Sharp-shooting Dartmouth knocks off Boston College

Cade Haskins hit six of Dartmouth's 17 3-pointers to account for all 18 of his points as the Big Green stunned Boston College and came away with an 88-83 win on Friday afternoon in Chestnut Hill, Mass.

Jayden Williams added five triples and also finished with 18 points for the Big Green (3-3), who went 17-for-31 from deep as a team (54.8 percent). Ryan Cornish joined Haskins and Williams with 18 points, Brandon Mitchell-Day went for 14 and Connor Amundsen supplied 11.

Haskins flirted with a double-double by pulling down a team-high eight rebounds.

Joshua Beadle poured in 19 points as the Eagles (6-2) had a five-game winning streak come to an end. Elijah Strong paired 18 points with five boards, and Chad Venning recorded 17 points.

Boston College was in an eight-point hole with 2:27 left in the game but used an 8-2 run to pull within 84-82 with 34 seconds remaining. However, Mitchell-Day and Cornish sank two free throws apiece to put the finishing touches on the win.

The Eagles went 0-for-10 from distance following intermission.

Shortly after scoring the first five points of the second half to build a 49-42 advantage, Boston College watched the Big Green score at will from beyond the arc. Dartmouth made good on five 3-pointers in a span of 5:47 to jump in front 63-55.

The Eagles cut their deficit to four before Mitchell-Day drilled a 3 and Cornish converted a three-point play to make it 69-59 with 9:24 to play.

Haskins knocked down a pair of 3-pointers during an 11-3 run that gave the Big Green a 16-12 lead with 13:57 left in the first half.

Another triple from Haskins had Dartmouth up by seven, 25-18, with 9:54 to go in the period, but the Eagles then took over.

Boston College scored 19 of the next 24 points, getting nine from Venning and five from Beadle during that stretch. The Big Green responded with a 6-0 spurt to pull within 37-36, and neither team led by more than three over the closing moments of the first half.

Beadle sank a trey at the buzzer to send the Eagles into the break with a 44-42 edge.
