HANOVER, N.H. - Each week, DartmouthSports.com spotlights two outstanding student-athletes - one male, one female - as Dartmouth's Athletes of the Week and freshman Sasha Nanji (Markham, Ont.) was chosen for her effort over the weekend.
Nanji was one of the catalysts this past weekend, helping the Big Green post a 1-1 record with a win over 10th-ranked Princeton on Friday night. She got things started with Dartmouth's first goal and her first collegiate tally midway through the opening period. Nanji made the initial shot that got stopped, but she stayed with it and beat the netminder for the 1-0 lead. She then followed that with an assist on a power play goal from senior Sarah Toupal (White Bear Lake, Minn.). Nanji finished the weekend with her second assist coming against Quinnipiac in a tough 2-1 loss to the Bobcats. She leads all defensive players on the Big Green with four points and is second in ECAC Hockey among blueliners with 0.67 points per game.
You scored your first collegiate goal against Princeton
on Friday. How did it feel and did you think you would score this
early in the season?
It felt absolutely amazing especially with a big win go
along with it! With all the chances I've been getting in our first
four games, I was disappointed it didn't come any earlier.
