Minimalism, maximalism, perfectionism — what power can an idea, or a concept, hold over a piece of artwork? I’d like to draw a geographical triangle to represent these concepts, or schools of thought: from the Southern Tier in Binghamton, to the top of the Finger Lakes in Rochester, connected by a corner in the jewel of Western New York, Buffalo.
A collaboration between the University and State University of Binghamton — funded by the National Institutes of Health — further researched the effects of food grade nanoparticles.
“It makes me proud to have had all of these guys with us for this long — it is a brutal sport and you don’t always get the rewards if you’re not starting,” said head coach Rob Koll.
Despite fielding a roster in which 21 of the team’s 28 players are underclassmen, youth proved to be an asset — not a liability — in the Red’s season opening defeats of Binghamton and St. Francis.
Cornell women’s swimming and diving just began its competitive season for the year this past weekend against Binghamton University. The women representing the Red put in a dominant display in the pool to best the Binghamton competitors, winning the meet, 173-114. Both the diving team and swimmers put on excellent performances to open up their first season under new head coach Patrick Gallagher. The Cornell divers had quite the showing against the Binghamton Bearcats, earning the top four scores in both the 1-meter and 3-meter dive events. Diving head coach Veronica Ribot-Canales said she is excited about the talent she is coaching this season.

This weekend, Cornell was host to Binghamton, Seton Hall and Loyola University of Chicago. On Friday, Binghamton came to Newman Arena for the first match of the Invitational. The Bearcats entered the match with a 3-6 record, and the Red looked to even out their record with a win, coming in at 3-4. Cornell (4-6) and Binghamton (3-11) were neck and neck in the first set. Tied at 23-23, the Red pulled ahead for the win with two huge blocks from freshman Maddy Sroufe and junior Macey Wilson.
The women’s soccer team could not utilize its home field advantage and went without a win this weekend, earning instead a scoreless tie against Binghamton on Friday and a 3-1 loss to Niagara on Sunday.
“I thought we played good soccer but it was disappointing because we made some rookie mistakes that caused us to give up goals. We really showed inexperience,” said head coach Danielle LaRoche.
The women’s soccer team starts off its season this weekend, playing host to Binghamton today, and then traveling to face Niagara on Sunday.
“We are just excited to play,” said junior co-captain Lena Russomagno. “After preseason, after practicing a lot, we are just excited to get out there and show what we’ve got and show what we’ve been doing in practice.”
The Red’s first matchup will be against Binghamton, a team that’s coming off a pair of losses last weekend at Delaware and Saint Joseph’s. Binghamton edges out Cornell in the series between the teams, 1-0-1, and tied Cornell the last time the two teams met, back in 2004.
The baseball team will need a short memory and some long underwear for today’s game. The Red (4-16, 2-6 Ivy) will host the Binghamton Bearcats (9-10). Cornell will try to move past the disappointment of last weekend, which saw the team lose four crucial games to conference foes. In order for the Red to have a chance to break its losing streak, the weather must give the team a chance to play. Ithaca is expected to see snow and temperatures in the 30s today.
“We have a pretty good chance of playing tomorrow, especially with the turf field,” said senior shortstop Scott Hardinger. “Assuming that there’s no snow or heavy rain, we should be able to play.”
Cold weather is nothing new to the Red.
The shooting in Binghamton that left the small city reeling in its wake has a connection to the neighboring Cornell community.
Teacher Roberta King, who was killed inside the American Civic Association while substituting for an English as a Second Language class, left behind 17 grandchildren, including Ilisa Naukam ‘09. King was the mother of 10 children, five of whom went to Cornell, according to the Associated Press.
