CAHALAN STAYS HOT
Senior Mary Beth Cahalan's hitting streak is up to nine games after going 3-for-4 at the plate, including a double, against Harvard on Tuesday. Three hits matched her career high. She was also 3-for-4 against Radford in Dartmouth's second game of the 2024 season. Cahalan is batting a team-best .365 in the leadoff spot for the Big Green.

HALL NOW LEADS THE NATION
As of Wednesday, April 10, Jensin Hall leads the nation in strikeouts per seven innings (11.3) after Duke's Cassidy Curd (the previous leader) recorded one strikeout in two innings on Tuesday. Hall's 17 strikeouts against Brown in her most recent start are the most by any Ivy League pitcher against a Division I opponent since 2006. During that performance, she notched her 100th strikeout of the season (and her career), becoming the fastest pitcher in program history to reach that milestone. Needless to say, she earned her third straight Ivy League Pitcher of the Week honor.

RECENT HISTORY WITH THE TIGERS
The Big Green have won 17 of the last 21 meetings with the Tigers, including 10 straight between 2013 and 2018. Princeton has won each of the last two meetings, however, having taken the final games of the 2023 series in Hanover. Dartmouth hasn't dropped a series at Princeton since 2012.

BATTLE ON THE BASEPATHS
Mary Beth Cahalan has caught eight runners stealing this season, which ranks second in the Ivy League. She'll be put to the test this weekend by the Tigers, who lead the Ancient Eight and rank among the top 25 nationally in stolen bases.

BACK HOME NEXT WEEKEND
The Big Green return to Hanover next weekend to host Cornell, beginning with a doubleheader on Saturday, April 20.
