TODAY’S GAME
GAME 15
Dartmouth Big Green (5-9, 3-2) vs.
Harvard Crimson (8-7, 2-3)
Date: Saturday, Nov. 1, 2014 – 1 p.m.
Location: Hanover, N.H. – Chase Field
All-Time Series: Dartmouth, 24-14-4
Last Time: Nov. 2, 2013 – W, 4-2 (Cambridge)
THIS WEEKEND
The Dartmouth field hockey team is back in action for a pair of games this
weekend, playing host to Harvard on Saturday and taking on UNH in Durham
the following afternoon. The game at New Hampshire will serve as the final
non-conference game of the season for the Big Green.
LAST TIME OUT
Dartmouth fell, 3-1, at Columbia on Sunday afternoon, dropping out of the
four-way tie for first place in the Ivy League with the Lions, Princeton and
Cornell. Freshman Anna Ewasechko scored the lone goal of the game for the
Big Green, finding the back of the cage in the 48th minute with her team team
down by three.
SCOUTING HARVARD
The Crimson come to Hanover having lost their last three games by the
identical score of 1-0, dropping their overall mark to 8-7 and 2-3 in Ivy
contests. UNH, Princeton and, most recently, Boston College have managed
the one-goal shutout victory against Harvard dating back to Oct. 19. The last
goal a Crimson player managed to score came in a 2-1 win against Cornell
on Oct. 18 with Noel Painter netting a marker in the 25th minute (a stretch
of 256:00 without a goal). Painter’s seven goals and 18 points are both the
most among her teammates with Marissa Balleza and Elizabeth Jacobson
tied for second with 13 points each. Junior Issy Davies has been the primary
goalkeeper for Harvard this season, posting a 1.41 goals against average and
a .696 save percentage to go along with her 8-7 mark.
AGAINST THE CRIMSON
Dartmouth owns a 24-14-4 advantage in the all-time series, a figure boosted
by last season’s 4-2 win in Hanover. Ellen Meyer set a then-career high with
13 saves in the victory, while Eliza Becker scored twice and Olivia Quaglia ’13
and Jenna Schwenk netted one each.
IVY LEAGUE LEADERS
With just two weekends remaining in conference play, nothing seems to be
shaking out in terms of a clear Ivy League champion. Dartmouth was knocked
from the top of the standings with its loss to Columbia, but the Lions remained
tied at 4-1 in Ancient eight games with Cornell and Princeton. The Tigers and
Big Red play on Saturday, while Columbia has games remaining with Yale and
Harvard. Cornell defeated Columbia in OT, while the Lions became the first
Ivy team since Dartmouth in 2011 to defeat Princeton. Dartmouth sits alone
in fourth at 3-2 in conference matches and can jump back into the mix with a
series of losses by the teams ahead of it.
STRONG IN GOAL
Meyer continues to be strong in the cage for the Big Green in her final season
with the team. She posted her third double-digit save game of 2014 on Sunday
as she turned aside 13 shots off Columbia sticks. Meyer’s 117 saves rank
second in the league behind only Yale’s Heather Schlesier (134). Meyer needs
just 15 saves combined in her final three games to move into the program’s
single-season top-five. Coming into the season, Meyer had 169 total saves,
including a career-high 120 last fall. Her 286 career saves coming into the
weekend are just 17 short of moving her into fifth all-time, a remarkable feat
given she has been the No. 1 starter for just two full seasons.
THE DETRICK-YEES
We will have another sister act at Chase Field this weekend as junior Clare
Detrick-Yee will battle her sister Jill on Saturday. Jill is a freshman with the
Crimson this season, appearing in three games in 2014. Dartmouth’s Lisa
Masini ’12 used to battle her sisters Kit ’12 and Anna ’16 both of Brown during
her time in Hanover.
TWO-GAME WEEKENDS
This weekend will mark the third instance of 2014 in which Dartmouth will
play games on consecutive days. The team opened up the year with losses to
Northwestern and Louisville on Sept. 5-6, before defeating Brown and Bryant
in Hanover on Sept. 27-28.Unlike those previous two occurrences, this will be
the first time the two games have come in different locations.
LAST TIME OUT
DARTMOUTH FALLS IN IVY LEAGUE ROAD
CONTEST, 3-1, AT COLUMBIA
NEW YORK – The Dartmouth field hockey team saw its threegame win streak against Ivy League opponents snapped on Sunday
afternoon as it fell, 3-1, at Columbia.
The Big Green dropped out of the four-way tie for first place in the
Ancient Eight standings with the loss, falling to 3-2 in conference
play and 5-9 overall. The Lions remain one of the teams atop the
leaderboard at 4-1 in league and 11-5 overall.
Freshman Anna Ewasechko scored the lone goal of the game for the
home team, netting her second of the season in the 48thth minute.
But, by then, the Lions had already built their lead to 3-0 after tallies
from Zoe Blake (7th), Whitney Hartstone (16th) and Christina Freibott
(27th).
Junior Eliza Becker set up the Ewasechko marker and was credited
with the assist.
Senior goalkeeper Ellen Meyer was once again tested often on
Sunday, stopping 13 shots in what eventually shaped up to be a
losing effort. At the other end, the duo of Kimberly Pianucci (9 saves)
and Marlee Silverstein (0 saves) played and benefited from three
defensive saves from defenders.
The home team held a 24-20 edge in shots and a 14-9 advantage in
penalty corners.
THE CLASS OF 2015
#11 // JANINE LEGER // MIDFIELD // JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA
Janine has been one of the most consistent and tough players in her time with
the Big Green, starting in all 66 games since arriving in Hanover in 2011. She
has been one of the most crucial players in the Dartmouth midfield in the last
four years, adding depth, skill and a wealth of talent in all areas of the field.
Hailing from South Africa, Janine made an immediate impact on the team as
a freshman, earning All-Ivy Honorable mention recognition. She continued her
career with a 17-point season as a sophomore and developed into a leader as
a junior, a skill she has carried over to this season as she has served as one of
the team’s tri-captains.
#1 // ELLEN MEYER // GOALKEEPER // PROSPECT, KY.
In just the past two seasons, Ellen has molded herself into one of the top
goalkeepers in the Ivy League as well as one that ranks among the alltime best at Dartmouth. After sporadic appearances in goal during her
freshman and sophomore seasons, she took over the role of the team’s No.
1 keeper last season and has never looked back. Her total in just the last
two campaigns rank among the top-five in goalkeeper saves in program
history and her single-season total this fall is also one of the five-best ever at
Dartmouth. Though tested often this season, Meyer has been up to the task
and has made herself into one of the best at her position in the Ancient Eight.
#7 // ALI SAVAGE // FORWARD // ORANGE, NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA
Ali joined the team in 2011 along with her fellow honorees here today and
made an immediate and lasting imprint on the program. She will leave
Dartmouth second all-time in career goals and points and fifth in assists. Her
remarkable knack for scoring also came in critical junctures as her 12 gamewinning goals during her career comprise more than a third of Dartmouth’s
total over the last four seasons. She has all five of Dartmouth’s winners this
season, including two in OT, a first by a Dartmouth player in 14 years. A twotime unanimous All-Ivy League First Team Selection, she has been tabbed as
the conference’s top weekly player seven times during her career and the top
rookie three times in 2011 when she was also named to the All-Ivy League
Second Team.
#8 // REBECCA HU // MIDFIELD // SKILLMAN, N.J.
Will return in 2015 after being granted a medical redshirt.
