PYEONGCHANG, South Korea -- An Olympic-best finish for United States cross-country skiing headlined Ivy achievements on Saturday, Feb. 17, in PyeongChang.

Dartmouth skiing product Sophie Caldwell was part of the United States cross-country skiing squad that finished fifth in the 4x5km relay—an Olympic-best for the women—with a time of 52:44.8.
 
Cornell men’s ice hockey alum Ben Scrivens allowed three goals in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Czech Republic. Canada (four points) now sits second in Group A behind the Czechs (five points), heading into their final group game against South Korea.
