HANOVER, N.H. -- The third-ranked Dartmouth women's hockey team will be hitting the road this weekend to face defending national champion Minnesota-Duluth in a two-game series beginning on Friday night.

The first game of the set will be on Friday night at 7:37 p.m. (CST), followed by a Saturday afternoon matchup at 3:37 p.m. (CST).

LAST TIME OUT

The Big Green rebounded after a tough weekend in ECAC Hockey as Dartmouth swept Cornell and Colgate at Thompson Arena to remain unbeaten on home ice. The Big Green faced a two-goal deficit midway through the third period and fired back with three goals in the last 10 minutes, including Sarah Newnam's game-winner with 55 seconds remaining. After the big win on Friday night, Dartmouth had no trouble with Colgate with a 7-2 win which included a four-goal second period.

NATIONAL POLLS
After the weekend sweep of Cornell and Colgate, the Big Green moved up three spots in the USCHO.com National Poll to No. 3 in the nation. It is the second time this year that Dartmouth has reached the third spot in the polls. Last time it didn't work well as the Big Green went 0-1-1 after earning the spot.
