Dartmouth men's lacrosse faced a significant challenge on April 4, 2026, as they hosted No. 18 Yale on Autism Awareness Day at Scully-Fahey Field. The Big Green opened the scoring early with Emmett Paradine netting his seventh goal of the season just 1:28 into the game. However, Yale quickly responded, scoring four consecutive goals to establish a 4-1 lead by the end of the first quarter. Paradine added a second goal in the second quarter, and after a brief back-and-forth, Dartmouth narrowed the gap to 5-4 with goals from William Stahl and Nick Moore. Unfortunately for the Big Green, Yale regained control, ending the half with an 8-4 lead. Despite a strong start to the third quarter with goals from Stahl and Thomas Vandenberg, Dartmouth could not sustain the momentum. Yale dominated the remainder of the game, ultimately winning 18-7. This match underscored the need for Dartmouth to regroup as they prepare for their next contest, focusing on building consistency and defensive strength in the coming weeks.
