The Richards Group - Athletes of the Week - Taylor and Pierce

The winter season is in full swing for the Big Green and the athletes wearing the green and white are excelling in their chosen sport. On the ice junior Ian Pierce led the men's hockey team to a win over the Catamounts of the University of Vermont. Across the street in Leverone Field House the men's and women's track and field teams hosted the 34^th edition of the Dartmouth Relays. For the second-straight week senior Chloe Taylor vaulted to victory in the pole vault, setting a personal best mark.

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.

Ian Pierce, Jr., Edgewater, N.J., D, Men's Hockey

Junior defender Ian Pierce played a key role for the Big Green men's hockey team in their 4-3 victory over Vermont in front of a sold-out crowd at Thompson Arena. Pierce lit the lamp twice on Saturday, including the game-winner midway through the third period. He was also named the ECAC Hockey Defender of the Week, the first weekly honor of his collegiate career.

Chloe Taylor claimed a win in the pole vault for the second-straight meet after clearing 3.90m (12-9.5 feet), a new personal best, on Saturday at the Dartmouth Relays. The mark places Taylor fourth all-time in program history in the event as well as fifth in the Ivy League this season.
