Tomorrow, Harvard and Dartmouth will swap locations. “You’ve got the top four teams playing head-to-head,” Donato said, adding, “rivalry games are never void of energy or passion.” Only two weeks of regular-season play remain, and Harvard is currently tied for fourth in the league with St. Lawrence with 21 points.
