The Cornell women’s lacrosse team is relieved to be able to stay at home this weekend after opening its season with two consecutive weekends on the road. The Red comes into this weekend with an undefeated 2-0 record after dismantling Colgate and Rutgers to kick off its 2008 campaign.
The Red will welcome Hofstra to Ithaca this afternoon before kicking off its Ivy League season tomorrow at 4 p.m. against Columbia.
Senior defender Amanda Linnertz explained that the team is excited for the opportunity to play at Schoellkopf Field in front of friends, family and fans. The players take pride in protecting their home field and gain a little extra motivation for games here at Cornell.
