Lions Face Dartmouth in Final Ivy Road Match Saturday

The Columbia women's soccer team travels to face the Big Green on Saturday at 4 p.m.

NEW YORK — The Columbia women's soccer team plays its final Ivy League road contest of the season on Saturday, traveling to face the Dartmouth Big Green at Burnham Field. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. ET on ESPN+.
 
The Lions (8-3-2, 2-1-1 Ivy) are looking to stretch their unbeaten streak to four and get back in the win column after posting a 1-1 draw at Princeton last weekend. First-year forward Shira Cohen scored the equalizer in the 48th minute on a double assist from fellow forwards Ally Clark and Emily Koe.
 
Sophomore midfielder Jessica Schildkraut continues to lead the Lions in scoring with nine points on the year behind a team-leading five assists plus two goals. Junior midfielder Cayla Davis, sophomore forward Mallaika Tomar and Cohen each have a team-best three goals on the year.
 
First-year goalkeeper Liz Matei has started all 13 contests this season, owning a .98 goals against average and .782 save percentage.
 
Having had success in road matches, Columbia owns a 4-1-2 record away from Commisso Soccer Stadium, with the only road loss of the season coming in the form of an 0-1 loss at Hofstra on Sept. 15.
 
SCOUTING DARTMOUTH
The Big Green enter Saturday's contest at 9-5 overall, however recording an 0-4 mark in Ivy League matches thus far. Dartmouth also owns a 5-1 record in home contests. Coming off a midweek 5-0 win over Southern Illinois, Dartmouth is led in scoring by first-year forward Allie Wistanley with 22 points behind nine goals and four assists.
 
Junior goalkeeper Mariel Gordon has played and started in all but one game this season, boasting a .76 goals against average.
 
INSIDE THE SERIES
Despite having gone unbeaten in the last four meetings, the Lions trail the all-time series with the Big Green, 7-22-4. Last season saw then-first-year Schildkraut score the game-winner in the 37th minute as the lone goal of the game in New York.

Columbia returns home for the final two regular season Ivy League matches, first facing off against Yale on Nov. 2 at 5 p.m. before taking on Harvard on Nov. 9 for Senior Day.
