Students milled around in the grass, finding and tossing broken glass, beer cups and assorted pieces of metal into a 40-gallon trash bag, triple bagged so that the 23 pounds of debris would not tear through it. Students were not dealing with the remnants of the previous night’s party; rather, the two Yale Ultimate Frisbee teams were cleaning up the Intramural fields...
On the field — rugby player. During the weekends — DKE member. Off the field — candidate for YCC treasurer. Will Alexander ’10 has two years of experience in student government at Yale and hopes to use the relationships he has formed within the YCC to help make the council better reflect students’ input. His girlfriend and campaign assistant, Claire...
Frank Keefe, the head coach of Yale’s men’s and women’s swimming teams, has lost his fair share of athletes over the years. “There’s quitting,” he said, “and then there’s quitting for the right reason.” Keefe is not the only Yale coach to experience heartburn at the exodus of student-athletes, a number of whom leave their teams each year in order to...
Most people have heard of the top-ranked Yalies in a few sports on campus. Mike McLeod ’09. Eric Flato ’08. But how many Bulldogs can claim the top spot in the country? Well, women’s squash captain Miranda Ranieri ’08 can. The Toronto native is ranked No. 1 in the nation as of the Jan. 10 individual rankings. Ranieri has led Yale to a 9-2 overall record and a 2-2...
Although the weekend ended with three losses, the volleyball team completed yet another season with a winning record. For the fifth-straight season under head coach Erin Appleman, the Bulldogs won at least 16 of their matches. The Elis (16-10, 10-4 Ivy) first faced off against Long Beach State (25-6) and lost 26-30, 14-30, 16-30 to the hosts of the Baden Thanksgiving...
After a tough couple of weeks that included two disappointing losses to Cornell and Princeton, the volleyball team closed out Ivy play by taking down Brown last night. The Bulldogs (16-7, 10-4 Ivy) trekked to Providence, R.I., for their only midweek match of the season and defeated the Bears (7-17, 5-9), 30-25, 26-30, 30-18, 30-27. Yale also won, 3-0, in the two teams’...
Whether it’s a sports team, an a cappella ensemble or a political party, Yalies often identify themselves by the groups to which they belong. One such group, Athletes in Action, a Christian ministry for athletes on campus, combines two niches that some may find surprising — athletics and religion. The ministry is geared toward helping Elis balance their spiritual...
After taking the Quakers down for the second time this season, the volleyball team and its perfect Ivy record at home were disrupted by the Tigers this weekend. Princeton (21-3, 13-0 Ivy) beat Yale (15-7, 9-4) on Saturday afternoon to continue its undefeated conference streak and clinch the Ivy League title. The Elis defeated Penn (17-8, 10-3) on Friday night to spoil...
For those who may have missed the high-profile matches against No. 1 Penn State and No. 5 Stanford and the 5-0 home winning streak against Ivy League opponents, there is still a chance to see the volleyball team in action. The Bulldogs (14-6, 8-3 Ivy) will host Penn (16-7, 9-2) and Princeton (19-3, 11-0) this weekend, and there is a minute possibility that they could tie...
The laws of the court Both teams line up facing the net, six girls on each side — one setter, two hitters and three defensive players — with three players standing in the front row and three in the back. Once the ball is served, the girls might change where they stand on the court, depending on the position they play best. The receiving team can only touch the ball...
With five conference wins in a row, the Bulldogs only need to win another five to have a chance of beating out Princeton for the Ivy title. The volleyball team (13-5, 7-2 Ivy) won both of their matches in the John J. Lee Amphitheater against Harvard (7-15, 2-8) and Dartmouth (13-7, 6-4) over the weekend. The Elis crushed the Crimson in three games (30-22, 30-21, 30-18)...
From the beginning of the season it’s been all about the Ivies, and now Yale has a chance to prove itself. The women’s volleyball team (6-3) will face off against Brown (2-8), the Elis’ first opponent from the Ancient Eight, on Saturday at John J. Lee Amphitheater. With a home court advantage and strong fan support on their side, the players hope to start off...
