Senior Day: Princeton will recognize its senior class of Ryann Brown, Ella Midura, Heather MacNab, Kate Toomey, Lily Bryant, Kiley Hamou and Tyler McCamey ahead of Saturday's game. The class has helped Princeton to two NCAA tournament bids, reaching the second round both times. Princeton has won 44 games over the group's nearly four seasons with the team.

The Ivy Race: Clinching an Ivy League title isn't on the table for Princeton on Saturday, but putting itself in position to clinch next week is at stake for Princeton. Columbia (4-0-1) has 13 Ivy standings points, one more than Princeton (4-1-0, 12 points). A Columbia win at Yale and a Princeton loss to Dartmouth would clinch the Ivy title and Ivy tournament hosting duties for the Lions. A Columbia win and a Princeton tie would clinch at least a share of the Ivy title for Columbia, but Ivy tournament hosting duties would still be determined by next weekend's game when Princeton goes to Columbia. A Princeton win and a Columbia loss would put Princeton in position to win or tie next week at Columbia and win the Ivy title and host the Ivy tournament. A Princeton win and a Columbia win would mean Princeton would need to win next week to win the Ivy title and host the Ivy tournament. The race for the final two spots in the Ivy tournament is very close, with Brown (2-1-2) third at eight points, Yale (2-2-1) fourth at seven points, and Cornell (2-3-0) fifth at six points. Harvard (0-2-3) is seventh at three points and Dartmouth (0-3-2) is eighth at two points.

The Series vs. Dartmouth: Princeton leads the all-time series with the Big Green 23-16-3, has won four in a row and is unbeaten in the last nine meetings, going 7-0-2 since Dartmouth's last win in the series, in 2013. Princeton is unbeaten in the last seven games (5-0-2) in Princeton against the Big Green since Dartmouth's last win in Princeton in 2006. Princeton's last non-win against Dartmouth was in 2018, at home. Princeton has outscored Dartmouth 12-0 in a seven-game run beginning in 2016, a span of 653:45. In 2021, Dartmouth's Emily Hardy played the full 90 between the posts in a 3-0 Tiger win in Hanover. In 2022, Pietra Tordin and Heather MacNab provided the goals in a 2-0 Tiger win in Princeton. In 2023, Tordin had both goals in a 2-0 win in Hanover while Hardy had nine saves for Dartmouth and Tyler McCamey made one save in the shutout win.

On Dartmouth: The Big Green carried a record of 6-2-1 into their Ivy League opener against Yale, but Dartmouth will enter Saturday's game looking for its first Ivy win of the season, holding an 0-3-2. All five of Dartmouth's Ivy League games have been ties or decided by one goal, and the combined score of those five games have been five goals for the Ivy opponents and two for Dartmouth, for seven total goals. Dartmouth has allowed more than one goal in a game only once after a 6-1 loss to Pittsburgh on Sept. 5, a 2-1 loss to Yale on Sept. 28. Daisy Granholm has seven of the team's 23 goals on the season, leading the Big Green's 13 goal scorers, and Granholm and Danielle Burke have split the team's two goals in Ivy play. Ally Connors has played just short of 800 of the team's 1,260 minutes in goal on the season, holding a 1.36 GAA, but in Ivy play, Emily Hardy has played 360 of the 450 minutes, holding an 0.75 GAA.

Stingy Tigers: Princeton has outscored its opponents 29-9 this season and has turned in six shutouts, allowed one goal seven times, and has allowed more than one goal in a game only once this season, the 2-1 loss to Yale that has been Princeton's only league loss.

Stat Rankings: As a team, Princeton entered Wednesday ranked 23rd in the nation in assists per game (2.29), 25th in GAA (0.643) and 30th in points per game (6.43). Tyler McCamey ranked 26th in save percentage (.849).

On Offense: Princeton has had 14 goal scorers this season with Isabella Garces, Alexandra Barry and Pietra Tordin co-leading the team with four goals and Brooke Dawahare next with three. Eight of the 14 goal scorers scored their first career goals this season, and 23 of the 29 goals have come from non-seniors.

Between the Posts: Tyler McCamey has played 12 of the team's 14 games and has an 0.67 GAA with five of the team's six shutouts. Cecilia Cerone turned in a shutout in her first career start earlier this month against Lafayette and played the full 90 in the Oct. 22 win at UMBC.

Tordin Climbs the Chart: Junior Pietra Tordin, who made her season debut on Oct. 1 after helping Team USA to third place at the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Colombia, stands 12th in program history with 24 career goals. Just one more goal will tie her for 10th in program history, and with five more, she'd be alone in seventh place. Tyler Lussi '17 holds the program record with 53 goals, and two of the top three in program history played for Sean Driscoll, with Mimi Asom '19 third at 43. At the U-20 WWC, Tordin scored four goals, leading Team USA and becoming the first U.S. player to net a hat trick at the U-20 WWC, which she did against Paraguay in the group-stage final, since 2018, and the team's highest goal scorer at the U-20 WWC since 2012. Tordin was one of two Tigers at the U-20 WWC, with sophomore backliner Zoe Markesini helping Canada to the knockout round. It was Markesini's second age-group WWC with Canada, along with the U-17 event in India in 2022.

Coach Driscoll: A three-time Ivy Coach of the Year, Sean Driscoll has led Princeton to three Ivy titles, five NCAA tournament appearances, four trips to the NCAA second round and one of those to the NCAA quarterfinals. Driscoll leads all active Ivy League coaches in wins at their current posts, with 103. Next are Brown's Kia McNeill (84), Columbia's Tracey Bartholomew (80), and Harvard's Chris Hamblin (79).

Up Next: Princeton will head to Columbia next Saturday for a 2 p.m. kick that could determine the Ivy League champion and the Ivy League Tournament host.
