Akikazu onda / The Dartmouth Staff akikazu onda / The Dartmouth Staff Co-captain Jenna Cunningham '10 secured her 100th career point this weekend as the Dartmouth's women's hockey team earned its first two-game sweep of the season against league rivals Brown and Yale. After splitting the last two weekends at home, the Big Green (4-3-1, 4-3-1 ECAC Hockey) highlighted its offensive prowess on the road this weekend, taking control early in both matches and peppering both the Bears and the Bulldogs with shots.
