HANOVER, N.H. -- The Dartmouth men's hockey team takes its four-game win streak to the road as the Big Green travels to Colgate and Cornell. Dartmouth takes on Colgate, Friday at 7:00 pm and then Cornell, Saturday at 7:00 pm. The Big Green currently sits atop the ECAC standings with a 4-2 overall record and 4-1 in the league. These two ECAC Hockey games will be the last Dartmouth plays in 2008 as the Big Green will take on nonleague opponents in December.

SCOUTING COLGATE
Colgate is currently on a three-game non winning streak as the Raiders recently tied Cornell after dropping a game to the Big Red and the Princeton Tigers. Colgate started the season off winning four of its last five games with victories over UMass Lowell, Bentley, Robert Morris and Quinnipiac. Brian Day leads his team with seven goals and eight points while David McIntyre has added seven points. Francois Brisebois and Austin Smith have both notched six points. In net the Raiders have had two trying to replace Mark Dekanich. Charles Long has played in seven games and has a 3-3-1 record while Alex Evin has earned one victory in two games. Long has a 2.00 GAA and a .917 save percentage while Evin has a 0.91 GAA and a .928 save percentage.

VERSUS COLGATE
Colgate and Dartmouth have one of the most evenly matched series the Big Green has played. The two teams began playing in 1929 as Dartmouth opened up with an 8-1 victory in New York. The Big Green began the series with 11 straight wins and currently leads in the series, 39-37-4. Since Bob Gaudet began coaching at Dartmouth his teams have gone 15-11-3.
