History is on the side of the Dartmouth’s women’s hockey team for its upcoming games, as the Big Green attempts to break its current six-game winless streak by notching a pair of victories against Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Union College when both teams visit Hanover this weekend.

Dartmouth (6-10-2, 4-8-1 ECAC Hockey) overwhelmed RPI (5-4-3, 8-10-5 ECAC Hockey) in the ECAC Hockey tournament championship last season, winning by a score of 6-1. In the teams’ previous nine match-ups, the Engineers only managed a tie against the Big Green in Feb. 2008, with Dartmouth winning the other games outright.

RPI will rely heavily on forwards Whitney Naslund, Allison Wright and Alisa Harrison to lead its offensive charge. Naslund currently leads the team with 12 goals and 19 points.
