·      Dartmouth held the visitors, who have scored an average of 12 goals per game, to far fewer.
·      This was the Green's first win over the Catamounts since 2017.

HINCKS COMING UP BIG
The goalkeeper from Newtonville, Massachusetts, has been having a great senior season thus far. His 16 saves in the first game of the season against Merrimack was a personal best and, since then, he has broken that twice. He was named the DartmouthSports.com Male Athlete of the Week for his performance in the game against Vermont.

A few days after that win, he was included in the first round of additions to the Tewaaraton Watch List, a prestigious annual award that honors the top male and female college lacrosse player in the country.

SCOUTING THE RED STORM
St. John's has had a tough start to the 2022 season and enters Saturday's game with a record of 1-5. The Red Storm kicked off the year with rather large losses to No. 9 Rutgers (23-6) and Bucknell, which was and still is receiving votes (23-7). After that, they fell to Stony Brook (17-10, a team Dartmouth will meet for the first time ever in a few weeks) and Hofstra (12-6) before finally picking up a win against Manhattan (9-7). Most recently, St. John's fell to Siena (13-10, a team the Big Green have already defeated).

The Storm have struggled over the last few years. Though they did enjoy a full season in 2021 while Dartmouth only got to play two games, they ended the season with just one win, a 19-18 overtime victory at the very beginning of the year.

LAST TIME AGAINST ST. JOHN'S
Three years ago to the day, on March 19, 2019, the Big Green fell to the Storm, 15-8, in Queens.

Dartmouth kept it close and, early in the third quarter, was only trailing by one (7-6). An 8-2 St. John's rally over the next quarter and a half gave the win to the Red Storm.

LEADING THE WAY
Prince remains the team leader in goals (9) and points (13) and is tied with Colin McGill with four assists apiece. Peter Rizzotti leads the way with seven caused turnovers.

Myers has grabbed the most ground balls with 20 and has taken the majority of the faceoffs, going 41-70 (.586). In net, Hincks has seen all 240 minutes of action, making 64 saves and allowing 33 goals for a .660 save percentage and 8.25 goals against average.
