PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Home for just the second time since December 5, Brown will welcome Dartmouth to the Pizzitola Sports Center on Saturday afternoon. Tipoff is set for 3 p.m. on ESPN+.

SCOUTING THE BEARS

Brown is 3-1 to start Ivy play for the first time since the 2005-06 season, when the Bears started 11-1.
A victory on Saturday would match the Bears' Ivy win total from last season. The four wins in league play would tie for the most since winning seven games in 2016-17. Brown beat Penn last season for its fourth Ivy League win, snapping a 21-game losing streak in the process.
Brown opened Ivy League play with a strong 65-39 win at Dartmouth on January 6.
Last Saturday, Brown pulled away from Cornell with a big 30-point fourth quarter, shooting 8-of-9 from the floor in the frame to take control.
Jan. 6 at Dartmouth marked the first time Brown has allowed fewer than 40 points in an Ivy League game since it held Dartmouth to 39 points on February 23, 2013.
Brown started fast and stayed hot in their win at Dartmouth, connecting on 10 three-pointers, tied for the second most this season, and shot 38.5 percent from beyond the arc, the third-highest percentage this season.
Grace Arnolie had a career game last Saturday at Cornell, scoring a career-best 25 points and tying her career-high with nine field goals. Fifteen of her points came in the fourth quarter when she went a perfect 5-for-5 from the floor and 4-for-4 from three-point range.
Isabella Mauricio has 163 three-pointers for her career, seven shy of tying Colleen Kelly '06 for fifth place. Mauricio started her career at Brown making a freshman-record 70 threes. Only four Bears have ever made 200 three-pointers in their careers.
Kyla Jones has a chance to become the 23rd Bear in program history to hit 1,000 career points. Jones currently sits at 923 career points and is coming off a season where she scored 344 points. Jones is averaging 15.1 points per game in her career, which currently sits sixth in program history.

SCOUTING THE BIG GREEN

The Big Green dropped a two-point decision to Yale last weekend, 48-46, a game where neither side led by more than six points.
Dartmouth ranks 11th in the nation by allowing just 53.8 points per game this season. The 65 scored by Brown on January 6 is the third-most points allowed by Dartmouth in a game this season.
Dartmouth commits just 10 fouls per game this season, the fewest in Division I.
Junior forward Doreen Ariik is averaging 9.2 rebounds per game, second in the Ivy League behind Princeton's Ellie Mitchell.
Junior guard Victoria Page is the team's leading scorer at 9.1 points per game.

INSIDE THE SERIES

Dartmouth leads the all-time series 61-31.
Brown has won 10 of the last 16 matchups, including the last four in a row, tied for their longest winning streak in series history.
