After a disappointing start to its season, the Big Green--which dealt Harvard a heartbreaking 2-1 loss last season to win the league crown--has risen to the No.25 spot in the national rankings. And although it has no chance at the Ivy title this year, Dartmouth will be geared to knock off the Crimson to solidify a spot in the NCAA tournament.
After the Big Green, Harvard will travel to Brown for its season finale. With a win in either game, the Crimson will assure itself of at least a share of the league title. The team realizes, though, that the road ahead is far from easy, but it feels confident in its chances.
"Dartmouth is the best 7-6 team in the country, and playing at Brown is always tough," Wheaton said. "But we feel that we can play with anyone in the country."
