In a recent matchup, the Dartmouth Big Green triumphed over Princeton Tigers with a score of 76-61, a victory fueled by the outstanding performance of Ryan Cornish, who netted 19 points for his team.
Cornish was not just a scoring threat; he also contributed significantly by grabbing seven rebounds and dishing out six assists, showcasing a well-rounded game. The Big Green improved their record to 13 wins and 11 losses overall, with a 7-4 standing in the Ivy League.
Supporting Cornish in this success were a couple of key players. Brandon Mitchell-Day played a pivotal role, scoring 15 points on an efficient 6-of-11 shooting from the field, and he recorded a double-double with 10 rebounds. Additionally, Jackson Munro added to the team’s offense, finishing the night with 12 points while shooting an impressive 6-of-8.
On the opposing side, Princeton’s offense was anchored by Xaivian Lee, who led all scorers with an impressive 24 points, alongside eight rebounds and two blocks in a strong overall performance. Dalen Davis contributed 14 points to the Tigers’ effort, while Jackson Hicke chipped in with 10 points and six rebounds, but it wasn’t enough to secure a win. Princeton’s record now stands at 17 wins and 9 losses, with a 6-5 mark in the Ivy League.
Looking ahead, both Dartmouth and Princeton will return to action on Friday. Dartmouth will welcome Yale to their home court, while Princeton will hit the road to face Columbia, with both teams eager to build on their current performances.
