CELEBRATING THE NEW YEAR
Dartmouth has two more games to play before wrapping up its non-conference schedule and the start of the new year. The Big Green first take on Boston College in Chestnut Hill on Saturday and then face Binghamton at home on Monday.

GRANITE STATE CHAMPS

Dartmouth took care of New Hampshire for the second straight year, defeating the Wildcats, 62-42.
Annie McKenna's 3-pointer with 7:34 in the first put the Big Green ahead 6-5 and Dartmouth never trailed from then on.
McKenna led the way with a career-high 21 points on 8-13 shooting and 3-5 from long distance.
Cy Lippold was also in double figures with 11 points to go along with five assists and four rebounds.
Paula Lenart finished with nine points and five rebounds, while Kealy Brown had five points and a game-high five steals and Anna Luce pulled down a game-high 10 rebounds.
The 42 points allowed was tied for the second-fewest that Dartmouth has given up this season.

SECOND MONTH

The Big Green have fared well in the second month of the season, going 4-2 so far and are currently winners of their last four out of five games.
This is compared to a 2-4 month of November where Dartmouth won its first two games, but then dropped its next four.
A big help has been the five home games in the month of December which is the most amount of games played at Leede Arena during any month this season.

SCOUTING BOSTON COLLEGE

BC has seen one Ivy League team in Columbia and the Eagles won, 74-60.
The two losses this season have come against Providence (61-57) and Minnesota (77-69).
BC is averaging 79.3 ppg which is fourth in the ACC and they are allowing 58.3 ppg which is also fourth in its conference.
The Eagles are led by Emma Guy who leads the team with 13 ppg and 7.7 ppg.
Three others average double-figures, they are Marnelle Garraud (12.3 ppg), Makayla Dickens (10-3 ppg) and Taylor Ortlepp (10.2 ppg).
BC brought in an all new coaching staff this season led by head coach Joanna Bernabei-McNamee who was previously at Albany.

LAST TIME AGAINST THE EAGLES

Dartmouth picked up its first-ever win over Boston College and first win over an ACC team when the Big Green defeated the Eagles, 68-57, last season.
Five members of the Big Green scored in double figures led by Cy Lippold who came away with 16 points and four assists, she shot 5-9 from the field and 2-2 from 3-point range.
Kate Letkewicz finished with 13 points and led all players with nine rebounds.
Emily Slagle had 12 points and four rebounds, while Olivia Smith tallied 11 points and six rebounds and Isalys Quinones finished with 10 points and seven rebounds.
