TERRIER TIDBITS

Dartmouth marks the second consecutive opponent for BU to be coming off an NCAA berth following the Minutemen.
Through four games, BU's offense has been either feast or famine with three goals against both UMass (3-2) and Boston College (3-3) and then 2-0 shutouts to UMass Lowell and Rhode Island.
Junior Matt McDonnell has combined for five of the goals after totaling seven total through his first 34 appearances as a Terrier.
McDonnell recorded both equalizers against UMass in the second half on Friday before freshman Kari Petursson delivered the game winner from 25 yards out during the 85th minute.
A fellow native of Iceland alongside Petursson, sophomore Toti Knutsson leads the team in assists with three total.
Sophomore William Bonnelyche has started the last three games at net, combining for eight saves.

SCOUTING DARTMOUTH

Four-time defending Ivy League champion Dartmouth is seeking its first goal of the season after suffering shutout defeats on the road to then-No. 6 Indiana (3-0), No. 24 Notre Dame (2-0) and most recently UConn (1-0).
Dartmouth went 12-3-2 last season and was eliminated by New Hampshire in the opening round of the NCAA tournament on penalty kicks.
The Big Green are riding a 10-game unbeaten streak (9-0-1) at home dating back to October 2016.
Eduvie Ikoba is the leading returning scorer for Dartmouth with 19 points (8g,3a) ... Both Justin Donawa (14p) and Dawson McCartney (12p) had eight assists apiece.
Christopher Palacios owns two starts at net and has posted a 0.692 save percentage with a 2.67 goals against average ... Henry Stusnick started against Notre Dame and split the UConn game with Palacios to record a 2.00 GAA and 0.600 save percentage.

SERIES HISTORY

The Terriers lead the all-time series dating back to 1950, 5-4-3, and are riding a six-game unbeaten streak.
The teams took a lengthy break between 1953-1997 and have split a pair of NCAA tournament contests with Dartmouth winning in 1997 and the Terriers prevailing in 2004.
BU won the last meeting, 1-0, at home in 2016 off a golden goal from Felix De Bona ('16) in the first overtime following a 3-1 road victory in 2014.
