Midway through its season, the Dartmouth women’s hockey team is at a crossroads. While the Big Green (9-6-0, 6-4-0 ECAC) has fared well in recent matchups, it has not yet distinguished itself as a championship contender in the Eastern College Athletic Conference.
This weekend represents an opportunity for the Big Green to prove itself by making a statement against two lesser teams in the conference — Clarkson University and St. Lawrence University.
After the Big Green dropped a winnable game on the road against Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute before picking up a much-needed victory against a last-place Union College team last weekend, Dartmouth currently sits fifth in the conference standings with 12 points. This weekend, the Big Green will take on Clarkson (6-12-3, 3-5-1 ECAC) and St. Lawrence (9-10-2, 4-5-0 ECAC) — both of whom lie behind Dartmouth in the standings — in a two-game home series.
