Men's hockey
Men’s hockey dropped a 2-1 contest at Colgate University on Friday evening before bouncing back the next night with a 4-2 win against Cornell University. After the weekend’s action, the Big Green have an 8-11-3 overall record and a 5-8-2 conference record to sit in eighth place in the ECAC standings.
Colgate came out strong on Friday, building a 2-0 lead on goals from Brett Corkey and Bobby McMann, but Dartmouth got one back on a Kevin Neiley ’18 tally 6:04 into the third period. Despite outshooting the home squad 9-5 in the final stanza, the Big Green was unable to sneak another one by Colgate goaltender Charlie Finn, who made 26 saves in the victory and became the Raiders’ all-time leader in saves (3,071) late in the third period. Devin Buffalo ’18 got the starting nod for Dartmouth and registered 24 saves.
Dartmouth struggled on special teams, going 0-for-5 on the power play — just the second time in the preceding 11 games that the Big Green had been shut out on the man-advantage.
On Saturday evening at Cornell University, Dartmouth scored four unanswered goals to upset the No. 14 team in the nation. Alex Jasiek ’19 notched the tying and winning goals on the power play just 62 seconds apart in the third to extend the Big Green’s unbeaten streak at Lynah Rink to five games.
Cornell got goals from Matt Nuttle and Matt Buckles in the first before Cam Roth ’19 got one back for Dartmouth in the second stanza. Neither team would add to the scoresheet until 12:17 into the third when Jasiek got a piece of a Troy Crema ’17 pass in front of Cornell goaltender Mitch Gillam, who was unable to corral the bouncing puck. After Jasiek’s game winner, Crema added an empty-netter with 1:31 left to seal the victory.
Buffalo kept the Big Red off the scoresheet in the second and third periods and was credited with 34 saves in the win. Cornell’s Gillam made 26 saves in the loss.
Dartmouth went 3-6 on extra-man opportunities, while Cornell was 1-3 with the extra skater.
Women's hockey
The women’s ice hockey team fell to No. 8 Cornell University 1-0 in a tight battle on Friday evening at Thompson Arena. The Big Green dropped to 5-16-0 overall and 3-12-0 in the ECAC amidst continued offensive struggles.
The only goal of the evening came 9:31 into the first period when Kaitlin Doering got the visitors on the board. Dartmouth goalie Robyn Chemago ’17 kept the door closed on Cornell for the remainder of the game, making 28 saves in the loss. Cornell’s Marlene Boissonnault stopped all 13 Dartmouth shots she saw, including a flurry down the stretch after Chemago was pulled for an extra skater. Special teams were kept off the ice for most of the evening, with each team getting only a single power play opportunity.
On Saturday afternoon against Colgate University, the Big Green was unable to rebound from a slow start and fell to the Raiders 6-1.
Chemago was one of the lone bright spots for the Big Green, making 36 saves, including an athletic breakaway stop late in the first that kept the home squad in the contest. Colgate’s Julia Vandyk made 30 saves to earn her 16th victory of the season.
Colgate jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period behind goals from Megan Sullivan and Livia Altmann. Annika Zalewski made it 3-0 for the visitors on a second period power play, but Dartmouth finally got on the board when Kennedy Ottenbreit ’17 knocked a backhander past Vandyk 9:24 into the final stanza. The visitors would proceed to score three more times in the contest, including two empty net goals after head coach Laura Schuler pulled Chemago for an extra skater in an attempt to close the gap.
Dartmouth managed 31 shots on net but could not capitalize on three power play tries. Colgate peppered Chemago with 42 shots and managed one goal on four man-advantages.
“Colgate is a really good team with a lot of offense,” Schuler said. “I am proud of our girls for not giving up and showing a lot of resiliency, but we need to find a way to put the puck in the net.”
Dartmouth had been held scoreless in three straight outings before notching a goal against Colgate. In 22 games this season, the Big Green has scored an ECAC-worst 1.18 goals per game. Dartmouth (5-17-0, 3-13-0) is tied for 10th in the ECAC with Ivy League rival Brown University.
