Evdkoimov is a three-time Ivy League champion in both the 100 and 200 breaststroke.
After a postponed game against Albany, the Red will take on the No. 5 Trojans at a neutral site in Boston with an opportunity to show its true potential.
Cornell women’s lacrosse took care of business last weekend with a dominant 13-6 victory over the Colgate Raiders. The defending Ivy League champs travel down to New York City to resume conference play against Columbia.
“We were definitely really happy to beat Brown, especially because before the final day it was still very close.
“We certainly weren’t perfect, but overall we performed at our highest level all year and that is what we planned for.”
“[We have been] paying even more attention to detail and focusing on putting everything together to get as close to a technically perfect race as possible,” senior Cari Stankaitis said. “This, in addition to our competitive drive, will help us to reach our potential at the Ivy’s.”
“We are focusing on maintaining high energy and discipline.”
The loss against Brown caps off the team’s dual-meet schedule with a 4-6 overall record and 2-5 Ivy record.
Looking to go .500 on the year, the women take on Brown this weekend.
The Cornell men’s swimming and diving team is looking forward to a weekend of high-level competition, although the squad will be split up. One segment of the team will travel to the Zippy Invitational in Akron, Ohio, and the rest will compete at the Bomber Invitational, closer to home at Ithaca College. “We are not able to travel our entire squad to Akron this weekend, so we will have a group of athletes competing at the Ithaca college meet this weekend also,” said head men’s swim coach Wes Newman. “Those swimmers and divers will also have a great opportunity to compete in a positive atmosphere and show the coaching staff what they are capable of. We are looking forward to seeing the performances from both Ithaca College and Akron this weekend.”
The team is looking forward to its first time at the Zippy Invite, where it expects to clock some of the fastest times of the season thus far, with the combined forces of facing strong competition and entering the competition well-rested.
