Not every runner wore a cape at the superhero-themed Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth Hitchcock’s Hero event Sunday, but participants raised over $700,000 for pediatric care at a series of races and events throughout the day, CHaD community relations assistant Hilary Hubbard said.

The money raised from the CHaD Hero will go toward equipment, programs and services that will aid patients at the hospital.

S&S reports consistent, positive results from GLC ban

B y KATIE RAFTER

The Dartmouth Staff

Safety and Security director Harry Kinne said that he believed the results of the Greek Leadership Council’s fi rst-year policy — which ended yesterday — have been consistent throughout the years it has been enforced. While there have been instances in which freshmen have been turned away from Greek houses, he is unaware of any violations of the policy this term.

The policy, implemented in 2013, prohibits freshmen from entering Greek houses for the first six weeks of the term.

Kinne said that the restrictions have contributed to a reduction in the number of alcohol-related incidents in Greek organizations over the course of the term, and he believes that alcohol-related incidents involving freshmen in general have also fallen. He did not have specific numbers to report.

“My sense is that the number of

reports and the levels of intoxication of first-year students when we do encounter them is lower than in past years,” he said.

Kinne said that, in his opinion, the policy benefits both freshmen and the Greek organizations alike. The ban gives freshmen the opportunity to see that although events and parties at Greek houses are part of the campus environment, there are other options to be explored, he said.

“I think it gives time for people to get to know the campus,” he said.

Federal budget needs reform, Wheelan and MacGuineas say B y DANIEL KIM The Dartmouth

If there is anything she regrets about working in fiscal policy, it is that the issue inspires such rabid disagreement, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget and head of the Campaign to Fix the Debt Maya MacGuineas said at the Rockefeller Center on Monday.

“Gosh, do I want to be done with dealing with fiscal policy — I want to go save orphaned animals where everyone

It is difficult to measure the success of the ban, as data about incidents is not regularly released and can be challenging to interpret, GLC accountability chair Taylor Watson ’16 said.

The ban changes the idea of what “going out” means for students and can de-emphasize the importance of alcohol in the first six weeks of college, when students are already experiencing so many new things, SEE GLC PAGE 2

DAily debriefing Thayer School of Engineering professor Eric Fossum partnered with engineering Ph.D. candidate Jiaju Ma to develop a new pixel that can enhance low-light sensitivity, the College announced. For three years, the duo has been working on a project exploring the Quanta Image Sensor, analyzing the relationship between the photons and electrons of light with semiconductors, to invent a pixel with enhanced sensitivity. Compared to regular pixels, these pixels are smaller and designed to sense single photons. The plan is to combat the difference in size by adding more pixels on the sensor, thus keeping the size but increasing its sensitivity. This light-sensing technology reaches new boundaries and has the potential to be used in countless fields, from photography to astronomy to life-science imaging.

Computer science professor Hany Farid led a research team to study a photograph of Lee Harvey Oswald, the assassin of President John F. Kennedy, the College announced.

Used as evidence collected against Oswald, the photo shows him standing while holding a gun and Marxist newspapers.

While Oswald argued that the photo was fake, the study shows that the photo is, in fact, authentic. Farid’s team conducted a 3-D stability analysis — a new digital forensics technique — to construct a model of Oswald’s appearance and stance in the photo, showing that the picture was not tampered with. Further research proves that the rifle is the same type of rifle used to assassinate Kennedy, and the lighting and shadows are also genuine and consistent with the photograph. The study opens many doors for 3-D modeling in the forensics field as photos of people can also be analyzed using the same methods.

Eleven hospitals across the United States, including the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, participated in a randomized study to analyze the impact of vitamin D and calcium supplements on colorectal cancer, proving that the supplements fail to protect against its development, the Norris Cotton Cancer Center announced. Over 2,000 patients aged 45-75 at these medical centers participated in the study, supplementing either vitamin D3, calcium or both. The research shows that daily supplementation over the span of three to five years did not reduce the risk of recurrent colorectal adenomas — benign tumors that have the possibility of developing into cancer. Now, researchers are focusing on the patients’ difference in genetic makeup and its influence on the treatment of vitamin D and calcium.

For now, the most effective way to protect against the cancer remains a colonoscopy and polyp removal.

Organizations prepare for first-years FROM GLC PAGE 1

Watson said.

Interfraternity Council vice president Daniel Pham ’16 said that the ban is a freshman-oriented policy that aims to encourage firstyears to foster strong relationships with each other. ”We’re interested in making sure that freshmen are able to find a community in their class,” he said.

Pham said that although he has not looked at specific numbers, he

-INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT DANIEL PHAM ’16

believes from speaking with leaders of Greek organizations that there were no problems this year with students adhering to the policy, which he said is consistent with past years.

Kinne said that now that freshmen are allowed into Greek houses, he anticipates that members of the organizations will take precautions to ensure that they are creating a safe environment for everyone, even if this means contacting Safety and Security and other resources if a student arrives intoxicated or requires medical assistance.

“We all have a vested interest in when first-years do come into social events where there is alcohol, that it be safe,” he said.

Kinne said that the new Alcohol Management Procedures — which outlines regulations for the management of alcoholic beverages at College-associated events — places a great deal of responsibility on the members of Greek organizations who are serving alcohol and working at the door during events.

Kinne said he thinks AMP will work to make the events safer for both hosts and those attending.

Pham said that how Greek organizations move forward as freshmen enter will vary from house to house.

“We want Greek houses to be a safe place where people can enjoy themselves and hang out on campus,” he said.

Affiliated students will be aware that first-years are not accustomed to Greek life and will be conscious of supporting them, Pham said.

“We know there are a lot of people who haven’t been in these basements before and don’t know how to handle themselves,” he said.

The continuous goal of the College’s Greek community is to make freshmen feel included and safe in Greek organizations, Panhellenic Council vice president of public relations Allison Chou ’17 said.

She said the ban on Greek organization entrance coincides with a period of adjustment for first-years and gives them the chance to ease into different social groups and environments on campus.

Dhungjoo Kim ’19 said that he thinks the freshman ban has more positive effects than negative.

“I think the [fraternity] ban is really beneficial, especially to the people who would normally be isolated while all their friends were at frats,” he said.

Kim said that he thinks it gives students the opportunity to bond with other members of their class.

He said that he is planning on

visiting Greek organizations this term now that the ban is lifted.

Kourosh Saghri ’19 said the ban has encouraged him to be more social with other freshman in a way that he might not have been otherwise.

Saghri said that he does not think that drinking should be a huge part of first-year life, but he believes that drinking in residence halls would happen regardless of the ban. Overall, he said he thinks that the ban has had a positive effect on fostering social interactions among freshmen.

Saghri is unsure about whether he wants to visit Greek houses. Although the ban has limited exposure to Greek houses, he does not believe this has had a significant impact on whether he will visit any organizations at any point.

“It does have an effect on my knowledge of the [fraternities] themselves, but I don’t think it’s a particularly negative thing,” he said.

Helping Out Humanity

Truly striving for diversity at the College means hearing all kinds of voices.

Last week. a relatively small-scale protest — or provocation, depending on your point of view — resulted in raucous uproar, seen in columns in The Dartmouth and campus-wide blitzes eager to make a statement. So to those who thought that the discussion about the “Indian apparel” posters was over — I also have something to say.

The recent incident caused an almost unchallenged chorus of disapproving voices. Therefore, I would like to provide a different perspective — while the promotion of the Dartmouth Indian may be immoral, calling it hate speech is an overstatement, and a dangerous one at that. Similarly, the College has no reason to launch a “thorough investigation” of this incident, simply because no one broke any specific rule. Moreover, there are two problems with the one-dimensional criticisms.

First, the College can never become truly diverse if it is afraid to hear dissenting opinions, and second, by punishing views that might offend someone on campus, the College would be moving closer to establishing some form of speech code — a dangerous move for an educational environment.

I will first explain why this is not an example of hate speech. The posters certainly were gratuitous in their use of the Indian mascot. Yes, they opposed the ban of the mascot and provoked the Dartmouth community, but did they clearly articulate hatred of Native American students?

No. Hate speech is usually defined as speech attacking a group of people or a person on the basis of race, religion or other personal attributes. While I oppose narrow textual interpretations of rules and laws, I fail to see how the posters constitute an attack on Native American students.

There are plenty of studies suggesting that using Native American caricatures as mascots in sports promotes stereotypes against this racial group, but that does not mean that support for these mascots equals belief in the stereotypes. It simply means that some people challenge the claimed connection between Native American mascots and stereotypes against Native Americans. Moreover, it could be that the students behind the posters have nothing against Native American students, and they really just contest the idea of political correctness. After all, the slogans

on the posters suggest the latter. Hate speech is an expression of hatred, and the posters do not necessarily belong to this category simply because they used the Indian head symbol.

The College often touts its diversity. If we really are committed to this goal, we must prepare ourselves to hear diverse opinions as well as consider diverse backgrounds. Diversity is just as much about opinion as anything else. By excluding opinions that might offend, we create a homogenous environment that is only superficially diverse. Among diverse students, it is likely that unconventional opinions will cause some offense, and we must be ready to debate these opinions rather than demonize them. Otherwise we would encourage administrators to look for “speech criminals,” and the school newspaper would become a collection of polished, neutral articles students read just to catch up on the successes of our football team. Even this column might offend someone — but that does not mean it should not be published.

That the flyers have been condemned by campus leaders and administrators as “hate speech” and that some desire administrative inquiry — possibly carrying disciplinary consequences for acts that are ostensibly not criminal — sends a worrisome signal that Dartmouth is closer to adopting some form of speech codes — if just unofficial ones. We have to be careful to avoid this practice as it undermines the principles of higher education. It would be a shame if universities become places where, instead of learning how to think, we learn what we are supposed to think and what we should condemn. In the outside world, people still discuss whether the usage of Native American mascots is justifiable, debate humans’ role in climate change, ask whether citizens should have the right to bear arms — we have to learn how to discuss these topics, not avoid them just because they sound ridiculous or somehow offensive to us. Learning can be uncomfortable, but we do not learn for comfort.

While we must draw a line between free speech and hate speech, we should not define it in extremes. In short, I urge Dartmouth to debate rather than vilify.

U.N. efforts to reduce global inequalities should encourage us all to do more.

In 2000, a group of representatives from the United Nations met to discuss the progress of worldwide development over the previous decade and sign into agreement the Millennium Development Goals. Their objective was to “galvanize unprecedented efforts to meet the needs of the world’s poorest.” The eight goals they set were eradicating extreme poverty and hunger; achieving universal primary education; promoting gender equality; reducing childhood mortality; improving maternal health; combating HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases; ensuring environmental sustainability and creating a global partnership for development. This plan, though ambitious, has pretty much worked — and it is vital that everyone support the Millennium Development Goals as they enter their next phase.

Since 1990, more than half of the population of people who had once subsisted on less than $1.25 a day have been lifted out of extreme poverty — some one billion people. The maternal mortality rate has been cut in half. The early childhood death rate has been cut in half.

Ninety-one percent of children in developing countries now receive a primary education, compared to 83 percent in 2000. The gender gap in primary education enrollment has also narrowed. In fact, in South Asia in 1990, there were 75 girls for every 100 boys in the classroom.

Today, there are 103 girls for every 100 boys. The only category without significant improvement is climate change. While the rate of deforestation has decreased slightly, global CO2 emissions have increased by over 50 percent in the last 25 years and continue to rise.

Nevertheless, significant gains have been made in global health and stability. To truly appreciate what the Millennium Development Goals have achieved, one must first understand the scale of these numbers. If we were to count to one million, it would take us nearly 12 days to do so. The number of people who have been lifted out of extreme poverty is not one million, but one billion — roughly 31 years. The magnitude of this accomplishment is astounding.

Yet there is still more work to be done. This

past month, members of the U.N. reconvened to pass a new set of goals — the Global Goals for 2030. The first goal on the list is “to end poverty in all its forms everywhere.” Other goals include zero hunger, providing lifelong learning opportunities for all and advancements in sustainable energy. According to the Global Goals website, they need assistance in sharing the goals through conversation, e-mail and debate.

Sharing the goals is of the utmost importance.

Social networks are incredibly powerful tools for disseminating information. Often, the content passed along through online channels of communication falls into one of two categories — posts that are provocative and shocking or those that are cute and entertaining. Think, “Thousands Die in Massive Earthquake” or “Outrageously Adorable Kitten Befriends Puppy.”

This column is neither of those two things, and I do not intend to sugarcoat the world. Every day, 16,000 children under the age of five die — the majority from preventable causes. No mother should have to bury her child. Likewise, no child should starve while fast food executives dream up the next Baconator. Of course, this is not to diminish the massive advancements made in agriculture and medicine over the past century, which as scientist Carl Sagan asserted “have saved vastly more lives” than all of those lost to war in human history.

The world can be a good place. We have already made it better for an astonishingly vast amount of people, but we cannot be complacent in the wake of good news, nor should we be discouraged by the tragedies emblazoned in headlines. Instead, we need to continue to make progress and fix the key problems facing humanity.

Someday, I hope that when my children come home from school and ask me, “Dad, what does it mean to live in poverty?” it will no longer be because they inhabit a niche of privilege in an otherwise destitute world. Rather, it will be because they will live in a world where extreme poverty no longer exists. The only way we will get to that point is if we start spreading awareness and making the Global Goals for 2030 a priority.

“Vedute” show explores Canaletto’s etchings of Venice

B y amelia rosch

The Dartmouth Senior Staff

Some of the details are so minute that the Hood Museum provides magnifying glasses so that visitors can see them all as they are transported to mid-18th century Venice, from the well-known sites such as the Grand Canal to imaginary landscapes. The Hood Museum’s exhibition “Canaletto’s ‘Vedute’ Prints” captures the complete collection of etchings created by Italian landscape artist and “grand master painter” Giovanni Canal, better known as “Canaletto.”

Bonnie MacAdam, who was one of the curators of the show, said that Canaletto was most famous for his paintings of Venice’s grand monuments. She said that these paintings were meant for tourists, especially English men visiting Venice as part of their “grand tours.” She said that Canaletto made the prints in the exhibit in the early 1740s as part of an experiment with etching.

“He showed absolute incredible virtuosity with the medium,” she said.

MacAdam said that the etchings in the exhibit are both large and small and show a range of scenes from better-known monuments to those made up of disparate elements that did not actually exist in Venice.

She said that the etchings on display tend to focus on a more “intimate” view of Venice and give a sense of the everyday people who inhabited the city.

“Some are accurate, and some are more imaginative,” she said.

“He might show a church that did

exist but then create a different setting for it. He was experimenting in a way that he did not in his paintings.”

She said that the etchings give visitors a sense of the skills that Canaletto had with the medium, especially in capturing light and shadow.

“They really are full of wonderful details,” she said. “You can get a sense of variety of lines he used to create the scenes of the city and countryside and the wider [Re-

public of Venice.] They are also strangely full of light. They have an almost shimmering quality to them.”

Studio art professor Louise Hamlin said that Canaletto’s work shows an amazing level of detail.

She said that she was struck by how he managed to combine the smaller

details with the overall composition of the pieces and the sense of humor his etchings display.

“Canaletto’s prints show an equal measure of skill and spontaneity, restraint and delight, representation and invention,” she said. “Though the prints may seem quite formal at first, closer viewing — magnifying glasses provided by the museum are great for this — reveals a very personal mark and often humor.”

MacAdam said that Canaletto’s etchings display a technical mastery down to the mark making and the use of line.

“No one in the 18th century was doing etchings of Venice like this,” she said. “They are quite extraordinary in terms of technique. We have one panel on the technique and details on how he’d use straight lines or hooked lines and through that, he’s able to convey different atmospheric qualities and different architectural features and textures.

They really are a tour de force.”

She said that her favorite piece in the collection, “Imaginary View of Venice (The House with the Inscription and the House with the Peristyle)” shows an unexpected side of Venice. She said that viewers can consider the piece as either two separate halves or one complete composition, and that on the surface it shows a normal scene of houses and boats but on the right side, there is a mysterious man staring over the city.

She said that she enjoys the painting because it highlights Canaletto’s interest in the less-painted aspects of Venice while showcasing his

The combination of buildings and the idea that this isn’t a place that tourists would seek out makes it especially interesting.”

MacAdam said that while most of Canaletto’s prints focus on Venice itself, there are some that focus on areas outside of the city which show Canaletto’s wilder side.

Senior curator of collections and academic programming Katherine Hart said that the exhibition was part of the Hood Museum’s continual efforts to honor the legacy of Adolph Weil ’35, who was an early member of the Hood Museum’s board of overseers.

She said that Weil donated his a large collection of prints and etchings by artistic “grand masters” to the museum. Former Hood curator Hillary Goldfarb put together two earlier shows based on Weil’s prints — “Humanist Vision,” which displayed Weil’s collection of prints by Rembrandt and the exhibit “Fatal Consequences,” which included prints by Francisco de Goya and Jacques Callot.

Hart said that before his death, Weil made plans to donate to his collection of prints to the Hood.

She said that Weil’s donation helped

raise the Hood’s profile and that the museum wanted to create an exhibition that took a comprehensive look at part of Weil’s collection.

“It really put us on the map in terms of prints by the old masters,” she said. “It is one of the richest gifts we have ever received at the Hood.

It was a transformative gift for us, and we have tried to honor it.”

Hart said that the Canaletto exhibition took about three years to plan.

She said that it took longer to plan for this exhibition because of the collaboration with the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts — Weil was from Montgomery, Alabama, and the museum there has parts of his collection.

“It was natural to co-plan with them because this is for his 100th birthday,” she said.

MacAdam said that in addition to the Canaletto etchings, the exhibition also holds maps to help orient visitors to where in Venice the etchings were set, as well as a collection of works by American artists responding to Venice, including pieces by James McNeill Whistler.

Hamlin said that seeing Canaletto and Whistler’s pieces next to each other created an interesting contrast.

“Whistler’s etchings, 140 years later, were more personal, intimate, and less technically strict,” she said. “Canaletto created atmosphere through inventive marks that covered the entire plate, while Whistler’s resulted in part from how much detail he left out.”

As part of the exhibition, the Hood Museum will also hold a lecture on “Viewing 18th-Century Venice with Canaletto and Casanova” by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts’ European chair Frederick Ilchman. The lecture will be on Friday at 5 p.m.

On Oct. 6, Hamlin give a gallery talk on how Canaletto’s etchings were created and how they compare to etchings by one of his contemporaries, the artist Giovanni Piranesi.

The exhibit is on display until Dec. 6.

Danilack scores late to keep men’s soccer undefeated in Ivy play

The Dartmouth men’s soccer team (7-3-1, 3-0 Ivy) extended its win streak to five games this past weekend against the University of Pennsylvania Quakers (2-8-1, 1-2 Ivy) with a 1-0 victory.

Captain Stefan Cleveland ’16 recorded his sixth shutout of the season, and the Big Green outshot its opponent 27-10.

“Coming into the game, we were a little antsy after what had happened the day before, with the game getting delayed. We were just ready to play,” Cleveland said, referring to the fact that the game was postponed following multiple power outages the day before.

“Also knowing that Penn was our only loss of the Ivy League last year gave us extra motivation to come out strong and try to get a goal early.”

Despite the offensive advantage, Dartmouth could not find the back

of the net until the 88th minute. Matt Danilack ’18 headed in a corner kick from Justin Donawa ’19. The goal was Danilack’s third of the season.

“Justin Donawa, a freshman, put a great ball in, and I was just in the right spot,” Danilack said. “They actually didn’t mark me, so I pretty much had a free header. [I’m] just happy to get another win. We had so many chances that game, and anyone could’ve scored the winning goal.”

In his second season, Danilack has taken on a significant leadership role. After a talented class of seniors graduated this past spring, including Danilack’s brother Hugh Danilack ’15, there were questions about who would step up for the Big Green. So far this season, Danilack is one of two Dartmouth players who have started every single game. In addition, he ranks second on the team in shots on goal with six and leads the team in goals after his late header.

Penn’s freshman goalkeeper Etan Mabourakh made 10 saves in the game, which more than doubled his career total. Cleveland was pressured into just one save situation all game as Dartmouth picked up its third consecutive Ivy League win.

Dartmouth threatened from the openingwhistle, testing the Penn defense with three shots in the first 10 minutes.

A couple of offside calls stopped some dangerous Dartmouth runs. The Big Green committed six offside penalties, compared to Penn’s zero.

“We started the first very well. The team was very focused against a dangerous team,” head coach Chad Riley said in a press conference. “We came out in the second half and picked up right where we left off, but with more energy and made the goalkeeper work a little harder. We kept pushing until we got that goal.”

Dartmouth has won all three of

its Ivy League games by a 1-0 score.

After a tough road trip to Seattle in mid-September, when Dartmouth allowed five combined goals against the University of Washington and Seattle University, the Big Green defense has let just one shot slip into the net.

“I haven’t really had to make any bigtime saves, especially in the last couple of games,” Cleveland said. “I’ve had to make saves, but when the defense does so well, we’ll give the other team shots from 25, 30 yards out. If those are the only save I have to make, then we’ve got no problems.”

On the other hand, Dartmouth’s offensive game has been solid and steady, capitalizing just enough on its opportunities to get the ball in the back of the net. Long, looping passes to speedy forwards Eduvie Ikoba ’19, Amadu Kunateh ’19 and Yima Asom ’18 consistently threatened the Quaker defense. The three strikers are the top

three in shots taken on the team.

Sunday’s victory was also the first game where the Big Green has avoided a booking. Before this game, Dartmouth had picked up at least one yellow or red card in every game of the season, putting the team’s personnel in some tough situations.

“Riley told us to keep our challenges in check and be as respectful as possible to referees,” Danilack said. “We’ve been struggling with them a little bit this year, so we just had to stay a little calmer, a little more composed, and it paid off.”

The Sunday afternoon matchup was originally scheduled for Saturday evening but was postponed after power outages delayed the earlier women’s game.

This weekend, Dartmouth returns to Burnham Field after two weeks on the road. The Big Green will host Columbia University at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 24.

After power outage, women’s soccer tallies late goal to tie Penn

B y EMILY WECHSLER The Dartmouth Staff

Women’s soccer was unable to break into the Ivy League win column this weekend, tying the University of Pennsylvania 1-1 at Rhodes Field. In fact, after nearly three hours, they came within 19 seconds of adding a third to the loss column, until Jill Dayneka ’16 found the tying tally with her head.

The Big Green (7-3-3, 0-2-2 Ivy) had every reason to expect the match against the Quakers (5-3-5, 0-1-3) to be an even fight, yet they came out flat, head coach Ron Rainey said. Penn dominated play in the first half, earning eight shots to Dartmouth’s three.

“I thought that we came out a little bit tentative and not ready for how they were going to attack us and play physically. They worked harder than us at the beginning of the game,” Rainey said.

At halftime the team tried to regroup, but shortly after the break Penn junior Olivia Blaber fired a shot across the goal from 30 yards out, just out of reach of the diving Dartmouth goalkeeper Casey Cousineau ’17. Penn went up 1-0.

Dartmouth fought Penn more strongly in the second half, putting up five shots to Penn’s one.

“In the second half I thought we attacked well,” Rainey said.

Then, midway through the second half, the lights went out.

This gave Dartmouth a second, 20-minute-long halftime to regroup and change their formation.

“It’s something that I’ve never been involved in in like 25 years, so it gives you almost another halftime,” Rainey said. “And at that time we decided to change our formation a little bit to give us a few more opportunities going forward, so that worked actually pretty well.”

Dartmouth pushed one of its defensive center midfielders into a more offensive role. Since Penn was playing an identical formation, this placed the Big Green defense under more pressure, but also made it equally difficult for Penn to defend itself.

“We really went flying at them for the next 20 minutes,” Dayneka said.

When the lights went out again with mere minutes to play, the Big Green women knew they had little time left. In the 20 minutes it took to reset the lights, they prepared themselves for four minutes of battle.

“The seniors just kind of grouped together, and we were like,

‘We’re going to go for it. We have nothing to lose here, everything to gain. We should just fly forward as much as possible,’” Dayneka said.

With this attacking mindset came the decision to send Dayneka, a defender, forward when Jackie

“I thought that we came out a little bit tentative and not ready for how they were going to attack us and play physically.”

- WOMEN’S SOCCER HEAD COACH RON RAINEY Friedman ’16 took free kicks. Penn was very aggressive in the air, Dayneka said, and Dartmouth was struggling to win the air balls.

When the team earned a free kick with seconds left on the clock from about 30 yards out, everything was in position for an equalizing goal. “[Friedman] kind of put it in an area only I could get to, and I

was like, okay, I better get there,” Dayneka said. “It was exciting, but it kind of felt like the final push that we had been working for all game.”

Having tied the game 1-1, Dartmouth had a decision to make as they headed into overtime.

“Sometimes you head into overtime, and you don’t want to take too many chances because its golden goal, so you’ve got to wait for one of your chances to go and bury it, because sometimes you’re going for it too hard and you can give something up in the process,” Dayneka said, “But we said immediately, let’s go for it, we want to go for it.”

That decision turned out well for Dartmouth, as they put high pressure on Penn, though the game still ended after two scoreless overtime periods in a tie.

“Through a couple of the power outages and those kind of things we stayed pretty resilient and tough, and it was pretty cool to score that late in the game to tie it up,” Rainey said.

After an impressive start to their season, including two 6-0 wins in nonconference play, Dartmouth had high hopes for its Ivy League prospects. Though the team has played well, the women have not

converted against Ivy opponents as well as they did earlier in the season. Now the players are looking forward to getting to play with each other three more times, knowing that for the seniors, and for this group of players, this is a season that could have been .

“Obviously things haven’t gone exactly as we would have wanted, but the team of girls is exactly who I would want to play my last season with,” Friedman said, “And I think that we’ve all become really close and done the best that we could with the circumstances that we had, and that’s all we can really ask.”

Yet despite tying this game and not getting the results they wanted this season, players and coaches agreed that they felt good about the hard work they had done in their game against Penn and throughout the season. In particular, Rainey felt they had played with passion.

“It doesn’t matter if we have four wins in the league right now or zero, we want to play like we did the last 45 minutes of that game the whole 90 minutes against Columbia [University],” Rainey said.

The Big Green will face Columbia at home this Saturday at 4:30 p.m.
