Michela Moore, Fy., Monte Sereno, Calif., Women's Tennis
Michela Moore, one of a few talented first-years on the Dartmouth women's tennis team, was key in the Big Green's, 5-2, win over Boston University with victories in both doubles and singles. Partnering with fellow rookie Peyton Capauno, Moore earned a victory at No. 2 doubles before winning in straight sets over 2022 Patriot League Player of the Year Victoria Carlsten at No. 2 singles. The win improved Dartmouth's record to 2-0 and avenged 2023's 6-1 loss to the Terriers.
Brandon Mitchell-Day, So., St. Louis, Mo. F., Men's Basketball
Brandon Mitchell-Day put forth a sensational effort, posting 22 points and 10 rebounds for his third-career double-double. He scored 16 second-half points to help the Big Green erase an 11-point halftime deficit, while also adding two assists and two blocks in a ,75-71, win over Brown. For the game, Mitchell-Day shot 7-of-13 from the field, including 5-of-6 from 3-point range. He was 5-of-7 in the second half, including 3-of-3 from distance. Mitchell-Day posted Dartmouth's first 20+ point, 10+ rebound double-double since Dame Adelekun last Jan. 28 vs. Columbia. It marked the best 3-point percentage in a game by a Big Green player with at least five makes since Dusan Neskovic was also 5-of-6 at Fordham on Nov. 7, 2022. Mitchell-Day was clutch down the stretch. In the final two minutes, he hit a 3-pointer to go ahead then blocked a shot and grabbed the rebound. Mitchell-Day went on to grab an offensive rebound and hit two free throws to put Dartmouth in front, 73-71, before capping off the victory with a dunk in the final seconds.
