Yale hits free throws to beat Dartmouth

HANOVER, N.H. (AP) - Austin Morgan scored 17 points, hitting all 12 of his free-throw attempts, as Yale defeated Dartmouth 70-61 Friday night to sweep the season series and keep the Big Green winless in the Ivy League.

The Bulldogs (17-6, 7-2), who have won five of their last six, hit 30 of 33 from the line (90.9 percent) to offset 38.9 percent shooting from the field (19 of 49).

Dartmouth shot 40.4 percent (23 of 57), but made only 15 of 22 foul shots.

Yale led 30-24 at the break and by as many as 15 in the second half. The Big Green trimmed the deficit to 60-56 with 2:43 left, but could get no closer.

Greg Mangano added 16 points for Yale.

Freshman Gabas Maldunas scored a career-high 23 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for Dartmouth (4-21, 0-9), which has lost eight in a row, including 62-52 to Yale on Jan. 28.
