The Harvard women’s lacrosse team will face its fourth nationally ranked opponent in five games when it hosts No. 14 Dartmouth this evening at Jordan Field.
The Crimson will be led by sophomore Natalie Curtis, the reigning Ivy League Player of the Week.
Curtis, also named as the Harvard COOP athlete of the week, scored seven goals in two games last week to earn the honors.
Five of those goals came in a 14-8 loss to No. 10 Princeton on Saturday. The scoring burst was Curtis’ third five-goal game of the season.
The sophomore’s other two goals of the week came in a 19-10 loss to New Hampshire on Wednesday.
Curtis currently leads the league with 10 goals from the eight-meter arc.
At 1-2 in the Ivy League, Harvard is tied with Brown for sixth place in the standings.
The Big Green, on the other hand, is tied with Penn for third place and can put pressure on second-place Cornell with a win against the Crimson.
Harvard leads the all-time series against Dartmouth, 16-13-1.
