PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Brown women's lacrosse team will host Dartmouth this Sunday, March 27 at 1 p.m. at Stevenson-Pincince Field.
The Bears will be looking to start Ivy League play 2-0 for the first time since the 2014 season, while the Big Green will be attempting to pick up their first Ivy victory of the year. Both teams are coming off matchups against nationally-ranked competition as Brown fell to No. 6 Stony Brook and Dartmouth dropped a contest to No. 4 Northwestern.
The game will be broadcast on ESPN+ and NESN+. It will serve as Brown's Youth Day, with kids 12 and under receiving free admission to the game. Additionally, both the men's and women's lacrosse programs are leading a Mental Health Awareness Weekend at the Center for Lacrosse & Soccer, aimed at de-stigmatizing mental health care in our community.
