UNH impoved its record to 4-0 by beating Dartmouth, 42-6, on Sept. 27. The UNH program is off to its best start since 2006, when the Wildcats won their first five games. The 1977 UNH team opened the season with seven consecutive victories.

UNH will face William & Mary on Saturday (noon) at Cowell Stadium.
