NEW HAVEN, Conn. \u2013 The line of Shane Sellar, Will Graber, and Quin Foreman was virtually unstoppable for Dartmouth Friday night at Yale.<\/span><\/p>\n

The trio combined for four goals, including Foreman\u2019s first career hat trick, as the Big Green rolled to 6-4 win over the Bulldogs at Ingalls Rink. <\/span><\/p>\n

With the win, Dartmouth clinched fifth place in ECAC Hockey and a home series in the first round of the league playoffs. The Big Green lead sixth-place Colgate by two points, but own the tiebreaker over the Raiders due to more conference wins. \u00a0The loss dropped Yale into ninth place, one point out of home ice. <\/span><\/p>\n

Foreman added an assist to give him a four-point night, while Sellar (one goal, two assists) and Graber (three assists) also had multi-point nights, and goalie Devin Buffalo made 31 saves for the win. <\/span><\/p>\n

Joe Snively had two goals and two assists for Yale, while Ryan Hitchcock added a goal and an assist. Snively\u2019s three-point night pushed him over the 100-point mark for his Yale career. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTonight was one of those nights where every loose puck seemed to find our sticks,\u201d Foreman said. \u201cOver time, [our chemistry] has developed. We\u2019ve been together since early December now. The first few weeks it was a little rough, but over the last three weeks it\u2019s just all come together.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Outside of the trio\u2019s offensive talents, Dartmouth coach Bob Gaudet said the three underclassmen play an intelligent game and are reliable defensively. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re really strong on the puck but they\u2019re smart hockey players,\u201d Gaudet said. \u201cThey really know where to put the puck; they know when to put the puck in deep and they know when to make a play. These guys are excellent defensive players, but are excellent offensive players too; it\u2019s a pretty good combination.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

While the Big Green\u2019s top line dominated the scoring most of the game, Clay Han\u2019s first goal of the season early in the second period might have been the biggest of the night for Dartmouth.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Big Green led Yale 3-2, but the Bulldogs had several chances to tie it in the opening minutes of the period. Buffalo stopped Snively on a partial breakaway, and then slid across the crease to deny Brett Jewell\u2019s attempt. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dartmouth (13-13-2, 11-9-1) regrouped and scored when Han ripped a shot from the top of the left circle to make it 4-2. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a big, big goal for us,\u201d Gaudet said. \u201cThat was a great play by Clay to finish that. They were coming. At 3-2, they\u2019re a shot away from tying it up and now we go up by two.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Foreman completed the hat trick later in the period, backhanding a rebound into the net at 11:25. That marked the end of the night for Yale goalie Sam Tucker, who was replaced by Corbin Kaczperski after allowing five goals on eleven shots. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe reason we lost tonight is because we didn\u2019t defend well,\u201d Bulldogs coach Keith Allain said. \u201cIndividual mistakes, those things happen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It was Allain\u2019s first game back with Yale after spending the last several weeks with Team USA at the Winter Olympics in South Korea. Allain said he got home at 4 p.m. Friday and hadn\u2019t slept in 36 hours. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great group of guys and a really fun coaching staff to work with,\u201d Allain said of his Olympics experience. The United States was knocked out of the competition with a shootout loss to Czechoslovakia earlier in the week. <\/span><\/p>\n

Alex Jasiek\u2019s power-play goal put Dartmouth up 6-2 14:37 into the second. \u00a0Hitchcock scored early in the third to make it 6-3, but the Bulldogs couldn\u2019t convert a big chance later in the period. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Back-to-back penalties against the Big Green gave Yale 1:53 on a five-one-three power play midway through the third. Allain pulled l Kaczperski for the extra skater, but Yale couldn\u2019t score despite numerous chances, including a Snively shot that rang off the crossbar. <\/span><\/p>\n

The trio of Kevan Kilistoff, Brendan Demler, and River Rymsha killed off the majority of the penalty, as Yale (14-13-1, 9-11-1) held the puck in Dartmouth\u2019s zone. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was great to have our captain back,\u201d Gaudet said of Kilistoff, who hadn\u2019t played since Jan. 20. \u201cThose are the type of things he does that does. It\u2019s unnoticed because a lot of times because it\u2019s not going to end up on the scoresheet as much.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Snively scored second goal of the night on a power play 13:43 into the third to make it 6-4, but that was as close as Yale would get. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dartmouth led 3-0 midway through the opening period, but Yale scored twice in the closing minutes to make it 3-2. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sellar started the scoring, putting a rebound past Tucker to make it 1-0 Big Green at 6:13 in the first. <\/span><\/p>\n

Foreman took advantage of a Yale turnover in front of the Bulldog net to give Dartmouth a 2-0 lead at 10:12. Foreman scored again just over a minute later, but a Phil Kemp blast from the point and a Snively one-timer pulled Yale to within one goal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think we had some good coaching adjustments, especially in the neutral zone, that kind of shut down a few of their top guys,\u201d Foreman said. <\/span><\/p>\n
