GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The No. 6/5 Florida Lacrosse team (6-2) looks to extend their three-game winning streak as they welcome Dartmouth (5-5, 1-1 Ivy) to Donald R. Dizney Stadium on Saturday at noon.

The Gators are coming off a 22-7 win at Kennesaw State, which saw Clark Hamilton lead all goals scorers with four goals, as Ryann Frechette, Frannie Hahn and Ava Tighe each added a hat trick of their own.

Scouting the Mean Green
Dartmouth comes into this game off a 17-14 loss against UMass, where they were led by Madeline Egan (3 G/1 A), Charlotte Myers (3 G/1 A) and Katie Barr (2 G/2 A) who each had four points.

On offense, Dartmouth is led by Madeline Egan and Charlotte Myers on offense, both of who are in the top 20 in the NCAA for points per game, Egan at 10 and Myers at 16. Egan leads the Big Green with 39 points and goals as Myers leads the team in assists with 22.

The Mean Green turn to the tandem of Ruby Lucken and Jordan Healy in goal. Lucken leads the goalies with saves (29) and minutes played (278:02) and enter with a 3-2 record. Healy has made 11 saves in 114:22 minutes played and enters with a 2-0 record on the season.

Dartmouth is led by head coach Alex McFadden, who is in her seventh year at Dartmouth. She has compiled a 35-37 record and put up her first winning season last year, finishing 9-6.

Dartmouth is second in the NCAA in scoring offense (17.29) and has only failed to score more than 10 goals once, in their 14-10 loss to Penn.

Battle of the High Scoring Offenses
This matchup will see the top 2 scoring offenses in the country face off against one another. Florida is ranked first with 17.38 goals per game and Dartmouth is ranked second with 17.29 goals per game.
