Men’s Soccer Falls to Providence in Second Round of NCAA’sThe Dartmouth men’s soccer team lost to Providence College 3-0 in the second round of the NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Tournament on Nov. 23.

“Tonight was tough. I thought we were very good in the first half but we didn’t capitalize on our opportunities,” said head coach Chad Riley. “It is always an abrupt ending unless you are the last team standing.  It is certainly hard to process right now, but I couldn’t be prouder of our team. They have competed all year so well, and continued to grow all year.”

Dartmouth ended the season with a 12-5-2 overall record and a share of the Ivy League title.
