GENEVA, N.Y.—With a wintry forecast Tuesday, the Hobart College lacrosse team will host the Dartmouth College Big Green on Stiles Field in the Poole Family Dome at 3 p.m. March 7.
Capacity of the Poole Family Dome is limited by fire code, so there will be no general admission to Saturday's game. Spectators will be limited to people on the teams' official pass lists.
The game will be broadcast live on
WHWS-FM (105.7 in Geneva). Fans can watch the contest on
HWS All-Access and track the action with

Hobart (3-2) is coming off a 14-12 win at Robert Morris on Saturday. The Statesmen got a seven-point performance from junior attackman
Anthony Dattellas against the Colonials.
Dartmouth (3-0) remained unbeaten with an 11-8 win over Siena on Saturday. First-year midfielder Emmett Paradine led the Big Green's offense with four goals.
The game will be the 13th all-time meeting between the programs with Dartmouth holding a 7-5 series lead. It will be just the second time the teams have played since Hobart moved to Division I in 1995. On March 23, 1996, the Statesmen defeated the Big Green 14-9 in the Carrier Dome in Syracuse.
