It was an aqua sort of weekend for the Big Green. From the liquid kind in the pool to the frozen kind in the rink Dartmouth athletes made themselves known. Sophomore Matt Hubbarde had a stick in the way of leading the men’s hockey team to two wins on the road with a goal and four assists. Freshman Julianne Jones is setting a high standard for herself in the meets to come. At the Tate Ramsden Invitational, Jones raced to a top finish in the 200 breast with a time of 2:16.60, which marked a pool record and ranks third in program history.
