HANOVER, N.H. — Dartmouth, which led the NCAA with 50 3-pointers through three games, continued its long-distance ways on Tuesday night at Leede Arena, dropping 13 treys on Division III Elms College as the Big Green (3-1) ran away with a 100-54 victory on Tuesday evening at Leede Arena. Junior James Foye led five players in double figures with 16 points with four of the long balls, while classmates Ian Carter and Ian Sistare each had 15 points to drop the Blazers to 0-2.

All 11 active players on the Big Green roster got into the scoring act with Foye knocking down 6-of-10 field goals and 4-of-7 from deep. Carter's 15 points on 5-of-9 shooting with a 3-ball and 4-of-5 at the line were his first foray into double figures in his career, while Sistare matched his career best while missing only one free throw all night (4-for-4 from the floor with two threes, 5-of-6 at the line).

As a team, Dartmouth 53.2 percent overall (33-of-62) and 39.4 percent from downtown (13-of-33). Elms, meanwhile, was held to 36.1 percent from the floor (22-of-61) and 34.8 percent from the perimeter (8-of-23). The Big Green held a 44-29 advantage on the glass, forced 20 turnovers with a season-high 12 steals.

Although sophomore Adrease Jackson started the scoring in the game with a trifecta, it was Elms that jumped out to an early lead thanks to hitting three of its first four shots from behind the arc for an 11-3 lead barely four minutes into the game. Foye then traded triples with Michal Ohradka, who led the Blazers with 15 points, before Foye and junior Brendan Barry (14 points) hit back-to-back threes to tie the score at 14.

A Sistare long ball put Dartmouth back on top, 17-16, and after Elms tied the score at 18, Foye canned a jumper at the free throw line to start a 16-0 run to give the Green the lead for good. By halftime, Dartmouth held a 41-22 advantage.

Jackson — the fifth Dartmouth player in double figures on the night with a dozen points — started the second half with a two-hand slam off a feed from sophomore Chris Knight, who had grabbed an offensive rebound for one of his game- and career-high 11 rebounds. That put the Big Green lead over 20 points for the first time.

Almost five minutes into the second stanza, Dartmouth put the game well out of reach with a 21-point run that lasted five minutes. Foye, Barry and Sistare got things rolling with consecutive 3-pointers before Carter scored his first points of the evening after rebounding his own miss. Foye and Sistare capped the run with back-to-back buckets, leaving Dartmouth up, 74-35, with 10 minutes to play.

The lead ballooned to 41 points at 78-37 on a Carter fast-break layup, then reached as many as 52 when Carter popped a trey from the corner to make it a 94-42 game with 3:13 remaining. The final points came on a reverse layup by sophomore Isaac Letoa to get the Big Green to triple digits.

After the Blazers hit four 3-pointers in the first 5:08 of the contest, they could only get four more to fall the rest of the night.

With the 13 3-pointers, Dartmouth has hit at least 10 in each of its first four games, its longest streak since a six-game stretch in February of 2002. And the 63 triples over a four-game span easily bests the Big Green's previous best of 47 set during that same season.

Dartmouth has the next week off as the college begins fall term finals, but will be back on the hardwood when it travels to the University of Buffalo on Nov. 21 for a 7 p.m. tilt that will be streamed live on ESPN+.

Notes: Barry entered the game shooting 70 percent (14-of-20) from distance, then improved his accuracy with a 4-for-5 night to boost his percentage to 72.0 … he is now 96-of-200 (48 percent) for his career behind the arc … this is the first time in 30 seasons that Dartmouth has hit the century mark twice, having defeated Newbury College a week ago by a final of 114-39.
