THIS WEEKEND
Dartmouth volleyball will host its annual home tournament this weekend, welcoming Hofstra, Hartford and Fordham to Leede Arena for the two-day, six-match invite. Live stats and video on ESPN+ will be available for all six matches.

LAST TIME OUT
The Big Green opened the 2019 season at the UNC Asheville Invitational last weekend, finishing first after defeating North Carolina A&T (25-18, 25-21, 26-24) and the host (25-22, 25-19, 25-7) and falling to Eastern Kentucky (25-18, 25-21, 26-24). Some highlights include:

Bella Hedley was named MVP of the tournament after recording a total of 45 digs (five/set), six assists and two aces. She had a career-high 21 digs in the win against UNC Asheville.
Elise Petit was selected to the all-tournament team following her team-leading 35.5-point performance (3.94/set). She also averaged 3.44 kills/set with a team-high 31 kills and added 22 digs (2.44/set), seven blocks and one ace.
Makenzie Arent recorded nine kills, 21 digs (2.33/set), three blocks and a .381 hitting percentage. She had a weekend-high 35 assists and .481 hitting percentage in the final match against the host. She was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week for her performance.
Grace Wiczek averaged 3.11 kills/set with 28 kills throughout the weekend. She posted a .232 hitting percentage during her first collegiate weekend. She also added four blocks and 14 digs.

SCOUTING THE OPPONENTS
Hofstra
The Pride, with an overall record of 3-3, are heading into their third of four straight tournaments, going 1-2 at the Penn State Classic and 1-1 at the FIU Panther Fest. Earlier this week, Hofstra played a single match at home against St. John's.

Hartford
The Hawks started 2019 with back-to-back losses to Howard and George Washington but have since come back from that and are currently on a four-match winning streak following victories over American Niagara, Youngstown State and Cornell. Hartford won the Cornell Invitational and picked up Player, Setter and Rookie of the Week awards.

Fordham
The Rams have had a good fall so far, going 2-1 at both the Georgia State Tournament and the Radford Tournament. This is Fordham's last invitational of the season.
