Big Green Release Final Roster for 2016 Season

HANOVER, N.H. – Dartmouth head lacrosse coach Brendan Callahan announced the final roster for the upcoming 2016 season.

“I would like to congratulate 42 members that have earned a spot on the team,” he said, “and have made the commitment to join the Big Green lacrosse program.

“This year, we had returning team members go through a three-day tryout,” Callahan continued. “We felt like we had a group whose members have a lot of different stories and have been down different paths to get here, and we wanted to wipe the slate clean and start from scratch. We told them that, from this point forward, no matter what year you are, who recruited you, where you came from, what happened in the past, that we are all now at the same starting point and ready to move forward together.”

With the announcement came the addition of three new members to the Class of 2019: Joe Balaban, Walker Schneider and Matt Tanenblatt.
