Big Green men and women's lacrosse teams have a successful week on the field.
The lacrosse teams are well on their way to replicating the starts they had in the 2020 season before things shut down for 2021. Senior Daniel Hincks has backstopped the men's team to a 3-1 record, including a career-high 20 saves in the win over Vermont. Junior midfielder Katie Elders tossed in a career-high six goals and added an assist to down the Merrimack Warriors, 16-5.
Their efforts are rewarded by being named the DartmouthSports.com Athletes of the week.
