HANOVER, N.H. – Dartmouth men's soccer heads on the road for the first time since Sept. 15 to face the University of New Hampshire. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.
Last Time Out
Men's soccer is playing well of late, winning its last two games, which included a 1-0 win over No. 18 Princeton on its home field for its second straight win over a nationally ranked program. Ediur Baldvinsson scored his third goal of the season against the Tigers, which marked his second game-winning goal of the season. It was the first goal allowed by Princeton in the Ivy regular season since 2024.
Hudson Kohler led the defensive back line that turned in its third clean sheet of the season, keeping the Princeton offense in check. For his efforts, Kohler was named Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week. The award was the first for a Dartmouth men's soccer defender since the 2023 season. In goal, TJ Jefferys made five saves, continuing his strong play.
Statistical Rankings
- Jefferys ranks third in the conference in both goals against average (.71) and total saves (23).
- Baldvinsson is tied for first in the conference with two game-winning goals and is tied for third with three total goals this season.
- As a team, the Big Green has been well disciplined on the field, having the third-fewest fouls in the Ivy and having been called for offside only four times through seven games.
