Thomas Hsieh pitches questions to softball’s Ashley Sloan ‘10. The outfielder earned first team All-Ivy honors in her freshman season.
TH: So after three long years of servitude to the News, my time here is finally coming to an end. And now, you’re the subject of my last interview, my last article. What do you have to say to that?
AS: I...
There’s a reason he calls himself a “trivia question.” Which Ivy League basketball player had the longest NBA career? The answer: Chris Dudley ’87. Although he has never been an all-star, Dudley has played professionally for 16 seasons, six more than his most famous Ancient Eight predecessor, Princeton’s Bill Bradley. And his career, which ended in 2003, was...
The baseball team knew there was a slim chance of remaining in the Red Rolfe Division race after this past weekend. But by Saturday night, it had played itself out of contention. Needing to win at least three of the weekend’s four games against the Bears (19-24, 9-11 Ivy) to stay within reach of Dartmouth (24-14, 15-5), the Bulldogs (20-24-1, 9-10-1) were shut out...
With gray clouds looming overhead, stagnant waters and headwinds upwards of 10 mph, the women’s crew team had to overcome rough conditions to defeat two nationally ranked teams this weekend. The No. 2 Bulldogs took the Nathaniel Case Cup for the fifth year running with Saturday’s varsity eight victory over No. 13 Radcliffe and No. 3 University of Virginia. With the...
There would be no singing of the Yale fight song for the men’s lacrosse team on Senior Day. An offensive collapse by the Bulldogs (4-9, 0-6 Ivy) turned what started out as a close Ivy League contest into a disappointing 9-5 loss to Harvard (6-7, 1-4) on Saturday afternoon at Reese Stadium. The Elis were hoping to carry the momentum from last weekend’s 10-2 win over...
In the last weekend of competition before the two-week hiatus that precedes the Heptagonal Championship, several members of the men’s and women’s track teams had the opportunity to gauge their performances against some of the nation’s top competitors. Relay teams and several individuals representing the Bulldogs competed in the three-day-long Penn Relays, a...
It’s always great to end on a high note. Yale softball (20-25-1, 7-13 Ivy) put together a strong finish to their season, winning three of four games against Brown (8-26, 3-17). The Elis split Saturday’s doubleheader in Providence, losing the first game 2-1 but bouncing back with a 6-3 victory in the second. Yale then swept Sunday’s games in New Haven, winning both...
The men’s lightweight crew team just had another perfect weekend. On Saturday, Yale traveled to Hanover, N.H., to take on the defending Eastern Sprints champion crew, encountering fast conditions and speedy races. The crew swept the Big Green and reclaimed the Durand Cup after two years of separation. The cup is usually fought over by Rutgers, Dartmouth and Yale, but...
The men’s heavyweight crew team has had a tough season so far. With a solid victory over Dartmouth on April 12, the Bulldogs retained the Olympic Axe, but the crew has since handed over two trophies that have adorned the Gilder Boathouse for at least a year. Columbia grabbed the Blackwell Cup last weekend and the Elis dropped four of five races this Saturday against...
The men’s lacrosse version of The Game this year is a complete reversal of the fall 2007 football matchup: Instead of pitting the two undefeated Ivy League rivals against each other, the men’s lacrosse team (4-8, 0-5 Ivy) welcomes rival Harvard (5-7, 0-4) to Reese Field on Saturday at 1 p.m. with both teams looking for their first Ivy League win of the season. Though...
After 41 games in 54 days, the baseball team’s hopes for an Ivy League title rest on this weekend’s four games against Brown (15-24, 5-11 Ivy). Various scenarios could take place this weekend but, to put it simply, Yale (20-20-1, 9-6-1) needs to win at least two games more than Dartmouth (21-13, 12-4) — who will play four against Harvard this weekend — to retain...
