HANOVER, N.H. — The Dartmouth men's soccer team will travel for its final nonconference test against Vermont on Tuesday, October 18. The Big Green look to ride the wave of momentum from a pair of wins at home last week into their first game against a ranked opponent this season.

The Big Green last took the field on October 15 against the Yale Bulldogs. Dartmouth received goals from three different players, powering past Yale, 3-2, to pick up its first conference win of 2022. Alex van Schalkwyk, David Alino and Louis Weisdorf each found the back of the net, while Costi Christodoulou recorded his fourth win of the season.

The Big Green ride a two-game win streak into Tuesday's matchup with the Catamounts. Dartmouth has scored three goals in each of its last two matches, the first time it has recorded multiple goals in back-to-back contests.

Dartmouth heads to Burlington, Vermont for the first time since 2018. The Big Green have won seven of the last 10 meetings against the Catamounts, including last year's matchup by a score of 1-0.
