Storrs, Conn. - The UConn men's hockey team traveled to Hanover, N.H. for a nonconference match with Dartmouth and fell, 5-1. Freshman Jordan Sims (Fortwayne, Ind.) scored UConn's lone goal tonight. Sophomore goaltender Garrett Bartus (St. Charles, Ill.) made 36 stops in the losing effort. UConn drops to 7-10-3 on the season while Dartmouth, receiving votes in the latest polls, improves to 9-5-2.

The Connecticut defense was under pressure for most of the second period as well with Dartmouth forcing 17 saves out of Bartus in the middle stanza. The Big Green made it 2-0 at 18:56 with a goal from Alex Goodship.
Dartmouth added two goals in a 50 second stretch beginning at 15:31 of the third period to make it 4-0.
