Women's Soccer Back at Home to Host Ivy Foe Princeton

Dartmouth Women's Soccer (4-4, 1-0 Ivy) This Week:

Game 9: Dartmouth (4-4, 1-0 Ivy) vs. Princeton (3-5-1, 0-1 Ivy)
Date: Saturday, Oct. 3 at 4:00 PM
Location: Burnham Field, Hanover, N.H.
Admission: Adults $6; Youth 14 & Under $3
Series Record: Princeton leads, 15-13-1.
The Tigers hold the edge in the all-time series having taken two straight from the Big Green, 2-1 in 2008 and 1-0 in 2007. Dartmouth's last victory came in 2006, when current senior Myra Sack (Wynnewood, Pa.) picked up the assist on Emily Tracy's '07 game-winner. Dartmouth enjoyed quite a streak in the series, winning eight in a row from 1991-98, six in shutout fashion.

This Time Out: The Big Green is finally back at Burnham Field for the first time since Sept. 6 and will play five of its next nine games at home. Defending Ivy Champ Princeton comes to town after falling to Yale in its Ivy opener, but the Tigers and Big Green have a tradition of hard-fought battles on the pitch. There were no ties on the opening weekend of Ivy play, so the four winners from last week will look to get a leg up in the Ivy race this weekend.

Last Time Out: Dartmouth had a 1-1 week, rebounding from an overtime loss at Boston University with a win at Brown. At Boston midweek, the teams played to overtime for the sixth time in the last seven meetings, with the Terriers snagging the 2-1 victory three minutes into the extra period. Sophomore Aly O'Dea (Irvine, Calif.) scored the Big Green's lone goal in the first half off a feed from senior Becky Poskin (Leawood, Kan.).

Dartmouth put the lost behind it with a big Ivy win at Brown on Sunday, 3-1. The Big Green dominated the Bears, outshooting them 26-8, putting 12 shots on goal. It marked the sixth-straight road game for Dartmouth, which ended nearly a month away in fine fashion. The balanced offense continued to shine, with O'Dea, Kelsey Quick (Bernardsville, N.J.) and Peyton Tata (Virginia Beach, Va.) each contributing a goal in the win.

Save the Date: On Sunday, Oct. 11 vs. UNH, Dartmouth will host "Soccer Without Borders" day to benefit a cause very close to the Big Green's hearts. Information will be available about the non-profit organization, which uses soccer as a vehicle for positive change in the lives of marginalized youth. About 30 minutes after the game, the Dartmouth coaches and players will host a skills clinic for youth of all ages with a suggested donation of $10-20 to benefit Soccer Without Borders. Donations of $20 or more will receive a commemorative t-shirt. Please make plans to join us in supporting this great cause!

Next Time Out: Dartmouth has a full weekend on tap, starting with an Ivy matchup at Yale on Friday, Oct. 9 at 7 p.m. Back at home, New Hampshire comes to Burnham for a matinee at 2 p.m. on Oct. 11.
