TUESDAY'S GAME
The Dartmouth women's lacrosse team takes on cross-state rival New Hampshire Tuesday at 3 p.m. at Scully-Fahey Field.

WAIT… TUESDAY?
The contest against the Wildcats was originally scheduled for Wednesday but was moved up to Tuesday, Feb. 23 as to avoid inclement weather.

LAST TIME OUT
Dartmouth opened 2016 with a resounding 18-2 win at home against UMass Lowell on Saturday. The Big Green jumped out to a 12-2 first-half lead in their first-ever game against the River Hawks before shutting them out in the second frame, 6-0.

AGAINST THE WILDCATS
These two Granite State foes will meet for the first time in almost two years after last season's contest between the two was postponed and eventually canceled due to scheduling conflicts. The 2015 season marked the first time since 1999 that the Big Green and Wildcats didn't play one another.

SCOUTING UNH
The Wildcats come to Hanover with a 1-1 record so far in 2016. The year opened back on Feb. 13 with a 14-8 home win over Hofstra before they dropped a 16-4 game at UMass this past Saturday. Carly Wooters, Laura McHole and Catherine Sexton all sit atop UNH's scoring leaderboard with four points apiece. Wooters and Krissy Schafer both have a trio of goals to lead the 'Cats through two games. Kate Ciancy has been the goalie for all 120 minutes of play.

5 GETS YOU OVER 100
Senior co-captain Jaclyn Leto wasted almost no time in the opener against UML to go over 100 goals for her career. Coming into the season with 98 for her career, Leto scored five goals in the first half against the River Hawks to become just the 17th player in program history to reach triple digits in career goals.

MORE HAT TRICKS!
In addition to the five goals from Leto, Dartmouth also had hat tricks from sophomore Taryn Deck and junior Courtney Weisse in the win. Both finished with career highs in points as Deck notched five thanks to a pair of assists, while Weisse had four after dishing out a helper on an Ingrid Hermanson second-half goal.

DAY OF FIRSTS!
First-year players Elizabeth Mastrio, Campbell Brewer and Kathryn Giroux all scored the first goals of their collegiate careers in the UMass Lowell game. Giroux and Mastrio also added their first career assists as well as Giroux had one and Mastrio had three for a four-point effort in her first outing.

FROM ONE END OF THE SPECTRUM TO THE OTHER
Dartmouth and Lowell had never previously played before Saturday as the River Hawks are in just their second season of existence. However, the Big Green's next several opponents are mainstays on the schedule with Florida the newest member of that group despite playing Dartmouth in each of the last four seasons.

MILESTONE WATCH
Jaclyn Leto
– 122 Points (Needs 3 more to move into top-20 all-time at Dartmouth)
– 86 draw controls (4 more to tie for 10th all-time)
