MEYER'S MAGNIFICENT PERFORMANCE
Clare Meyer scored a career-high 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds (both game-highs) against Harvard for her first career double-double. Meyer's performance was Dartmouth's first 20-plus-point double-double since Isalys Quinones scored 21 points and had 10 rebounds against Columbia on March 8, 2019. 24 points was the most for any Big Green player since
Victoria Page scored 25 at Monmouth on Dec. 10, 2022.
PARIS BOUND
The Puerto Rican national team, which includes Isalys Quinones '19, qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Puerto Rico also appeared in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Quinones was an All-Ivy Second Team honoree as a senior (2018-19), averaging 14.0 points per game.
RANKINGS UPDATE
The Big Green are currently 13th in the nation in scoring defense, allowing 54.8 points per game, and still commit the fewest fouls per game in Division I (10.6).
Doreen Ariik, who has missed each of the last three games, still leads the Ivy League in blocks per game (1.75). Ariik is also second in the Ivy League, and among the top 50 nationally, in rebounds per game (9.3).
EXPECT MORE FROM MEYER
The sophomore has scored in double figures in three straight games, with two of those being the recent road games at Columbia and Cornell. Meyer was one of three double-digit scorers at Cornell and tied for the team lead with 10 points at Columbia.
ALL-TIME VERSUS COLUMBIA
Dartmouth is 51-22 all-time against Columbia despite dropping each of the last seven meetings. The Big Green's last win came on March 8, 2019 and that marked the last of a four-game win streak over the Lions. Prior to the current seven-game skid, Dartmouth had won nine of 11.
ALL-TIME VERSUS CORNELL
Dartmouth is 62-25 all-time against Cornell. The Big Green's last two wins over the Big Red both came in overtime (most recently on Feb. 18, 2022). Cornell is currently in its second longest win streak in the series history with the longest being five between 2012-13 and 2014-15.
SENIOR DAY UPCOMING
The Big Green are in action inside Leede Arena for the final time on Saturday, Feb. 24 when they host Yale.
SCHEDULE UPDATE
The season finale at Harvard, originally scheduled for March 9, has been moved to Tuesday, March 5 at 8 p.m.
