"We believe our non-conference schedule will prepare us for another very competitive Ivy League season,” said Martin. “We welcome the challenges that await us this year. Our three fellow Division 1 programs in Rhode Island are all rapidly improving and we look forward to playing Providence, URI, and Bryant. Returning to Chicago to play Northwestern will be great for senior All-Ivy Sean McGonagill as well as all the Brown Alumni in the Midwest."
