The problem with Ned Fulmer ’09 is that he is not a student-athlete. We would not dare to call into question the talents or qualifications of drama, music or art students simply because we have faith in Yale admissions standards and admit to knowing nothing about what it takes to be successful in these fields. One thing we have learned in our time at Yale is that...
So any good nicknames? I get called ARG. My freshman year, our captain gave me the nickname “Je Suis” for “Je suis Guillemette.” TH: What do you think about Annie “The Jet” Guillemette? ARG: No. TH: Do you have any weird pre-game rituals? I used to have to put on my equipment, get taped up and warm-up the exact same way before each game. ARG: We...
On the wall of the Yale Women’s Center hangs a brightly colored painting, paid for by the Center’s 1969 fund. It depicts a woman kneeling, breasts and arms raised to the sky. She is naked. She is jubilant. In front of the painting stands a 20-something Yale student, breasts and arms raised to a roof fraught with exposed pipes. She is naked. She is jubilant. She is...
Under a gray sky, soaked by an icy downpour and battered by chilly winds, the field hockey team saw its final match of the season slip away on Saturday as Senior Day ended in defeat and heartbreak. The Bulldogs (7-10, 2-5 Ivy) fell to visiting rival Brown (1-16, 1-6) in a 3-0 loss that ended a season full of emotional ups and downs. The defeat leaves the Elis in sixth...
As the season draws to a close this weekend, the field hockey team has another motivation to win its final game of the year — the four seniors who will be playing their last regular-season match. The Bulldogs (7-9, 2-4 Ivy) will take on struggling league rival Brown (0-16, 0-6) at home tomorrow in their final game of the season. With the Elis now unable to move beyond...
The field hockey squad was reminded of a harsh reality yesterday: Even a strong performance doesn’t guarantee a victory. After heavy rains led to the cancellation of last Friday’s match against Columbia (10-6, 4-2 Ivy), the Bulldogs (7-9, 2-4) trekked down to New York once again on Tuesday to face the Lions. But the match ended in a dispiriting 3-1 loss, leaving the...
With the season rapidly drawing to a close, the field hockey team heads south to New York City for a game that could determine whether it has a chance at a winning record for 2007. The Bulldogs (7-8, 2-3 Ivy) will face Ivy competitor Columbia (8-6, 3-2) tonight at the Field Hockey Venue. The game is the team’s final road contest and second-to-last game overall. Next...
It is hard to find Catherine “Cat” Lindroth ’08 these days without a cup of coffee in hand — a grande Americano with four shots of espresso, to be exact. But with the level of intensity she brings to her academics, friendships and performance on the field, Lindroth needs a little caffeine to give her that edge. As the second leading scorer on the field hockey...
A heartbreaking Ivy loss this weekend caused the field hockey team to slip two slots in the conference rankings — too far down to pull off a first-place finish this season. The Bulldogs (7-8, 2-3 Ivy) dropped a close 4-3 overtime match to league foe Penn (7-8, 3-2) on Friday night in Philadelphia. And the weekend only got tougher, as yesterday afternoon they took...
With only four games left in the season, the field hockey team takes to the road this weekend to keep its chances at a double-digit win tally — and possibly an Ivy title — alive. After suffering their first defeat in nearly a month last weekend, the Bulldogs (7-6, 2-2 Ivy) will look to regain their momentum as they face league rival Penn (6-7, 2-2) tonight on...
With matches against some of the nation’s toughest field hockey teams already under their belts, the Bulldogs will endeavor to recapture the intensity of last weekend as they take the field tonight for their first conference game in almost two weeks. The Bulldogs (1-4, 0-1 Ivy) take on league rival Cornell (3-2, 1-1) at 7:00 p.m. tonight at Johnson Field seeking to...
When the final whistle blew last night, the scoreboard was not in the Bulldogs’ favor, but that didn’t stop the field hockey team from acknowledging that the intensity of the game they played was cause for celebration. The Elis (0-2) fell to No. 3 UConn (4-0) yesterday, 1-0, in their first away match of the season. But the underdog squad didn’t give the nationally...
