Dartmouth seeks another trip to the Ivy League Tournament, needing a top-four finish to make it happen
HANOVER, N.H. — The Dartmouth volleyball team was picked fourth in the Ivy League preseason poll, which was announced Friday afternoon by the conference office. Dartmouth finished fourth in 2022, securing a spot in the inaugural four-team Ivy League Tournament.
Defending champion Yale was picked first with Princeton and Brown following in second and third, respectively. Harvard was below Dartmouth at fifth, while Cornell, Columbia and Penn rounded out the bottom three.
Dartmouth, which went 16-9 a season ago, is coming off its winningest season since 2011. Ellie Blain, Bomi Ogunlari and Amelia Gibbs each earned All-Ivy accolades in 2022 and are welcomed back as seniors for the 2023 campaign. Blain led the team in points per set (3.53) for a second straight season, while Ogunlari set a program record for single-season total blocks with 97.0. Gibbs hit .356 on the season in 2022 and now owns two of the three most efficient campaigns in program history, having registered a .348 clip in 2021.
The Big Green also return fifth-year setter Makenzie Arent, one of eight players in the program's history with 1,000 or more career assists. Junior Emma Engstrom recorded a team-high 4.14 digs per set last season and looks to pace the team's defensive contingent.
The season begins on Friday, Sept. 1 as the Big Green head to Baltimore for matches against Temple and Morgan State. A road date with four-time defending CAA champion Towson precedes the Dartmouth Invitational, which begins Friday, Sept. 8 and pits the Big Green against Seton Hall, Stonehill and Hofstra.
