This Time Out: Dartmouth hosts Ivy foe Columbia in a critical conference matchup for both teams. Despite having two losses, the Big Green can still finish 5-2 in Ivy play and three weeks of games left means plenty of potential Ancient Eight drama in the battle for the title.

Last Time Out: Dartmouth cruised to a 3-0 victory over Vermont on Tuesday evening at Burnham Field. Scoring three first half goals, the Big Green outshot the Catamounts, 28-1. All 21 available players saw significant playing time in the victory and three different players scored goals and three had assists. Dartmouth opened the scoring in the ninth minute when Kelsey Quick (Bernardsville, N.J.) brought the ball into the box and unselfishly passed it off to Myra Sack (Wynnewood, Pa.). Sack easily beat the keeper with a low, left footed shot to go up 1-0 in the ninth minute. Dartmouth went up 2-0 in the 26th minute when Sack played the ball from the right side to Becky Poskin (Leawood, Kan.), who corralled the ball and fired past the Vermont keeper. Junior Peyton Tata (Virginia Beach, Va.) closed the scoring with a long bomb from the right side off a feed from Ali Hubbard (Marshfield, Mass.).
