Dartmouth opens the season against Centenary on Sunday, Oct. 26 at Morton Farm. It will be the first time in Dartmouth's NCEA era that the Big Green and Cyclones will face each other.

The Big Green close out the fall against Sacred Heart at Morton Farm. It will be the lone time the two teams faceoff in the regular season, last season the Big Green defeated the Pioneers twice in the regular season and once in the ECAC Single Discipline Championship.
After the winter break, Dartmouth travels to Charleston to take on the Cougars on Sunday, Feb. 15.
