ON THE COVER
A Stowe, Vermont native, senior
Mackenzie St. Onge was tabbed as
this year's captain for the women's
ice hockey team. Appearing in
almost every game of her athletic
career at Dartmouth, over 100 and
counting, Mackenzie has been a key
player on this year's team.
The recruiting visit of Mackenzie
St. Onge '17 was made possible
by the generosity of David & Lee
Lemal, Dartmouth Parents, and
Barry Smith '59 through the Athletic
Sponsors Program.

4 FOR COUNTRY, FOR DARTMOUTH
Junior Morgan Philie is not only an essential component
of Dartmouth's field hockey defense, but a dedicated cadet
in Dartmouth's Army Reserve Officer Training Corps. Her
experience in both programs has helped build the foundation for
her success.
8 GROWING AT DARTMOUTH
Brandon Cooper, a senior on Dartmouth's football team, chose
the Big Green as his home away from home for not only the
things he could bring Dartmouth, but for what Dartmouth would
give to him.
12 Making Championships a Reality
First-year women's lacrosse head coach Danielle Spencer
has both the playing and coaching experience to make
championships at Dartmouth a reality. Coming from a lacrosse
powerhouse, Spencer is familiar with what it takes to bring the
Big Green back to the top of the Ancient Eight.
16 BRIDGE TO SUCCESS
The Tuck Bridge program is not for the faint of heart – late
nights, early mornings, daily presentations, and little downtime.
Four student-athletes highlight their experience and their
motivation to complete such a rigorous program.
