HANOVER, N.H. — "Big Green Classic" — a series of Dartmouth events from the past two years that are being streamed once again on
ESPN+ — returns following a holiday hiatus with the rebroadcast of the women's basketball Ivy League opener against Harvard nearly one year ago to the day. Fans can tune into the online service of the Worldwide Leader in Sports Friday evening at 7 p.m. (EST) to relive the heart-pounding game that took place in Dartmouth's Leede Arena.
The Big Green entered the game with a 6-7 overall record but was 4-1 at home, including its most recent victory by 19 points over in-state rival New Hampshire. The schedule was not going to get any easier with the start of conference play as the Ivy League finished the 2019-20 campaign ranked seventh in the RPI among the 32 leagues across the country. Harvard certainly helped that ranking, coming to town with a 9-4 mark with notable wins over California and Rhode Island.
Leading Dartmouth was senior point guard
Annie McKenna, averaging 13.2 points and 4.2 assists per game with junior
Anna Luce providing 9.8 points a night while shooting 47.1 percent from the floor, plus hauled in 5.0 rebounds. The team's top rebounder was senior
Paula Lenart at 7.5 per game, and junior Ella Louie did a little bit of everything (5.5 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 3.3 apg). But the key Big Green player in this game was sophomore guard
Katie Douglas, who entered the game with averages of 6.8 points and 2.5 rebounds.
This is the sixth of 13 games that will be streamed on the ESPN+ platform this winter. Each of the events will be available for viewing for 30 days after it airs with a subscription to the service. The complete schedule of events is listed below.
