Yale Emerges As Perennial Contender

Key additions Chris Owens; Arnel Scott; Dodson Worthington; Dalen Cuff; Dragutin Kravic.

Key losses Joe Case; Craig Austin; Treg Duerksen; Derrick Mayo.

KEY RETURNEES Chris Wiedemann.

AT A GLANCE

Columbia lost almost everybody. From a sixth-place team, no less. Ouch ... Chief among the losses is Craig Austin, the 2001 Ivy Player of the Year and leading scorer last season (15.8 ppg) .... Freshmen should have an immediate impact on this squad and Columbia has some promising ones in Arnel Scott at guard and Dodson Worthington at forward. Both are potential Rookie of the Year contenders ... Chris Wiedemann is Columbia’s veteran leader. At 6’10, he takes up a lot of space and is considered a ferocious shot-blocking presence.

DARTMOUTH

Coach Dick Faucher (125-164, 12 seasons)

Last SEASON 9-18 (2-12, tied-7th)

Key additions Calvin Arnold, Patrick Cuttica, Michael Lang.

Key losses Flinder Boyd; Vedad Osmanovic.

KEY RETURNEES Mike McLaren; Charles Harris; Scott Klingbeil; Greg Friel; Steve Callahan.

AT A GLANCE

Flinder Boyd was Dartmouth’s Mr. Everything one season ago, enjoying the best all-around year and just missing out on All-Ivy recognition as the Big Green’s point guard and top scorer. In his stead, Callahan will serve as Faucher’s floor general. He’ll have huge shoes to fill ... McLaren emerged last season as one of the league’s top sharp-shooters in his rookie season. Expect more of the same in 2002-03 ... Harris is the Big Green’s leading returning scorer. He averaged 10.8 ppg a season ago.
