Last Time Out
The Minutemen fell to Vermont 1-0 in their last match on Saturday at Rudd Field. UMass went down 1-0 in the 31st minute off a Catamount goal scored off a corner kick before posting a stronger second-half performance to push for the equalizer. The Minutemen were even in second half shots 4-4 and put four on target for the game. Marvyn Dorchin finished with seven saves in goal for the Minutemen.

The Opponent
Dartmouth comes to Amherst with an 0-2 record on the season after last week's West coast road trip to Seattle for a pair of matches. The Big Green opened their season against No. 3-ranked Washington on Sept. 10 with a 3-0 loss before falling to Seattle on Sunday in overtime, 3-2. Trevor Gee and Matt Pickering have both scored for Dartmouth through two games while the Big Green have split time in goal between Alex Budnik and Costi Christodoulou.

UMass Leaders
Filippo Begliardi Ghidini is tied for the UMass lead in points on the season with two goals and a pair of assists after scoring twice in a 2-1 double overtime win over Central Connecticut State on Wednesday. Joe Leslie has put home a team-leading three goals on 11 shots while Yosuke Hanya has added a pair of assists. Alec Hughes ranks third on the team in points with a goal and an assist. In goal, Marvyn Dorchin has posted 19 saves and a 0.75 goals against average in over 481 minutes in goal.

Looking Ahead
The Minutemen are set to begin Atlantic 10 play on Saturday at Rudd Field against Saint Louis. The Billikens were ranked No. 23 in the United Soccer Coaches Top-25 Poll last week and are coming off a 1-1 draw at SMU in double overtime and will take on SIUE on Tuesday in their final game before coming to Amherst for the conference opener.
