This is Yale's third of four home games within a five-game span to end the season. The Bulldogs are 6-3 (.667) at home this season and are 18-10 (.643) at Johnson Field since Nov. 4, 2017.
A SEASON OF FIRSTS

CAPTAIN DAVIES AMONG ASSISTS LEADERS
Senior midfielder
Imogen Davies (Kilmacolm, Scotland), Yale's captain, has moved into a tie for fifth place on Yale's career assists list with 26. She is tied with
Maggi Smeal '82 and needs three to tie
Katie Cantore '10 for fourth.
Dinah Landshut '12 is Yale's all-time leader with 44. Davies is tied for third in the Ivy League this year with eight assists, including five in the last eight games.
DOLAN OUT THE GOALS
Senior forward/midfielder

DILLMAN PROVIDES OFFENSE
Junior midfielder
Théodora Dillman (Lancaster, Pa.) is tied for fifth in the Ivy League in goals with eight, and she is seventh in the league in points (8-4-20). She is a two-time All-Ivy League selection and since Sept. 19 has not gone more than two games without scoring a goal.
ANSARI ENJOYS BREAKOUT SEASON
Sophomore forward
Lena Ansari (Glenview, Ill.) has enjoyed a breakout season. With two games remaining, she has already more than doubled her point total -- and has doubled her goal total -- from her first season. She totaled nine points (4-1-9) as a first year and has 21 this year (8-5-21). Ansari is tied for fifth in the league in goals with eight and is tied for sixth in points.
SCOUTING DARTMOUTH
