THIS WEEKEND
Dartmouth men's lacrosse will head out for New York on Tuesday, taking on St. John's for just the second time in program history.

LAST TIME OUT
Dartmouth led from start to finish to defeat Binghamton by a score of 11-7 at Scully-Fahey Field on Saturday.

Matt Paul had a hat trick and added two assists to match his season-high of five points, while nine other players ended up with at least a point.

Goals by Ben Martin, Paul and a collegiate first for Colin Prince gave the Big Green (2-3) a 3-0 edge with 5:15 to go in the opening quarter. The Bearcats (0-6) were stopped multiple times by Daniel Hincks until they got one of their own with under two minutes to go to head to the second still down by two.

Binghamton netted its second tally 20 seconds into the second, but George Prince gave Dartmouth its two-goal advantage back a few minutes later with a man-up marker. It took another 10 minutes of back-and-forth play before Andrew Cave's first of his career put a little more distance between the teams (5-2).

Seven goals were netted in a 10-minute span to open the second half. After scoring twice within 30 seconds, the Bearcats got within one (6-5) but were kept out of the net for the remaining 6:52 of the third while Harlan Smart, G. Prince and Paul gave Dartmouth its first four-goal lead of the game (9-5).

After a Green goal was waved off at the start of the fourth, the Prince brothers responded to that by teaming up to put Dartmouth up by five, giving the younger Prince his second tally of the day. Back-to-back Binghamton goals got the Bearcats back in the game, but another Smart marker at 3:55 put a comeback out of reach for the visitors (11-7).

Hincks had a great game, making 15 saves to pick up his second win of the season. Kiernan Gunn took on all faceoff duties, going 13-for-21 at the X.

SCOUTING THE RED STORM
St. John's heads into the mid-week game with a 2-4 mark. The Red Storm are currently on a three-game losing streak after falling to Michigan (16-11), Siena (18-10) and Hofstra (9-7). Their last win was a 10-9 upset of No. 11/13 High Point on Feb. 23.

LAST TIME AGAINST ST. JOHN'S
March 17, 2018 – Paul provided a pair of goals for visiting Dartmouth, but St. John's jumped out to a 5-0 lead and kept the Big Green at arm's length en route to a 12-5 victory at DaSilva Field.

Jack Korzelius, G. Prince and Liam O'Connell each scored a goal, while Martin and Trevor Ballantyne had an assist apiece. In net, George Christopher made 12 saves.

LEADING THE WAY
Martin remains first in points (16), but Paul is right behind with 15 after his five-point game against Binghamton. Hincks leads the team in ground balls (21), while Gunn is first in faceoffs (31-for-67, .463) after a strong performance over the weekend.
