Dartmouth (7-18, 1-12 Ivy League) vs. Harvard (15-11, 8-4 Ivy League)
Date and Time: Tuesday, March 5 | 8 p.m.
Location and Venue: Cambridge, Mass. | Lavietes Pavilion
All-Time Series: 37-55
Last Meeting: Feb. 10, 2024 (L, 68-50)

SEASON FINALE
The Big Green head to Harvard on Tuesday evening to wrap up the 2023-24 season, their first under Gail Koziara Boudreaux '82 and Family Head Coach Linda Cimino. In a season marked by progress, the Big Green have more than tripled their win total from the 2022-23 season.

MEYER NOW THE LEADING SCORER
Sophomore Clare Meyer has been one of Dartmouth's go-to options offensively over the last month and is now leading the team in scoring with 8.1 points per game, jumping above Victoria Page (8.0). Meyer is also the team's second leading rebounder with 5.0 per game.

LAST MEETING
Missing two starters, Dartmouth suffered a 68-50 loss to the Crimson during its Alumni Weekend on Feb. 10. Clare Meyer scored a career-high 24 points, along with 11 rebounds, for her first career double-double. She would follow that with another double-double (14 points, 11 rebounds) in a win over Cornell just two games later.

MAKING PROGRESS
Not only have the Big Green more than tripled their win total from the previous year, they also earned their first Ivy League win since February 2022 with a 48-44 victory over Cornell on Feb. 17. Allowing more than 11 points fewer per game compared to last year, Dartmouth ranked among the top five nationally in scoring defense as recently as the first weekend of February. Another sign of the Big Green's progress this season? No double-doubles were recorded during the 2022-23 season, but Dartmouth has had six this season, including multiple from both Doreen Ariik and Clare Meyer. Ariik also spent much of the season leading the Ivy League in blocks per game. First-year Nina Minicozzi garnered the Big Green's first Ivy League weekly award since the 2018-19 season when she was named Rookie of the Week on Dec. 26.

FEWEST FOULS
Dartmouth is still committing the fewest fouls in the nation (has led the category since November) with just 10.5 per game. The next closest is Oregon with 11.8 fouls per game.

A LOOK AT HARVARD
Entering Tuesday's game with an 8-4 Ivy League record and already a spot in Ivy Madness clinched, Harvard looks to bounce back from consecutive road losses to Princeton and Penn. Harmoni Turner ranks second in the Ivy League with 19.0 points per game and was one of five Crimson players to score in double figures (led by Lola Mullaney's 16) against the Big Green on Feb. 10.
