SATURDAY'S MATCH
We meet again. Brophy Field hosts a battle of undefeated Dartmouth and Army West Point in a rematch of the 2021 NIRA Final.
LAST TIME OUT
Dartmouth's 11-match win streak, the longest active for any Division I NIRA program, survived comfortably last Saturday at Brophy Field. The 41-10 win over Quinnipiac may have signaled midseason form for the Big Green, who had a late start to their season and only had one match under their belts entering the weekend. Dartmouth featured several different scorers, but
Sophie Ragg led the offensive attack with a pair of tries.
Nyah Cordero also provided a spark with her 40-meter sprint to the try zone to give the defending champions a commanding lead in the first half.
SERIES HISTORY AT A GLANCE
Dartmouth won twice on Army West Point's home pitch last season, and they were the two closest matches the Big Green played all year. Those two wins more than avenged a 39-19 loss at Brophy Field in October 2019. 2018, of course, was much like 2021 - Dartmouth beat Army twice en route to a national championship. The two teams traded lopsided decisions between 2016 and 2017 to begin the all-time series.
SCOUTING ARMY WEST POINT
Army West Point rolled through Mount St. Mary's 62-7 in its season opener and later dominated first-year program Princeton 87-0. The Black Knights most recently edged Quinnipiac 24-19 in a come-from-behind win. The Bobcats led 19-10 at one point, but eventually succumbed to the visitors' powerful offense. Army West Point was supposed to take on Brown last Saturday, but the match was postponed. Codi Butt currently leads the team with six tries on the season. Quinnipiac was able to hold her to one. Alissa Eisenhart has tallied 17 conversions this season. Sydney Schaaf delivered the game-winning try to lift Army West Point over Quinnipiac. It was her second of the season.
WHAT'S AHEAD
Saturday's contest marks the end of a two-game homestand for the Big Green as they're back on the road Saturday, Oct. 8 at Mount St. Mary's
