What to Expect From Going Green

Thanks to everyone who has read, bookmarked and commented on our fledgling Dartmouth Women's Hoops Blog! Please keep reading and passing it along to friends. We are all excited to share the 2009-10 season (and preseason) with you.

Our vision for "Going Green" is to provide a forum where the Dartmouth women's basketball team can share a different side of itself with its followers. We'll go beyond the formality of press releases and game stories. In addition to postings from Coach Wielgus, you'll likely be hearing a lot from me, Dara Ely. I'm entering my fourth year as an assistant director in our athletic communications (sports information) office here at Dartmouth. I have the truly good fortune of working with women's basketball including traveling with the team. I'll be logging on throughout the season to offer my thoughts and perspective on the team and to share our news. The women's basketball team is such a diverse, talented, intelligent and dedicated group of student-athletes and coaches and I consider myself lucky to work with them.

Speaking of those student-athletes — you can expect to hear from them as well on the blog! We have nine letterwinners returning from the 2008-09 Ivy Championship team and welcome four freshmen to the Big Green. Those 13 women hail from 10 different states and two countries, bringing so many different views and experiences to the team. That's what makes Dartmouth women's basketball unique - players from diverse backgrounds coming together with a common goal. Our travels this season will take us all over the Northeast as well as Ohio and California, home states of three players. The Ivy League basketball experience is exhilarating and unparalleled and our student-athletes will blog throughout the season to provide their thoughts.

As always we welcome comments and questions submitted through the blog or via email to dartmouthwhoops@dartmouth.edu

Go Big Green!
-Dara Ely, SID
