Cornell field hockey closes out the fall on the road against Dartmouth at noon tomorrow. The Red's final contest of the season will determine its overall standing in the Ivy League as beating the Green would tie both Cornell (9-5, 3-3 Ivy) and Dartmouth (9-7, 4-2 Ivy) at the third spot.

While Dartmouth will be looking to carry the momentum of its recent three-game winning streak, the Red has come away victorious in its last three meetings versus the Green and looks to leave Hanover, N.H., on a high note after a tough loss to Princeton last Saturday.

The seniors hope to end their collegiate field hockey experience with a win to boast a career record of (38-26, 19-9 Ivy) to match the 2009 graduates for the most wins of any class in program history. In addition, a Red triumph would provide head coach Donna Hornibrook with her fourth season of leading Cornell to double digits in the win column.
