He scored 15 points (1g, 14a) as a sophomore, finishing second on the team in scoring among defensemen. Poulton was named the ECAC/Bauer Player of the Week (12/29) after assisting on five of the 10 Dartmouth goals scored in the Sheraton/USAirways Classic. In an 8-1 victory against Union (2/20), he assisted on three Big Green goals -- the third time he has recorded a playmaker in his career.
