After storming out to a perfect 4-0 start on the season, the women’s lacrosse team came crashing back down to earth with three losses in the past week. The Red traveled to Tennessee and suffered defeats to Vanderbilt and New Hampshire, 15-6 and 10-9 respectively, before returning to Ithaca and falling to Ivy rival Penn, 7-6.
Cornell (4-3, 1-1 Ivy) blitzed to a quick 2-0 lead against Vanderbilt off of goals from sophomore attacker Kathryn Dewey and senior midfielder Katherine Simmons. Simmons finished with three goals and senior attacker Courtney Farrell was held to one goal and one assist.
