Skiing – Friday, Feb. 24 – Saturday, Feb. 25
Following a giant slalom tune-up for the alpine skiers today at Whiteface (replacing the canceled race from the St. Michael's Carnival), the ski team will compete in the EISA Championships at the St. Lawrence Carnival. The weekend itself is a tune-up for the NCAA Championships in two weeks, which will be held at the same venues — Whiteface for the alpine, Mount Van Hoevenberg for the Nordic. Dartmouth finished second last weekend at Williams with a pair of individual victories on the trails with sophomore Ava Thurston winning the 10K classic and sophomore John Steel Hagenbuch — the EISA Men's Nordic Skier of the Week — claiming the 10K freestyle. On the slopes, the Big Green rely heavily on young skiers as well with five of their top six across the men and women being freshmen or sophomores. Live timing links are available on the skiing schedule page.

Men's Ice Hockey – Friday, Feb. 24 – Saturday, Feb. 25
The Big Green make the trip to the North Country for the final weekend of the regular season. Dartmouth plays Clarkson on Friday evening at 7:30 p.m. before a Saturday night tilt with St. Lawrence. To see the full preview, please click here.

Equestrian – Friday, Feb. 24
The equestrian team returns to action for the first time since early November when the Big Green travel to Lynchburg, Virginia to face host Lynchburg at 9 a.m. then Sweet Briar at 2 p.m. Dartmouth finished the fall 1-4, including a win over Bridgewater on Oct. 29. The Big Green competed against both Lynchburg and Sweet Briar in the fall in Hanover. Links for live video and results for the Lynchburg meet can be found on the schedule page.

Women's Basketball – Saturday, Feb. 25
Dartmouth hosts Penn in the final home game of the regular season and will recognize its seniors before honoring the jersey of three-time Ivy League Player of the Year Gail Koziara Boudreaux '82. The full preview will be released on Friday.

Men's Basketball – Saturday, Feb. 25
Following a tough road weekend, the Dartmouth men's basketball team will look to bounce back on Saturday when the Big Green travel to Philadelphia to face Penn. Opening tipoff is set for 2 p.m. on ESPN+. It will mark Dartmouth's final road game, and second-to-last contest, of the regular season. The Big Green are still alive for a top four seed and berth into Ivy Madness, but it would take wins over their last two and considerable out-of-town help. To see the full preview, please click here.

Women's Golf – Saturday, Feb. 25
The women return to the links on Saturday for two rounds of stroke play at The Ford Invitational, hosted by Yale at the Ford Field & River Club in Richmond Hill, Georgia. Freshman Hope Hall led the Big Green two weeks ago at the Columbia Classic, carding an 8-over 152 in the tournament shortened to two rounds due to high winds. Dartmouth will be joined on the course by Georgia Southern, Augusta and the host Bulldogs, and each team will have six golfers to provide the top four scores for the team. Joining Hall in the lineup will be senior Samantha Yao, sophomore Claire Xu, and freshmen Iris Cao, Kim Shen and Sophie Thai.

Men's Lacrosse – Saturday, Feb. 25
The Dartmouth men's lacrosse team looks to keep the momentum going from its season-opening win when the Big Green travel to Holy Cross to face the Crusaders. Opening faceoff is set for 1 p.m. The Big Green are coming off an exciting 11-10 season-opening win at Merrimack, which saw them outscore the Warriors 4-2 in the fourth quarter, including three goals in the final 7:17 and the game-winner with 3:02 on the clock, to come away victorious. Full preview to be released on Friday.

Women's Lacrosse – Saturday, Feb. 25 + Wednesday, Mar. 1
The women's lacrosse team plays its first road game of the season with a trip down I-91 South to take on the 22-ranked UMass Minutewomen.

The Big Green will then have a quick turnaround next Wednesday with a game against Bryant at Scully-Fahey Field.

Men's Track and Field – Saturday, Feb. 25 – Sunday, Feb. 26

Miles Groom and Waleed Qadir are undefeated at 6-0 as doubles partners at the No. 1 position.
