SCOUTING THE BEARS
- Brown enters Saturday's match with a 3-3-1 overall record after most recently falling to two of the top teams in the nation, Army and Harvard.
- In the match at Army, Brown held tough against the Black Knights and held the potent West Point offense to just 17 points.
- Senior captains Kate Molloy and Mahdia Parker both touched down tries in last Saturday's Senior Day match against Harvard at Marvel Field. Parker is third on the team with five tries this season and Molloy is one of six Bears with multiple tries this fall.
- Junior Noelle Lewis leads the team with eight tries in 2022, bolstered by four in Brown's win at Princeton earlier in the season.
- Dartmouth enters the weekend with a perfect 6-0 NIRA record after consecutive wins over Harvard (31-29) and Princeton (95-10). The Big Green look to finish the regular season unbeaten for the second consecutive season.
- Dartmouth's last 15s loss came on November 9, 2019 in the NIRA semifinals, a 23-22 loss at Harvard.
- Senior Kristin Bitter leads the team with five tries this season and has also made 17 conversions. Her 55 points lead the Big Green by a considerable margin as junior Anjali Pant is second on the squad with 24 points.
- Defensively, Dartmouth has allowed just 67 points through the first six matches. Against the five opponents not named Harvard, the Big Green have allowed just 38 points.
