MILESTONES APLENTY
Makenzie Arent recorded her 2,000th career assist during her final game at Leede Arena, becoming the fourth player in program history to reach the plateau. Emma Engstrom notched her 1,000th career dig the previous day and earlier this season, Karen Murphy hit 1,000 assists.

THREE AND OUT
In a season marked by the re-emergence of five-setters (after not playing any in 2022), Dartmouth has now been part of four straight sweeps and is 2-2 in that stretch. If this weekend's matches only go three, it'll be the first time since the 2012 season that Dartmouth has played six straight three-setters. That campaign ended with a 14-match losing streak, which was capped by six sweeps.

SCOUTING PENN
A sweep of Columbia represents the only two Ivy League wins of the Quakers' season so far. The Penn defense has struggled, ranking last in the conference in both blocks per set and opponent hitting percentage, but the performance of Zada Sanger seems to signal a brighter future. The first-year ranks second in the Ivy League in kills per set (3.47).

SCOUTING PRINCETON
The Tigers are on their way back to the Ivy League Tournament and Lucia Scalamandre, last year's Rookie of the Year, is a big reason why. She leads the conference and ranks among the top 10 nationally in hitting percentage at .436.
