The Big Green represented Dartmouth College, played their home games at the Thompson Arena and were coached by Reid Cashman in his 3rd season.

Though a relatively low-scoring team, the Big Green saw a vast improvement by their defense and, perhaps more importantly, their starting goaltender Cooper Black.

Beginning with the match against Rensselaer on January 20, he ran roughshod over ECAC defenses and scored 24 points (14 goals 10 assists) in the final 12 games of the regular season.

The week off appeared to end Haymes' hot streak but the rest of the team picked up the pace and ensured that Dartmouth had enough scoring to dispatch Union in straight sets.

In desperation, Cooper Black was pulled for an extra attacker but that only allowed Cornell to score twice into an empty net to turn the match into a rout.
