LAST TIME OUT
Dartmouth is coming off a 59-41 loss to Maine at home on Sunday. Senior Lakin Roland led the Green with 19 points and nine rebounds. In what was a low scoring first half, the Black Bears took a 26-12 lead into the locker room at the break. In the third, Dartmouth played one of it's best quarters of the season, outscoring Maine 21-12 thanks in part to a dominate performance by Roland. The final stanza did not go the way the Big Green had hoped for after the Black Bears expanded their lead for good en route to the win.
