THIS WEEKEND
Having played five consecutive non-conference games, the Dartmouth women's hockey team will host ECAC Hockey rivals Union and RPI this weekend. With the men's team also playing at home, the times have been moved up: Friday's game will be at 3 p.m., while Saturday's will be played at 2:30 p.m.

LAST TIME OUT
Over the weekend, the Big Green played a pair of games against Maine, falling to the Black Bears by scores of 4-1 on both afternoons.

In the first game, Chloe Puddifant netted her second goal of the season, while Tess Bracken and Lotti Odnoga also ended the game with a point apiece. In net, Christine Honor made 20 saves before making way for Kayla Wormsbecher, who stopped five in the final 12 minutes of the third period.

The following day, Alyssa Baker was credited with Dartmouth's goal, while Odnoga and Christina Rombaut assisted. Wormsbecher played all 60 minutes, ending the game with 23 saves.

SCOUTING THE DUTCHWOMEN
Union enters Friday's game with an overall record of 2-10-2 and is winless in the conference with an 0-3-1 mark. The Dutchwomen last won on Oct. 20 against RIT (3-2) and, since then, have fallen to UConn (7-0), Clarkson (5-1), St. Lawrence (3-0), Yale (6-1) and Mercyhurst (5-2), while also tying Brown (2-2). Arianna Kosakowski leads the team in assists (4) and points (6), while Haley Shugart is first with four goals.

LAST TIME AGAINST UNION
The Big Green went 1-0-1 against the Dutchwomen in 2017-18.

On Jan. 5, Dartmouth had a 3-2 victory over Union at Messa Rink. Caroline Shaunessy netted the Green's second and third goals, while Rombaut opened scoring in the first period and assisted on the game-winning tally. Morgan Turner '18, Baker, Kate Landers and Sydney Hill all had an assist.

A month later (and for the second game in a row), Dartmouth went to overtime, tying Union, 2-2, on Senior Day. Baker scored the Big Green's first goal and Hailey Noronha '18 netted the second. Bracken, Landers and Linda Essery all had a point from an assist. Honor was huge in net, making 46 saves.

SCOUTING THE ENGINEERS
RPI will head into the weekend with a 4-7-4 overall record and a 2-2-0 mark in ECAC Hockey play. The Engineers have gone 2-4-2 in a busy November, defeating Yale (2-1) and Brown (1-0), falling to Penn State (4-0), Clarkson (3-0), St. Lawrence (5-0) and UNH (4-1), while also tying Penn State and UNH by scores of 1-1.

LAST TIME AGAINST RPI
The Big Green and the Engineers tied both of their games last season.

On Jan. 6, the teams skated to a 3-3 tie at the Houston Field House, thanks to a goal scored late in the third period by Essery. Baker and Rombaut led the team with two points, while Essery, Jennifer Costa, Megan Cornell, Noronha and Turner all had one point.

At home on Feb. 9, Dartmouth and RPI had a 1-1 tie at Thompson. Bracken netted her eighth goal of the season, while Cornell also ended the day with a point.

LEADING THE WAY
Bracken remains first on the team in goals (5) and points (7). The senior is also first with her two power play tallies. Odnoga leads the team with five assists and is tied for second with classmate Sara McClanahan with five points.
