THIS WEEKEND
Dartmouth volleyball will conclude tournament play this weekend by competing in two. On Friday, the Big Green will take on Seton Hall and Hofstra at the Hofstra Asics Invitational, and on Saturday, will face St. Francis (Brooklyn) and Fordham at the Battle of the Big Apple.

LAST TIME OUT
The Green finished in second place at last weekend's Dartmouth Invitational after taking down Siena (25-23, 25-16, 25-18) and Lafayette (25-16, 25-22, 25-17) and falling to eventual winner Boston College (19-25, 20-25, 20-25).

Francesca Meldrum and Nicole Liddle were named all-tournament at the conclusion.

In addition, Meldrum was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week after being first on the team with a .388 hitting percentage, 24 kills (2.67/set), five service aces and 14 total blocks (1.56/set) for a total of 37.0 points. Liddle (18 kills, three aces, 21 digs, four total blocks, 23 points) and Tola Akinwumi (13 kills, 12 total blocks, 20.5 points) were named to the honor roll.

In addition, Annemarie Horn led the team with 51 assists and Zoe Leonard was first with 38 digs.
