The team won 21 games and lost 2, while Rondeau led the nation in scoring with 45 goals and 32 assists.
Dartmouth would go on to win 41 straight games over a 4-year period.
Rondeau captained the 1943 team as well, and also served as coach when Coach Eddie Jeremiah entered the Navy in mid-season.
He was captain again in 1944.
Over his four-year college career Rondeau shattered nearly all of the school's scoring records, tallying 103 goals and 73 assists for an average 4.4 points per game.
