Projection: need to automatically qualify

Dartmouth’s resume reads like a team that will have to win the Ivy League to reach the NCAA field because its best moments — road wins at St Peter’s and at Ivy foes Harvard and Cornell plus home victories over Boston University and Princeton — show the squad can steal wins away from home but lack a marquee scalp, while its worst moments — heavy defeats at Florida, Wyoming and Colorado State and a late home drubbing by Cornell — leave the record blemished and hard for a committee to reward. Conference play has been a study in inconsistency with damaging road losses at Yale, Princeton and Penn and home setbacks to Harvard and Yale that undermine the quality of Dartmouth’s resume, so unless the team secures the league crown its collection of middling wins and a handful of ugly losses will not be enough to force the selection committee’s hand.
