After extending its winning streak to 18 with sweeps of Syracuse and Columbia last week, the softball team will play another Empire State rival today when it travels to Ithaca College. The Red will need to keep its momentum rolling into the weekend’s four-game home-and-home series with Princeton, which is tied with Cornell atop the Ivy League.
After winning its 37th straight conference game, Division III’s No. 11 Ithaca (24-6, 12-0 Empire 8) has already wrapped up its conference regular season title and will host the Empire 8 playoffs. Cornell (35-7, 15-1), on the other hand, sits in a tie for first place and is still fighting for its conference crown.
