In a year where Penn and Princeton were supposed to fall back to the pack, it still seems to be those same two teams that are lingering around the top of the standings as they travel to Ithaca this weekend.
The Red currently paces the league with a 4-0 conference record, but the two traditional league powers are not too far behind, both maintaining 2-0 records.
With the rest of the league holding 1-3 marks — except Brown at 2-2 — this weekend could easily set the Red apart from the league or bring it back to the crowd.
“Its huge,” said sophomore forward Alex Tyler. “We started the season really well in the first two to three weeks, but with Penn and Princeton undefeated, a sweep this weekend would put us in a really good position. It would give us a little leeway.”
