THIS WEEKEND
Dartmouth volleyball will be on the road again, this time to face Brown and Yale.
Â
LAST TIME OUT
The Big Green had their first back-to-back Ivy League weekend, falling to Princeton 3-0 (10-25, 22-25, 16-25) and Penn, 3-2 (25-17, 22-25, 17-25, 25-16, 13-15).
·     Against the Tigers,
Emma Engstrom led with 17 digs, while
Makenzie Arent was first with her 15 assists.
Ellie Blain had eight kills and 8.5 points and
Francesca Meldrum had three total blocks.
·     Arent had her sixth double-double of the year (40A, 21D), both of which were season-bests.
Nicole Liddle led with a season-best 20 kills and 21 points, and Meldrum was first with four blocks.
Â
SCOUTING THE BEARS
Brown has had a great start to the season and is currently tied with Princeton for first place as the only two undefeated teams remaining. Brown heads into its second straight home weekend on a six-match winning streak.
Â
LAST TIME AGAINST BROWN
The Big Green had a five-match winning streak going from 11/11/16 through 11/2/18. Since then, the Bears have won the last two meetings by scores of 3-1.
Â
SCOUTING THE BULLDOGS
Picked to finish first in the conference, Yale is currently tied with Harvard for third. Even so, the Bulldogs are still having a good season, their one loss thus far coming against Brown in the Ivy opener.
Â
LAST TIME AGAINST YALE
The Green have won just twice against the Bulldogs since 2011, the last being in 2015 when they had a 3-1 victory at Leede Arena.
