HANOVER, N.H. – With another season only days away, the Ivy League released its annual preseason poll and the Dartmouth women's soccer team is tabbed to finish in the same spot where they finished in 2017.

Coming in second place were last year's runners up Columbia with 100 points, the Lions came away with the remaining first-place vote. Rounding out the poll was Brown (89), not far behind was Yale (87), followed by Harvard (67), Penn (53), Dartmouth (35) and Cornell (18).

"This is going to be another exciting Ivy League season," said head coach Ron Rainey. "we are looking forward to challenging for a championship"

Dartmouth returns three All-Ivy League selections from last fall in senior midfielder Remy Borinsky, sophomore midfielder Erin Kawakami and sophomore defender Bonnie Shea.
