HANOVER -- Junior guard DeVon Mosley poured in 12 of his game-high 18
points in the second half and grabbed a career-high nine rebounds as
Dartmouth showed no signs of exam-break rust in an 88-52 win over
Division III Daniel Webster Saturday night.

Mosley knocked down 4-of-6 shots from beyond the arc to help the Big
Green (5-4) win for the fourth time in its last five games and defeat
the Nashua, N.H., school in the first-ever meeting between the teams.

With the win Dartmouth is off to its best start since the 2001-02 team
opened with the same nine-game record.

"Coming off an 11-day layoff you really don't know what to expect,"
said Big Green coach Terry Dunn. "You just want guys to come out, play
hard, defend well, execute and play with enthusiasm, and I thought for
the most part we did that tonight. We also had a chance to work on a
few things we wanted to work on."

Junior forward Alex Barnett had 10 points and six assists for
Dartmouth while classmate Adam Powers had 12 points in 11 active
minutes. Senior co-captain Johnathan Ball added eight points and 10
rebounds for the Big Green.

"Six assists is probably a career high for Alex," said Dunn.
(Barnett's previous high was four.) "He made some great decisions with
the pass tonight. He played very unselfish because there were times he
could have scored, but he did a good job of sharing the ball.

"Adam Powers did a great job playing inside and John Ball played
pretty good tonight, particularly defensively," Dunn added.

Daniel Webster (3-4), playing its first official game ever against a
Division I opponent -- the Eagles lost to The Citadel last month in a
game that counted for The Citadel but was ruled an exhibition for the
Eagles -- got 17 points from Brian Inge and nine from Ahmad
Hemingway. Dartmouth limited the visitors to 31.9 percent shooting.

The Big Green never trailed, jumping out to a 44-19 halftime lead and
adding to it with 57.1 percent shooting from the field in the second
half. The Big Green finished with season-highs of 26 assists and 12
blocks while shotting a season-best 50-percent from 3-point range
(8-for-16). Ten players scored for Dartmouth, which got 26 points off
its bench and got all 14 dressed players into the game.

Marlon Sanders and Michael Giovacchini each chipped in eight points
for the Big Green, which travels to Quinnipiac Wednesday.

"We've got the next nine out of 11 games on the road and we've got to
become road warriors in a hurry," said Dunn. "After Quinnipiac we've
got Army on Saturday. It's one game at a time."

Dartmouth doesn't return home until Jan. 11, when Harvard invades Leede Arena.
