Dartmouth qualified for the Ivy League tournament, which began in 2023, for the first time.

The squad led by third-year Head Coach Taylor Schram has been on a tear this season. They improved to 8-3-4 overall and 3-1-2 in the Ivy with Sundayโ€™s win. Dartmouthโ€™s three conference wins are the most it has had in a season since 2018, when it had four. 

The Big Green have also picked up some historic wins in 2025. Not only did they defeat Harvard on the road for the first time in two decades in September, but they also had their first win over Columbia in 11 years earlier this month. 

One of the standouts that have made this season possible is Stephanie Lathrop. Lathrop leads the Big Green in goals with seven and assists with four. Maeve Theobald and Lykke Ihrfelt have also been good at finding the back of the net for Dartmouth, with each having four goals this season. 

Defensively, the Big Greenโ€™s goalkeeping duo of Ola Goebel and Paige Knoth has been strong. Goebel has a goals against average of just 0.35 while Knothโ€™s is at 0.77. 

The Big Green will look to end their regular season on a high note when they welcome Cornell to town on Saturday.
