New Haven, Conn. — Carl Hesler needed less than three minutes to put the Dartmouth College men’s hockey team in the lead and goaltender Adrian Clark made it stick as the Big Green blanked Yale, 3-0, on Saturday night at Ingalls Rink in an ECAC Hockey contest.

Dartmouth coach Bob Gaudet matched the program record for career wins (308) with the victory.

Hesler finished a Drew O’Connor pass just 2:43 into the contest for the only goal the Big Green (3-2-0) would need. Clark recorded 31 saves for the clean sheet, which Dartmouth backed with a pair of late empty-net goals from Will Graber and Quin Foreman.

Dartmouth hosts Vermont on Nov. 24.
