NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale men's lacrosse team began the week with an impressive 17-14 victory over Boston University on Tuesday afternoon. The Bulldogs will look to complete a perfect week when Dartmouth visits Reese Stadium on Saturday. The opening face off is slated for 1 p.m.
 
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
 
* The Bulldogs (4-4, 0-3 Ivy) have two of their final three Ivy games at Reese starting Saturday against the Big Green. Yale hosts Brown on Apr. 15 and then wraps up the regular season at Harvard on Apr. 29. In between Brown and Harvard is a trip to Albany for a non-league game on Apr. 21. Cornell (3-0) is the only team unbeaten in Ivy play so the field for the four-team Ivy League Tournament very much remains to be determined.
 
*  Yale has scored 33 goals in its last two games. Leo Johnson has led the way with eight goals as he scored four against both Penn and Boston University. Matt Brandau contributed three goals in both games and added three assists in Tuesday's win over the Terriers.
 
* Chris Lyons leads the Bulldogs with 29 goals, which is third in the Ivy League. Lyons is seventh in the nation in goals per game (3.62).
 
* Goalie Jared Paquette made 13 saves in Tuesday's victory over BU. He leads the league and is third nationally in saves per game (14.38).
 
* Brandau, who has at least one point in all 48 games he has played at Yale, is 16th nationally in assists per game (2.12).
 
*  The Bulldogs are second in the league in scoring offense at 14.12 goals per game, which is 14th nationally.
 
*  Yale outscored BU 7-1 in the second quarter on Tuesday. Over the last two games, the Bulldogs have outscored their opponents 14-4 in the second, and on the season, Yale has a 39-25 advantage in second quarter goals scored.
