The defending Ivy League Tournament champion women's soccer team will take on Patriot League opponent Holy Cross in a non-conference contest on Thursday, Sept. 10. The Big Green made its 11th NCAA Tournament appearance last season and finished with an 11-4-4 record, along with a 4-1-2 record in Ivy play. The Crusaders will be aiming to build off a 2025 season that saw them clinch a spot in the Patriot League Tournament and compile a 6-7-6 overall record and a 3-3-3 record in conference play.

Dartmouth enters a new era under Connor Klekota, the Bobby Clark Head Coach of Men's Soccer, who was named to the position in December 2025. Klekota previously served as an assistant coach at Georgetown University, and over his eight seasons on staff helped guide the Hoyas to the 2019 NCAA National Championship, two College Cup appearances, and a run of six Big East Regular Season Championships and five Big East Tournament Championships. The University of Massachusetts went 6-6-5 in 2025 and 1-3-2 in Summit League play.

The Dartmouth football team, whose 22 Ivy titles are the most of any Ivy program, will aim to win its fifth conference championship in the past seven seasons in 2026. Sammy McCorkle, the Robert L. Blackman Head Football Coach, enters his fourth season at the helm in 2026, and Grayson Saunier and Harrison Keith were tabbed as Phil Steele Preseason All-Ivy selections. The Big Green most recently played Merrimack on Saturday, Sept. 28, 2024, in a 16-14 Dartmouth victory. In 2025, the Warriors went 4-8.
