THIS WEEKEND
Dartmouth travels to Providence to face Brown in its final regular season match of the season. Both teams will be looking to close the year on a high note.

LAST TIME OUT

The Big Green suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Cornell at Burnham Field last Saturday.
Zach Kalk scored the lone goal for Dartmouth, it was his third of the season and second in consecutive games.
The Big Red took a 1-0 advantage in the 13th minute when Brandon Morales scored with an assist from Brady Dickens.
Dartmouth evened the score in the 19th minute when Matthew Ranieri sent a cross to Kota Sakurai who touched it off to Kalk who beat the keeper.
An own goal put Cornell back on top in the 23rd minute and the Big Red extended their lead to 3-1 in the second half.

BREAKOUT PLAYER

Mothibi Penn-Kekana was recently named by New England Soccer Journal as one of 10 breakout players across the New England Division One landscape.
After playing in just 3 matches last season, Penn-Kekana has started in each game this year and leads the Big Green in minutes played.
The defender came away with a key tackle late against UMass to help the Big Green secure a 1-0 win. He was also instrumental on the back line in wins over Michigan State, Princeton and Penn.
Penn-Kekana has contributed offensively as well. He scored his first career goal against Niagara and picked up an assist in a win over Harvard.

SCOUTING BROWN

Brown comes into the final week of the season with a 3-9-4 record but are a competitive team in the Ivy League at 1-2-3 in the conference.
All but three losses for the Bears have come by one goal.
Brown plays a defensive game, having allowed 20 goals this season, the third fewest in the league.
Offense is where they have struggled with only 13 goals all year.
Matthew Chow leads the team with three goals and is tied for the lead with two assists.
Derek Waleffe is second on the team with two goals.
Eight other members of the Bears have one goal each.

AGAINST THE BEARS

This will be the 79th meeting between the teams and Brown holds a 38-35-5 record in a tight all-time series.
The Big Green have won three straight, having shutout Brown in all those matches, outscoring the Bears, 7-0 in that time.
