AIC Powers Over Dartmouth
AIC Powers Over Dartmouth
American International College won over Dartmotuh in convincing fashion Saturday, beating the top Ivy League team 79-14 in a non-conference clash between the two.
AIC scored early, when in the 3rd minute Gavan D'Amore-Morrison won a lineout and, when Dartmouth didn't contest the maul, just went straight through. The lineout featured in the next try, too, as No. 8 Matthew Jones stole a lineout and the ball was sent quickly out to fullback Lui Sitama. Moments later, prop Jamal Hadley was in support of flyhalf Jihad Khabir and got the pass to trundle over.
Dartmouth exploited a penalty against AIC for hitting the man in the air to score the Big Green's first try of the day, But AIC replied, send it wide to Christian Adams for one score, and then stealing a Dartmouth scrum put-in and setting up D'Amore-Morrison for his second.
Hadley got his second off a maul, and then center Adrian Ray crashed over from a scrum and it was 41-7 after 40 minutes.
The second half of the game was more of the same. Adams was on the end of some good handling after AIC got a turnover, and the winger then powered over a tackler for another long-range run, and the former HS All American's third.
The Yellow Jackets got tries from Deshae Edwards and two from Khabir before Adams scored his fourth, chasing down his own kick this time. Dartmouth scored at the final whistle.
It was a dominant performance by an AIC team that looks in very good position to work thier way through a tough ECRC conference this season.
