BACK AT IT
Dartmouth and Harvard meet again to wrap up the regular season series on Saturday. The Big Green are riding high after their Ivy League opening win over the Crimson in Hanover two weeks ago. Harvard is hoping that its strong play at home will play a role in earning its first Ivy win of the season.

1-0 !

Dartmouth started Ivy League play with a thrilling 63-62 win over Harvard two Saturday's ago.
Down one with 17 seconds to go, Katie Douglas knocked away Harvard's inbounds pass and Annie McKenna scooped it up for the breakaway, game-winning layup.
The Crimson led by four with three minutes to go, but a triple by Douglas cut it to one before she made the winning play.
Douglas led all players with 19 points and sunk a career-high five 3-pointers while grabbing four rebounds.
Annie McKenna was in double figures for the 12th game this season with 15 points and dished out five assists.
Paula Lenart finished with 10 points and led the Big Green with five rebounds and had three steals.
Anna Luce chipped in eight points and pulled down three boards.
For Harvard, Lola Mullaney, Mackenzie Barta and Rachel Levy scored in double figures.
Jeannie Boehm nearly had a triple-double with 18 rebounds, eight points and eight assists.
It was the first time that Dartmouth beat Harvard since the 2017-18 Ivy opener.

A WIN WOULD…

Keep Dartmouth at the top of the Ivy League standings.
Have the Big Green at 2-0 through the first two games of the conference schedule for the first time since 2009.
Give the Big Green its first season sweep over Harvard since 2009.
Snap a three-game road losing streak.
Make the Big Green 2-1 while playing in the commonwealth of Massachusetts and 4-1 against teams hailing from Mass.

BEYOND THE ARC

Dartmouth drilled a season-high 13-of-24 from deep last time out against Harvard, which was good for 54.2 percent, its best mark of the season.
The Big Green made five in the first quarter, two in the second, three in third and three in the fourth.
Six of the eight players who saw action hit a 3-pointer.
That game put Dartmouth at 93 made threes on the season, which is sixth in the Ivy League.
It was the second time this year that the Big Green sunk double-digit triples in a game (UMass Lowell: 10-of-20).

AN ANOMALY

Last time out was the first time that Dartmouth won a game when losing the rebounding battle.
The Big Green were previously 0-6 when being outrebounded, compared to 6-1 when grabbing more boards than their opponents.
It was also the first time Dartmouth won when its opponent scored 60 points or more and it was just the fourth game that the Big Green scored over 60 themselves.
The Big Green also won their first game when their opponent shot above 40 percent.
AND Dartmouth won for the first time when playing on Saturday!

SHARING THE WEALTH

The Big Green dished out 17 assists last time against Harvard, which was its highest total this season.
That combined with only nine turnovers, which was the second lowest of the year, was a good recipe for success.
Everyone who saw action earned an assist, led by Annie McKenna's five, followed by three from Paula Lenart and two from Asha Taylor, Elle Louie and Kealy Brown.
The 17 assists were over four above their average of 12.8.
