This Time Out: It's a critical Ivy matchup for both teams in Philadelphia this weekend, as Dartmouth looks to improve on its 2-1 standing and Penn (1-2) hopes to stave off elimination from the Ivy race. Dartmouth needs to shake off a tough 2-0 loss at Yale in which it dominated the second half but could not find the back of the net. The Quakers have had their ups and downs, winning several non-league games by large margins, but eking past Cornell, 2-1, and falling to Harvard, 3-2 and Columbia, 4-2. In the Ivy race, Yale and Harvard sit at 2-0 each after their Oct. 3 game was called at halftime due to lightning with a rematch scheduled for Oct. 20. Columbia is also 2-1 heading into a showdown at 1-2 Princeton on Saturday. Click here for full Ivy League standings.

Last Time Out: Dartmouth had a busy weekend with games on both Oct. 9 and Oct. 11. The Big Green shook off its tough loss at Yale with a home win over instate rival New Hampshire on Sunday. Yale picked up two goals just a minute apart midway through the first half, capitalizing on some defensive miscues by the Big Green. With the 2-0 lead, the Bulldogs were able to hunker down defensively in the second half, during which Dartmouth held possession nearly the entire time. The Green ultimately held a 14-8 shot advantage but could not score a goal. On Sunday, head coach Angie Hind utilized her full bench in a team effort to defeat UNH, 2-1. Dartmouth scored a goal in each half and had the game in hand despite a late Wildcat goal and offensive flurry. Rookie Libby Hamlin (Vernon, Conn.) scored her first collegiate goal off a thru ball from sophomore Ally Dutton (Granite Bay, Calif.), who played well in both games on the weekend. Senior Kelsey Quick (Bernardsville, N.J.) netted the game-winner with a long bomb after taking a pass from classmate Ali Hubbard (Marshfield, Mass.).
