WEDNESDAY'S GAME
The Dartmouth men's soccer team will take on Hartford in a midweek tilt at Burnham Field on Wednesday night.

SCOUTING THE RED HAWKS
Hartford comes to Hanover after knocking off Iona, 2-0 at home on Sept. 17. On offense, the Hawks have spread the ball around this season as six players have scored at least one goal. Jeff Tryon and Udi Cohen are tied with four points apiece and Alexis Triadis has a team-leading 17 shots. The Hawks have surrendered nine goals this season and have split time between two goalkeepers. Jimmy Slayton has seen the majority of action with a 2-1-1 record, while David MacKinnon has posted an 0-2-0 record.

FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME
The last time the Big Green took on Hartford was on Oct. 27, 1993. Dartmouth defeated the Hawks, 5-0, in Hanover after falling, 4-1, in the team's only other meeting on Sept. 12, 1992.

LAST TIME OUT
The Big Green are coming off a 1-1, 2OT draw with undefeated UMass Lowell. In the first half Dartmouth was able to get plenty of scoring opportunities in the attacking zone, which led to the first tally of the night. Just six minutes into the contest, Matt Greer, headed in his first goal of the season for the, 1-0, advantage. The River Hawks were able to get the equalizer before the halftime break when UMass Lowell was awarded a penalty shot in the 41st minute. Ivan Abramovic was taken down in the box and Carlos Ruiz took the shot for the River Hawks that beat James Hickok to his right side for the game-tying-goal. The contest eventually ended in a tie after a winner did not emerge after two 10-minute overtimes.

AYE AYE CAPTAIN
The Big Green are led by captains James Hickok and Emmanuel Arteaga. Also this season, Dartmouth will have three assistant captains, Wyatt Omsberg, Tyler Dowse and Danilack.

BETWEEN THE PIPES
Hickok has performed well for Dartmouth in goal so far in 2016. He is first in the Ivy League in save percentage (.808) and goals against (5).

TAKING CHANCES
