Dartmouth hosts the two-time defending Ivy League champion Princeton Tigers Saturday afternoon. Princeton was chosen to win the conference in the preseason poll and has played a difficult schedule so far this season. There will also be free bacon and ice cream for all fans.

LAST TIME OUT

The Big Green took on Brown on the road Saturday night and battled, but ended up falling to the Bears, 2-1.
The loss snapped a five-game shutout streak for Dartmouth, which was the longest streak since the 2006 team had a clean sheet in nine consecutive matches.
Brown struck first in the sixth minute after a free kick set the ball free in front of the Big Green net, allowing Abby Carchio to score.
Erin Kawakami evened the score at one in the 35th minute on a deep shot from straight on off an assist from Izzy Glennon.
The Bears sent home the game winner in the 56th minute on a goal by Star White after a corner kick.
