Camile Powell | April 8, 1994Coaches love to talk about the value of senior leadership, and Men's lacrosse Coach Tim Nelson is certainly no exception. His team (5-1 overall, 0-0 Ivy) is off to its best start since 1982, and Nelson credits the fast start to the squad's seven seniors. Nelson said senior leadership has been teh most important factor in the team's five wins.

Women's hoops miss NCAA berth
By Camile Powell | March 28, 1994Somebody 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.
