MID-WEEK TILT
The Big Green women's basketball team is staying semi-local this week, traveling to Worcester for a Tuesday game at Holy Cross.
LAST TIME OUT
Dartmouth dropped its first road game of the season to New Hampshire on Saturday, 58-46.
·
Mia Curtis had another double-digit performance, ending up with 10 by going 5-for-12 at the line.
· In the first game of her senior season,
Katie Douglas led the team by going 3-for-5 in 3-pointers, also going 3-for-7 in field goals and ending the game with nine points.
· The first quarter was very even; one team scored, the other responded. Treys by
Allie Harland and
Mekkena Boyd and a jumper by Curtis had the visitors trailing by five to head to the second (15-10).
· The Bobcats had a 17-10 advantage to end the first half, but the third quarter was dead on, with both teams scoring 14 points.
· While initially being kept off the board in the fourth, shots by Curtis,
Isabella DiGiovanni and
Rosie Jennings got the Green back within 12 before the end of the game.
SCOUTING HOLY CROSS
The Crusaders also head into Tuesday's game with a record of 0-2. They fell to Northeastern, 71-45, in the first game, while seeing a similar outcome to the one against Boston College over the weekend, 75-50.
LAST TIME VS. THE CRUSADERS
Although they used to meet on a yearly basis since the early 2000s, Dartmouth and Holy Cross haven't played each other since Dec. 20, 2017, a game the Big Green won in overtime, 76-74.
After Cy Lippold '19 tied things up with 30 seconds remaining in regulation, it stayed close in overtime. After opening OT with a 4-0 jump, Holy Cross scored back-to-back buckets to take a 74-73 lead with 1:04 to play. A good free throw by Paula Lenart '20 with 26 seconds remaining tied the game up again before Lippold was fouled on a steal and sent to the line with five ticks to go. Draining both of her free throws, the guard brought home the win for the Big Green after a 45-minute battle.
