·      Dartmouth and Harvard also played each other in their season opener two years ago. The Crimson won 7-4 on Oct. 25, 2019, at Hanover, N.H. Three of Dartmouth's four goal scorers in that game are still on the roster this season (Trevors, Putrah, Bowlby).

ALL-TIME AGAINST HARVARD
·      This will be the 103rd all-time meeting between Dartmouth and Harvard. The Crimson lead with a record of 52-46-4.

TEAM BREAKDOWN
·      The 2021-22 roster is made up of 23 players and ten players on this year's roster were on the team during the 2019-20 season.
·      More than half the roster is made up of new faces since the last time the Big Green hit the ice and this year head coach Liz Keady Norton brought in seven freshman and one junior transfer.
·      Dartmouth returns their four top scorers from the 2019-20 season. Junior forward Catherine Trevors (10-8-18), junior forward CC Bowlby (10-6-16), senior forward Gabby Billing (6-9-15) and senior forward Lotti Odnoga (2-9-11).

CAPTAINS
·      As has been the case for the past four years, only one player is wearing the "C" on her jersey for the 2021-22 season. Billing will take the role as captain for the first time. She will be the team's only captain and no players have been given the alternate captain designation.
·      Billing ended her sophomore season third on the team with 15 points (6-9-15). She recorded at least one point 11 times during the 2019-20 season. She scored a career-high of two goals against Union (1/4/20). She also tallied a career-high of two assists twice. Once against Harvard (10/25/19) and once against Brown (12/6/19).
