THIS WEEKEND'S GAME
The Dartmouth women's basketball team returns home for the first time in nearly a month to host rival Harvard at 6 p.m. on Saturday.
SCOUTING THE CRIMSON
Harvard enters the weekend with the best overall record in the Ancient Eight with 13 wins and one loss. The Crimson's lone loss came on the first game of the season at Minnesota and since then Harvard has won 13 straight. Freshman Katie Benzan currently leads the team with 12.4 points per game and is first in the Ivy League, shooting nearly 50 percent from beyond the arc. Senior Destiny Nunley also contributes 12.2 points and 6.6 rebounds per game for the Crimson.
LAST TIME AGAINST HARVARD
On Jan. 7, 2017, the Big Green hung with Harvard for the entire game, but eventually fell to the Crimson, 70-65 in Cambridge in the Ivy League opener. Fanni Szabo led her team with 16 points in a solid performance for the lone Dartmouth senior. Kate Letkewicz and Isalys Quinones each added 12 points in one of the Big Green's best offensive performances of the 2016-17 campaign. The Big Green found themselves down 9-0 early to a Crimson team that has not lost since their first game of the season. However, Dartmouth punched right back toward the end of the first quarter with a 7-0 run that extended into the opening minutes of the second. In a whirlwind sequence, the team's traded baskets that tied the score four times toward the end of the second stanza, but the Crimson came out on top, taking a 38-35 lead into the locker room at the break. After halftime, the Big Green came storming back into the contest with an 11-3 run that put Dartmouth ahead 52-47. During this run, Szabo scored seven of her 16 points, setting up the exciting final quarter.
GETTING IT DONE AT THE CHARITY STRIPE
The Big Green have been a solid free throw shooting team for the majority of the season. Currently Dartmouth is second in the Ancient Eight behind Columbia, shooting 73 percent from the line.
NOT COLD AS ICE
Quiñones has performed well for Dartmouth in her new role as a starter. The 6-3 forward has started all 14 games this season and has recorded three double doubles, most recently scoring 10 points and with 13 rebounds in the Big Green's OT win over Albany. She averages 9.3 points and 6.4 boards per game.
REWRITING THE RECORD BOOKS
The Big Green's lone senior, Szabo has been climbing on some of Dartmouth's all-time records lists. With 1,125 career points, Szabo is in sole possession of 14th in the all-time scoring category. She is also sixth in both three-point field goals made and attempted. Letkewicz has also risen to ninth in three-point field goals, making 100 career shots from beyond the arc.
FINISHING STRONG
Despite facing some trouble in the first quarter of games this season, the Big Green have averaged 14.4 points in the fourth quarter. Dartmouth also holds a slight edge in the second quarter of games in the 2016-17 campaign.
