Hesová and Amundsen Named The Richards Group Athletes of the Week

HANOVER, N.H.-- Michaela Hesová of Dartmouth women's hockey and Connor Amundsen of men's basketball have been named The Richards Group Athletes of the Week.

Each week, DartmouthSports.com will spotlight two outstanding student-athletes – one male athlete or team, one female athlete or team– as Athletes of the Week.

Michaela Hesová, So., Prague, Czech Republic, Women's Hockey

Michaela Hesová was dominant between the pipes this weekend for the Big Green, building on an exciting week that saw her named to Team Czechia ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina, Italy. In two games, Hesová posted a .962 save percentage and a 1.50 goals against average, notching 77 total saves across the two games. She tallied 37 on Friday night vs. the #14/#13 Yale Bulldogs before tallying 40 saves through regulation and overtime against the Brown Bears. Hesová then stopped all seven Bears' shootout attempts to secure the shutout and the shootout win for the Big Green.

Connor Amundsen, Sophomore, Fresno, Calif., Men's Basketball

Connor Amundsen played a major role in Dartmouth's 76-68 win at Harvard, recording 18 points and four rebounds/assists. He then went on to have a historic performance in Dartmouth's 102-91 win over Cornell with his first career double-double (23 points, 10 assists). Amundsen became the first Dartmouth athlete to have a points-assists double-double since Brendan Barry at Notre Dame in December 2017. Additionally, he became the second Ivy League player with a 20-point, 10-assist double-double this season.
