EVANSTON, Ill. – Coming off of a dominant 10-goal victory last Friday over Louisville, No. 7 Northwestern will get set to take on No. 25 Dartmouth and No. 24 Duke in their weekend doubleheader.

Chicago's Big Ten Team will take the field Friday evening at 7 pm in Ryan Fieldhouse and Wilson Field as they face off against Dartmouth College and will be back Sunday at noon against Duke.

Last week, senior attacker Selena Lasota led the team with five goals, which puts her into the top three all-time in NU history for most five goal games in a career. First-year Izzy Scane sprinted her way into the NU record books, scoring the first goal of the season in 12 seconds, the fastest for any season-opening goal in program history.

Northwestern remains in the top 10 in all three polls, climbing one spot in both the Inside Lacrosse and Lacrosse Magazine polls to come in at sixth (Inside Lacrosse), seventh (IWLCA) and seventh (US Lacrosse Magazine).

These two teams have never played in Evanston or Hanover, with all last eight meetings being at neutral sites. The last time the 'Cats took on the Big Green, they came away with a 7-4 victory to extend their record to 7-1 all-time.

LASOTA GOAL WATCH
With her five goal game last week, Selena Lasota earned sole position of the No. 3 spot for most five-goal games in NU history with 16 passing Shannon Smith ('09). She is now only 18 goals away from making it onto the NCAA Women's Lacrosse all-time goals list. She currently sits just outside the top 30 with 207, and only needs to reach 225 to make her way into the record book.

SQUAD GOALS
The Wildcats had six players with at least two goals in their victory over Louisville. This is the most players with multiple goals in a single game that the 'Cats have had since their 24-15 win against No.7 Georgetown in March of 2011 when they finished with seven.

QUICK ON THE DRAW
Sophomore Brennan Dwyer had a game high 12 draw controls, which tied her for the eighth best single-game mark and tied her for most draw controls in a single game by a sophomore. Dwyer also contributed two goals, one assist and picked up two ground balls.

FAST AS SCANE
First-year Izzy Scane scored Northwestern's first goal of the 2019 season in 12 seconds, which is the fastest first goal in program history. Scane went on to record a second goal, scooped up three ground balls, secured four draw controls and a caused a game-high four turnovers.
