NEW HAVEN, Conn. --  The Bulldogs last weekend clinched their third Ivy League title in the last four seasons, and also earned the right to host the conference tournament beginning Friday.  

The no.1-seed Bulldogs will face 4th-seeded Dartmouth on Friday at 7 p.m.  No. 2 Princeton will face No. 3 Brown at 4 p.m. 

The winner of the four-team, single-elimination tournament will earn an automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament.  

The Bulldogs received honors from the conference this week.  Five Bulldogs earned All-Ivy status on Thursday and Yale head coach Erin Appleman was named Ivy League Coach of the Year.
