Offense leads the way for hoops
When the men’s basketball team got off to a 20-4 start against Dartmouth on Saturday night, the Bulldogs’ 180-degree turnaround was complete. Yale (9-11, 3-3) ended a three-game skid with a pair of conference victories at home over rival Harvard (6-16, 1-5) and Dartmouth (8-12, 1-5 Ivy).

Elis crash back to earth on the road
After a 3-1 start had the women’s basketball team flying high and in first place in Ivy League standings, this weekend saw them rapidly falling back to earth. Yale, Harvard and Dartmouth all came into the weekend tied for first place, but after the dust had settled, only the Crimson and Big Green would retain that position. The Bulldogs (5-14, 3-3 Ivy) lost both games...

Men’s hockey hits roadblock on ECAC trip
It’s two steps forward and now one step back for the men’s hockey team. After two solid weekends of ECAC play, the Bulldogs (10-9-4, 6-6-4 ECAC) faltered on the road this weekend, dropping back-to-back games to conference powerhouses No. 16 Quinnipiac (17-7-4, 9-3-4) and No. 19 Princeton (14-9-0, 11-5-0). It was a weekend of missed opportunities for the Elis, who had...

Howser saves Elis at Quinnipiac
This past weekend, the women’s ice hockey team held on to its place in the ECAC rankings — but its members also had to watch as the conference leaders drew further out of reach. The Bulldogs (9-10-6, 6-8-4 ECAC) dropped a close match to conference rival Princeton (12-8-5, 10-6-2) on Friday night, falling 2-1 at Ingalls Rink despite outshooting the Tigers, 27-25. The...
