SCOUTING THE BIG GREEN
Dartmouth hosts the Catamounts for its sixth game of the season with a 1-4-0 (1-4-0 ECAC) record through the prior five contests. Tuesday night marks the Big Green's first non-conference game of the season following a 3-2 overtime win at Quinnipiac. Dartmouth's top returner Tess Bracken registered two points (1 goal, 1 assist) and Christine Honor stopped 23 shots in route to their first win of the season. Freshman Sara McClanahan paces the offense with three points (1 goal, 2 assists). Honor has started four out of five games in net with a 3.45 GAA and .899 SV%. The Big Green finished last season with a 5-19-3 (3-16-3 ECAC) record to miss the ECAC playoffs.
 
INSIDE THE SERIES
Tuesday's trip to Dartmouth is the 20th all-time meeting and 10th at Thompson Arena between Vermont and the Big Green. The Catamounts have a 3-16-1 all-time record, but have taken three of the last four games dating back to December 2013. The two schools last played in 2016 when UVM skated to a 4-2 victory at Gutterson Fieldhouse. Sammy Kolowrat netted her first goal of the season while Ève-Audrey Picard and Ali O'Leary posted two assists. Vermont's most recent trip to Hanover came in 2015 when Kolowrat and Alyssa Gorecki were in their rookie seasons.
 
ŠKODOVÁ WINS HOCKEY EAST WEEKLY HONOR
Blanka Škodová was named Hockey East Defensive Player of the Week Monday (Nov. 5) at league headquarters. The rookie goaltender stopped all 42 shots faced in five periods of action at Gutterson Fieldhouse. She entered Tuesday's (Oct. 30) game against No. 8 Northeastern in the second period and registered 17 saves against Hockey East's top offense. Later on in the week, she recorded her first career shutout with 25 saves in 1-0 win over UNH. The weekly honor is the first of Škodová's career and the first won by a Catamount this season.
 
SWEET 60
Ève-Audrey Picard recorded her 60th career point last week against No. 8 Northeastern at Gutterson Fieldhouse. The junior assistant captain became the seventh Catamount in program history to reach the 60-point milestone. Her career total includes 32 goals, which is sixth on the program's all-time list. Picard is two points away from tying Taylor Willard '18 for sixth all-time in program history.
  
CATS IN THE PROS
Three former Catamounts faced off in late October as Taylor Willard took on former classmate Mackenzie MacNeil and fellow alumna Brittany Zuback of the Toronto Furies. Willard registered her first professional goal in the Montreal Canadiennes victory. The former UVM captain became the first alumna to register a goal this season.
