Big Green Picked 7th in Ivy League Preseason Poll

HANOVER, N.H. – The Dartmouth field hockey team was picked seventh in the 2018 Ivy League Preseason Poll announced Tuesday afternoon.

The poll was conducted by a contingent of 16 from across the Ivy League.

Once again, Princeton was picked No. 1 as they have won the league title nine times in the last 10 years, while Harvard — last season's runner-up at 6-1 — was picked second and earned two first-place votes.

The Big Green will look to build on a 2-5 mark in league play from a year ago to make a jump in the standings.

The 2018 campaign gets underway Friday in Iowa against the 20th-ranked Hawkeyes, while the Ivy slate kicks off Sept. 22 at Princeton. Dartmouth's Ivy opener is the following week (Sept. 29) against Brown at noon.

All Big Green field hockey home games and Ivy League road games will be carried on ESPN+ this season.

Princeton (14) 126 points
Harvard (2) 112 points
Penn 87 points
Columbia 75 points
Cornell 71 points
Yale 53 points
Dartmouth 35 points
Brown 20 points
