Field Trip Day is a DePaul Athletics service project which provides local elementary children a glimpse of college life and for some it is their first time on a college campus. The Athletics Department provides free busing and game tickets to children from the city and surrounding suburbs. DePaul's Field Trip Day is in its seventh year while the event normally draws a sold out crowd of enthusiastic young Blue Demon fans most in their first blue DePaul t-shirt.
DePaul (4-3) is looking to rebound from its 96-85 loss to No. 5/6 Kentucky on Dec. 12. Brittany Hrynko led four Blue Demons in double figures with 20 points, while Megan Rogowski added 19 and Jasmine Penny and Megan Podkowa each chipped in 17 against the Wildcats.
On the year, Megan Rogowski paces that same quartet with 15.0 points per game and has reached double digits in six of DePaul's seven games. A 3-point specialist, the junior leads the BIG EAST with 3.4 triples per game. Rogowski knocked down four 3-pointers against Kentucky and tallied a career-high six triples at Northwestern. The Prospect Heights native boasts a .444 field goal percentage from behind the arc while 24 of her 34 made field goals are from 3-point range.
Dartmouth (1-7) has dropped its last six games and is paced by Fanni Szabo's 18.9 points per game. The freshman also leads the Big Green in field goal percentage (.470), 3-pointers (20), free throw percentage (.808) and steals (16). Dartmouth is under the direction of Belle Koclanes.
