While most Dartmouth students were home enjoying the holiday break, the Big Green men’s and women’s hockey teams were skating hard and competing at home and on the road. Sydney Herrington, from just down the road in Bow, New Hampshire, had a trifecta of goals and assists in five games for the women’s team. On the men’s side Josh Waters had the first two goals of his collegiate career in the Ledyard Tournament held in Thompson Arena.
Their efforts are rewarded by being named the DartmouthSports.com Athletes of the week.
Each week, DartmouthSports.com will spotlight two outstanding student-athletes - one male, one female - as Athletes of the Week. Student-athletes may be chosen based upon their efforts both on and off the field of competition.
Sydney Herrington, Jr., Bow, N.H., Forward, Women’s Hockey
