SATURDAY'S GAME
The Dartmouth women's lacrosse team will play its biggest game of the season to date on Saturday when it plays host to Princeton at Scully-Fahey Field at 1 p.m.
LAST TIME OUT
•   The Big Green are coming off their sixth straight win thanks to an 18-9 victory Tuesday against UConn.
•   A season-high 10 different players scored goals for Dartmouth, eclipsing the mark of eight that had been reached four other times. In total, 12 players notched points for the home team, another season high.
•   Katie Bourque's four goals led the way on the most balanced scoring day of the season, while Elizabeth Mastrio finished with six points thanks to three goals and a trio of assists.
•   Adrie Luster scored the final goal of the day, her first collegiate marker.
•   Michelle Yu netted her first two goals of the season.
•   Kathryn Giroux had 11 draw controls in the game, her 15th career game of double-digit draws.
SCOUTING PRINCETON
•   The Tigers are 6-3 overall this season, while 1-1 in Ivy play after a surprising loss to Brown at home on March 23.
•   A 15-6 home win over Villanova on Tuesday snapped a two-game skid after a road loss at No. 2 Maryland (15-7) followed the Brown defeat.
•   Elizabeth George leads the team with 42 points and 28 goals, while Kyla Sears' 15 assists are the most on the roster. Sears is right behind George in scoring with 40 points.
•   Sam Fish has played in 522 minutes this season and boasts a .474 save percentage and a 10.35 goals against average.
AGAINST THE TIGERS
•   Saturday marks the 47th all-time meeting between the two programs with Princeton holding a 27-19 edge.
•   However, Dartmouth came away with the 15-12 win last season in New Jersey, snapping a four-game losing streak at the paws of Princeton dating back through the 2014 season.
•   Last year's result was the Big Green's first in the series on the road since the 2008 campaign.
•   Mastrio scored five times and had six points (a career high she tied this past Tuesday against UConn). Kierra Sweeney had three goals, while Sophia Turchetta and Tori Chanenchuk each had two.
A FAMILY DIVIDED… NO MORE!
•   The Chanenchuk family will no longer have to pick sides in the annual Princeton/Dartmouth battle in women's lacrosse.
•   The full weight and support of the family now lies with the Big Green's Tori after sister Colby graduated from Princeton after last season.
•   Each sister won once against the other in the two years of overlap in their playing careers with Tori getting the last laugh thanks to last season's result.
AWARDS SEASON… THIS WEEK
•   For the third straight week, the Ivy League's top defender resides in Hanover as goalkeeper Kiera Vrindten was tabbed as the Defensive Player of the Week on Monday.
•   Kathryn Giroux and Claire Marshall had earned the distinction in each of the previous two weeks.
•   For her play against Hofstra and Harvard last week, Mastrio was tabbed as the Cape Air Dartmouth Sports Female Athlete of the Week.
A LOOK AROUND THE LEAGUE
•   Dartmouth is atop the standings at 3-0 right now with Penn in second thanks to a 2-0 mark with a game in hand.
•   Cornell and Brown are 2-1 with Princeton having a game in hand on both and a 1-1 mark. However, thanks to that loss, the Tigers do not own the tiebreaker with the Bears.
•   Harvard is 1-2, while Yale and Columbia are both winless in three Ivy games.
•   The Big Green travel to Philadelphia next week for a showdown with the Quakers.
MEETING OF THE TOP
•   Saturday will also mark a meeting of arguably the league's top goalkeepers.
•   Kiera Vrindten was the 2018 Ivy League Goalkeeper of the Year and a member of the first team.
•   Princeton's Fish was the goalkeeper on the All-Ivy League Second Team last spring.
FACTS AND FIGURES
•   Saturday marks a matchup of the top-two scoring teams in the league this season with top-ranked Dartmouth (15.8) and second-place Princeton (14.0). In conference games, the Green are still at the top (17.0) with the Tigers (15.0) two goals back.
•   Here's how these two rank in several categories in 2019 (national rank):
•   Goals per game:
        o   Dartmouth: 1st, 15.8 (8th)
        o   Princeton: 2nd, 14.0 (25th)

        o   Princeton: 3rd, 87.7% (22nd)
MOST IMPROVED
•   There is not a women's lacrosse award for Most Improved Player, but if there were Dartmouth's Kellen D'Alleva would have to be considered the frontrunner at this point.
•   The senior came into the season with just 32 points in 25 games over her first three seasons, but has amassed 41 already in just 10 games this spring thanks to 14 goals and 27 assists.
•   Her 27 helpers this year have her alone in seventh in the program's single-season records, just 12 shy of Jen Greene's 1998 mark. Whitney Douthett owns the second-(34), third-(31) and fourth-(30) best single-season assists mark, while Chanenchuk's 29 last season are fifth.
