Dartmouth Prepares for Challenging 2017 Season Ahead

HANOVER, N.H. – Dartmouth men's tennis will begin its 2017 season with a double-header at home this weekend, facing Bryant and Indiana on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 20-21 at the Boss Tennis Center.

Both matches this weekend can be watched live on the Ivy League Digital Network (ILDN).

All four of Dartmouth's matches this month will be played at home. Next weekend, it will host Binghamton (Jan. 27) and South Carolina (Jan. 28) before hitting the road for the first time this season to face Minnesota (Feb. 3) and Iowa (Feb. 5).

The Big Green will return to Hanover for a pair against TCU (Feb. 10) and SMU (Feb. 11) before playing in the ECAC Winter Championship at Princeton (Feb. 17-19). Dartmouth will end the month by hosting Memphis (Feb. 24).

March always proves to be a busy travel month for Dartmouth, and this year is no different. During their spring break, the Big Green will play five matches in the span of a week in Texas and Louisiana, facing the likes of Abilene Christian (March 17), Rice (March 18), LSU (March 21), Tulane (March 22) and South Alabama (March 24).

After returning from Louisiana, Ivy League play will start and just seven matches will separate Dartmouth from the end of the regular season. The Green will host Harvard (April 1) and Yale (April 7) and will head out for one against Brown on the road (April 9) before returning home to take on Cornell and Columbia (April 15-16). Penn and Princeton (April 22-23) on the road will cap the regular season for Dartmouth.
