Ivy Play Rolls on For Men's Soccer Saturday Hosting Dartmouth

PHILADELPHIA - Week three of Ivy League action awaits the University of Pennsylvania men's soccer team this weekend, as Dartmouth ventures to Rhodes Field for a 7 p.m. kickoff on Saturday, October 14. The game serves as part two of a doubleheader with Penn women's soccer against the Big Green. 

GAME INFORMATION
DARTMOUTH (7-2-1, 1-0-1 Ivy) AT PENN (2-7-1, 0-1-1 Ivy)
Saturday, October 14 | 7 p.m. | Rhodes Field | Live Stats | Ivy League Network

PREVIEWING PENN
*The Quakers are coming off a 1-1 week that saw them take down the defending CAA champion Delaware Blue Hens before stumbling on the road to 14th-ranked Columbia on Sunday in Ivy play. 

*Five players from Penn have played and started in all 10 games this fall: Joe Swenson, Jerel Blades, Sam Wancowicz, Erumuse Momoh and Brandon Bartel.

*Swenson leads the squad with three goals to his name, sitting in a tie for third-most in the Ivy League. 

*Wancowicz has assisted on two goals this year, both in the 3-1 win over Delaware, leading the team. 

*Penn enters the weekend in a tie for sixth-place in the Ivy League standings with one point. A win would help vault the Quakers up the Ancient Eight ladder and match Dartmouth's current total of four points. 

*Scott Forbes has started six games in goal for the Red and Blue with 13 saves to his name. Etan Mabourakh has played in four matches for the Quakers with 22 saves and a GAA of 1.42.

NEWS AND NOTES: DARTMOUTH
*The defending Ivy League champion Big Green enter Saturday's contest with an overall record of 7-2-1, including an unbeaten mark of 1-0-1 in the Ivy League. Dartmouth took down Princeton in double overtime to open league play before battling Yale to a 2-2 draw last time out. The Big Green are riding an eight-match unbeaten streak after dropping their first two games of the year to Michigan State and Michigan.

*The Quakers lead the all-time series over Dartmouth 31-25-8, but the Big Green have held the upper hand of late, winning two-straight games over the Red and Blue. Penn's last win over Dartmouth came on the road in 2014. James C. Gentle Head Coach Rudy Fuller sports a 7-10-2 record against Dartmouth in his tenure at Penn.

*The Big Green have used a versatile offensive attack this fall, with a total of 20 goals scored from seven different players. Justin Donawa and Eduvie Ikoba lead the way with 11 and 10 points respectively, but Matt Danilack and Wyatt Omsberg aren't far behind with nine. In the cage, Christopher Palacios owns a 6-1-1 record with a microscopic GAA of 0.44.
