Team Notes: Dartmouth Continues Homestand

The following article appeared November 11 on the Dartmouth Web site.

 

HANOVER, N.H. - The Dartmouth women's hockey team will play its final home games of the month this weekend as 10th-ranked Princeton and Quinnipiac visit Hanover for a pair of key showdowns for the Big Green.

HOME COOKING
The Big Green will be back at Thompson Arena for the second straight weekend with No. 10 Princeton and Quinnipiac coming to Hanover. Dartmouth went 1-1 in its first home weekend and will be facing its third ranked opponent in the last three games on Friday night with the Tigers. The Big Green is in unfamiliar territory because recently Dartmouth has seen success in home opening weekends with a 7-1 mark dating back to 2005. Last season, the Big Green beat fourth-ranked Boston College in the home opener and out-scored Union and Rensselaer 11-1 in the next two. Dartmouth will look for this trend to continue this weekend.

DUMAIS ON THE POWER PLAY

Freshman forward Camille Dumais has made her impact felt on a power play that has had its problems early on in the season. Dumais helped the Big Green capitalize on two of its 10 opportunities with the man advantage. The first came in the second period to tie the game at 2-2 as she hooked up with rookies Sasha Nanji and Sally Komarek. The second came as insurance in the third with 9:15 remaining as Komarek and junior Katie Horner helped seal the deal.
