Men’s Hockey Takes Game One over Garnet Chargers, 3-1

HANOVER, N.H. – The Dartmouth men’s hockey team scored three goals in the second period en route to a 3-1 victory over Union on Friday evening in game one of the ECAC Hockey quarterfinals. Braiden Dorfman, Matt Fusco and Joey Musa each lit the lamp while Cam MacDonald had a multi-point night with two assists.
 
Dartmouth improves to 12-9-9 while Union drops to 16-17-3.
 
Speaking about scoring three goals in the second period, Koenig Family Head Coach Reid Cashman said, “We found a way to possess in the o-zone and we were able to get some line changes in the offensive zone. We did a good job of delivering pucks and have multiple options around there. Our guys really stuck with it, found a way to score three and set ourselves up for the third period.”
 
Facing a 1-0 deficit, the Big Green scored two goals inside the first seven minutes of the middle frame to take a 2-1 lead. Dorfman tied the game just 33 seconds into the second period after redirecting an Eric Charpentier shot from the blue line.
 
Matt Fusco put Dartmouth in the lead five minutes later during a 4v4 sequence. Fusco forced a turnover in the Big Green defensive zone and played a give-and-go with Cam MacDonald in a 2-on-0 situation and had the tap in at the back post for his second goal of the season.
