Time is running out on the regular season, with just one week remaining between now and the NCAA tournament. 

Over the past week, a number of players delivered in the clutch to keep tournament hopes alive, none more so than Player of the Week, Dartmouth’s Corey Delaney.

Playing at home against defending champions Harvard, a loss or draw would see the Crimson crowned champions, while a win would keep the Big Green’s hopes alives. Delaney delivered, scoring twice in a 2-0 win.
