HANOVER, N.H. – The Dartmouth men's hockey team defeated Yale, 4-3, on Saturday evening at Thompson Arena in the Ledyard Classic. Dartmouth improves to 2-11-1 while Yale is now 1-10-1 on the season.

Matt Hubbarde, Braiden Dorfman, Nate Morgan and Tyler Campbell each scored for the Big Green. John Fusco, Steven Townley, Jack Cameron, Tanner Palocsik and Dorfman all had assists. Cooper Black finished with 18 saves to earn his second win of the season.

Brandon Tabakin had one goal and one assist for the Bulldogs. Bayard Hall and Briggs Gammill each scored while David Chen had two assists.

The Big Green opened the scoring early with their sixth power play goal of the season. Dorfman played the puck into the middle to Hubbarde, who redirected it with a perfect shot through the Yale defense and past goaltender Nathan Reid for his third goal of the year.

The Bulldogs tied the game five minutes later when Tabakin shot it from the blue line past Black.

It did not take long before Dartmouth took back the lead as Dorfman scored his third goal of the season midway through the opening period. The Big Green piled on the pressure behind the Yale goal, forcing a turnover from the Bulldogs. The misplayed pass was intercepted by Dorfman, who got to it first and smashed it in.

The scoring for the first period wasn't done yet as the Bulldogs tied it for the second time in the opening frame. Chen skated his way down the ice and passed it across the front of goal to Hall for the tap-in.

Dartmouth was handed a five-minute major midway through the second period. On the penalty kill, the Big Green forced a turnover that led to Morgan barreling towards goal. Morgan made the shifty move around Reid and went top shelf for the short-handed goal. Yale tied it again for the third time when Gammill got a shot past Black.

GRAB THAT PUCK!!!!!

Nate Morgan scores his first career goal, a short-handed goal, to put the Big Green back in the lead!!!
