THIS WEEKEND
Dartmouth volleyball is coming off a 2-0 home weekend and will look to continue with its winning ways when it welcomes Yale and Brown to Leede Arena.

LAST TIME OUT
Last weekend, the Big Green defeated Harvard in straight sets (25-22, 25-19, 32-30). Not only was this the first time since 2011 that the Big Green have defeated the Crimson twice in one season, but it is also the first time since 2009 that Dartmouth has beat Harvard in straight sets. The next day, the Green had a 3-1 defeat of New Hampshire (21-25, 25-20, 25-14, 25-23).

Makenzie Arent recorded six kills, 62 assists, one ace, 26 digs and two total blocks throughout the weekend. She had double-doubles in both matches and was named Ivy League Rookie of the Week for the third time this season.
Grace Wiczek totaled a team-leading 30 kills, 32 points and .367 hitting percentage. She also recorded seven digs and four total blocks. She had a career-high 18 kills and .552 hitting percentage in the win over Harvard.
Francesca Meldrum ended the weekend second with 15 kills, 10 total blocks and 23.5 points. She also registered two aces and four digs.
Elise Petit had a total of 14 kills, two aces, 18 digs, five total blocks and 19.5 points. She had season-high digs (14), points (14) and aces (2) against UNH.

SCOUTING THE BULLDOGS
Yale remains in a three-way tie for first place with Cornell and Princeton with a conference record of 7-1. The Bulldogs' lone loss came in straight sets against Princeton two weeks ago and, since then, Yale has defeated Columbia, Cornel and Brown.

LAST TIME AGAINST YALE
Earlier this month, the Big Green had a 3-1 loss to the Bulldogs (15-25, 25-23, 15-25, 19-25).

Even though Dartmouth did not come away with the win, it did end Yale's 19-set unbeaten streak, which spanned six matches.

Carly Tower led the way with 11 kills and 12 points, while Arent was first with 17 assists and Nicole Liddle had a team-leading 12 digs.

SCOUTING THE BEARS
Brown had a 1-1 weekend at home, defeating Columbia by a score of 3-1 and dropping a 3-0 match to Yale the next day.

LAST TIME AGAINST BROWN
On Oct. 4, the Green had a 3-1 loss to the Bears (25-13, 14-25, 17-25, 18-25),

Arent had another double-double with 17 assists and 15 digs. Liddle was first with 11 kills, while Meldrum was close behind with 10 kills and led with five total blocks and 13 points.
