HANOVER, N.H. — The Ivy League field hockey preseason poll was announced on Friday, which saw Dartmouth finish in eighth with 21 points. A pair of preseason nationally-ranked teams, Princeton and Harvard, finished first and second with 123 and 116 points, respectively.
Penn came in third place with 88 points followed by Cornell (81), Yale (64), Brown (43), Columbia (40) and Dartmouth (21). The Big Green dropped their seven Ivy League games last season by a total of nine goals, with the final five defeats coming by a single goal. Dartmouth looks to break through in 2023, behind a roster that features a strong mix of experience and the addition of eight talented freshmen.
Dartmouth is deep into preseason, preparing for its season opener at home on Sunday, Sept. 3 against Stonehill.
