Winter and spring collide in Hanover sports action
Cross-over season is coming to an end with winter sports all but wrapped up and spring sports in full swing. The men's basketball team ended on a high note, sweeping the Harvard Crimson at Leede Arena on senior night. Dame Adelekun put an exclamation point on his season with 19 points. Meanwhile, on a week still holding on to winter weather, Katina Christensen had six goals in two games for the women's lacrosse team.
Their efforts are rewarded by being named The Richards Group 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.
