This week's Cross High-Performance Male Athlete of the Week -
Matt Lindblad - went above and
beyond leading the Big Green. Lindblad, a freshman, recorded three
points in a 7-3 victory against Colgate on Saturday.
Dartmouth Male Athlete of the Week:
Matt Lindblad (Winnetka, Ill.), Men's Hockey,
Freshman, Forward
Freshman Matt Lindblad (Winnetka, Ill.) got back to the
scoring he saw earlier this season with three points in a 7-3 win
over Colgate last weekend. Lindblad, who has been sick the last
couple of weeks, was finally back to full strength and he showed it
when he tipped the puck into the back of the net early in the
second period to give the Big Green a 3-1 lead. In the final two
goals of the contest, he made two heads-up plays that resulted in
the sixth and seventh goals for Dartmouth. He is Dartmouth's
highest scoring rookie this season with 17 points and was a +5 in
two games last week for the Big Green.
