Morel Earns Second Straight Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week Honor

HANOVER, N.H. — Dartmouth men's lacrosse goaltender Mason Morel was recognized by the Ivy League for the second straight week as its Defensive Player of the Week, following a 21-save performance on Saturday against No. 4 Princeton. Morel finished with 19 of his 21 saves over the first three quarters to keep the 18th-ranked Big Green in the game.

Dartmouth would pull within one on two occasions in the fourth quarter. The Big Green jumped out to a 4-1 lead early in the second, due in large part to Morel stopping 6-of-7 shots sent his way in the first quarter. In the end, he made 21 saves, allowing just 11 goals (three of which were scored on an empty net). The 21 saves tied a career high, originally set last season at Princeton.

Morel has tallied at least 14 saves with a game save percentage of 63.6 percent or higher in each of his last four games. For the season, he owns a 61.2 save percentage and 9.11 goals against average.

The Big Green, remaining at No. 18 in the national polls, remain home on Saturday to host No. 11 Harvard at 1 p.m.
