After taking a 12-11 lead 7:55 into its game against Colgate University, the Big Green men's basketball team held on to earn its second victory of the season, 80-63, on Saturday at home.
Dartmouth (2-4, 0-0 Ivy) notched its first win at home against the Raiders (0-5, 0-0 Patriot) after falling to Quinnipiac University last Tuesday in Hanover, 69-52.
"We are in a rebuilding mode, so any time you work as hard as the players work and they can get rewarded with a solid home win is something that is going to make coming to practice a lot easier because they have had a positive experience," head coach Paul Cormier said on Saturday.
Captain Clive Weeden '11 led the Big Green in scoring with 14 points against Colgate, knocking down four field goals and six free throws.
