FINAL HOME MATCH
The Big Green play their final home match of the season on Saturday against Cornell. The Big Red are a dangerous team and have come away with some hard-fought results against strong competition.

SENIOR DAY
Dartmouth will celebrate its seven seniors at the conclusion of the match. Jesse Scanlon, Will Chisholm, Henry Stusnick, Braden Salvati, Zach Kalk, Henry Baldwin and team manager JoJo Boyle will be honored.

LAST TIME OUT

The Big Green earned a much-needed, 3-1, road victory against Harvard last Saturday.
Both Patrick Murphy and Ohad Yahalom scored their first career goals, while Zach Kalk picked up the second of his career.
Yahalom also added an assist for a three-point night. David Alino, Braden Salvati and Mothibi Penn-Kekana had assists as well.
Alex Budnik was impressive with six saves, five of which came in the second half.
Murphy scored in the third minute, Kalk found the back of the net in the 45th minute and Yahalom got his goal in the 51st minute.

TWO GAMES LEFT

With the Big Green's win last weekend, they are now in sole possession of second place in the Ivy standings behind Yale with 10 points and a 3-1-1 record.
The Bulldogs are in first with 12 points and a 4-1-0 record.
If Dartmouth wins its final two matches against Cornell and Brown and Yale loses one of its final two against Brown and Princeton, the Big Green will be Ivy League champion.

SCOUTING CORNELL

The Big Red are eliminated from claiming the Ivy championship, but they are a talented team that can sneak up on anybody.
Cornell is 8-5-2 and 1-2-2 in the conference with its win over Harvard and draws against Brown and Princeton.
The Big Red are undefeated at home but are 3-5-1 away from Ithaca.
Cornell is third in the league with 25 goals.
Harry Fuller leads the team with four goals and three assists for 11 points.
Emeka Eneli, John Scearce and Vardhin Manoj each have three goals.
Griffin Garrard, Brady Dickens and Ryan Bayne have two on the year.

AGAINST THE BIG RED

This will be the 73rd meeting between the teams and Dartmouth holds a 39-28-5 advantage over Cornell.
The Big Green have dominated since 2000 with a 14-4-1 record.
Dartmouth has won the last five meetings and have only allowed Cornell to score once since 2014.
Last season in Ithaca, the Big Green won 2-1 in overtime. Braden Salvati tied the match in the 47th minute and Eduvie Ikoba sent home the game-winner in the 96th minute.
