The Series with Dartmouth
The Quakers are meeting the Big Green for the 45th time in program history, with Penn maintaining a 25-16-3 lead in the all-time series. The Quakers are riding a six-game winning streak in the series, including two wins in Hanover. The last time up in New Hampshire in 2018, Penn battled out a 3-2 double overtime victory after Alexa Schneck put together a two-goal performance including the game-winner in the 84th minute.
 
Last Time We Met
Penn hosted the Big Green last season at Ellen Vagelos Field, securing a 2-1 victory on Senior Day. Meghan Ward put the first goal on the board just six minutes into the game, but Dartmouth evened it up at the start of the third quarter. However, the tie lasted no more than a minute when Gracyn Banks capitalized on a shot from the top of the circle on a penalty corner. The Quakers outshot Dartmouth, 15-4, for the game.
 
About The Big Green
Dartmouth's season will also end on Saturday, entering with a 3-13 overall record, 0-6 in the Ivy League. Their three wins came early in the season, recording three-straight wins against Northeastern (4-3), Sacred Heart (4-2) and Merrimack (2-1). Most recently, the Big Green are coming off a tight 2-1 loss to Yale at home, having the first half lead fizzle away with two second half Bulldog goals. Lila Browne scored the lone goal for Dartmouth, as she is tied as the point leader with 11 points this season alongside teammates Bronwyn Bird and Holley Cromwell. Myah Pease leads the team with five goals. Hatley Post has tended the cage for much of the season, making 84 saves with a 2.86 goals-against average.
 
Penn's Last Time Out
The Quakers wrapped up the home portion of their schedule this past weekend, putting together two blistering performances for victories over Columbia (7-2) and Delaware (4-1). Friday's win over the Lions marked the 100th Penn victory for Head Coach Colleen Fink and Associate Head Coach Katelyn O'Brien. It was the first time since 2015 the Quakers put up seven goals in a game, while Allison Kuzyk registered a hat trick of goals in the first half. It was the first hat trick in a game for the Quakers since 2015 when Alexa Hoover scored five against Saint Joseph's. Kuzyk was joined by Courtney Kenah (2), Banks and Livia Loozen with goals in the contest. On Sunday for Senior Day, Penn defeated the Blue Hens for the first time since 2007 and the first time at home since 1989. The four goals tie the most against Delaware in series history. Three of the four goals were scored by seniors (Julia Russo, Sydney Huang, and Elita Van Staden), while the fourth was scored by Lis Zandbergen.
