About Dartmouth
Saturday marks Dartmouth's eighth road contest this season (out of 10 matches total). The Big Green have gone 1-8 in their first nine matches, including road losses to the current Top-2 teams in the country, Georgetown and Washington.

Quaker Notemeal
*Penn's come-from-behind victory over the Dragons Tuesday night was the first such win since a 3-2 double overtime triumph over West Virginia on November 3, 2015.
 
*Graduate Joey Bhangdia and senior Matt Leigh both scored their team-leading fourth goals of the season in the Drexel win. Bhangdia, the team's leading returning scorer from 2019, now has 24 points in 38 career matches. Leigh now has 11 points in 10 matches this season after notching just one goal in 28 appearances between the 2018 and 2019 seasons.
 
*Penn has won four matches at home this season, the third straight season they've reached that mark under head coach Brian Gill after accomplishing the feat just three times between 2010 and 2017.
 
*Senior goalkeeper Dane Jacomen's performance against Drexel (11 saves, one goal allowed) moved him into second place in the conference in save percentage (.775) and saves per match (5.17)
