Women’s soccer kicks off its season this weekend against Lehigh.
“[The win] was a culmination of all of the hard work our team has been putting forward the past few seasons, and shows the strides we have made this year,” St. John said. “Even though we went down 1-0 in the beginning of the game, everyone played their part of fighting back to the 2-1 win.”
“Brown has been one of the top teams in the Ivy League for my four years here at
Cornell, and this year was no different,” said senior midfielder Sara DeGraw. “We knew the game was going to be physical and fast-paced, so our mindset and play had to match up with the demand.”
Before a scoreless draw against Yale, Women’s soccer honors the nine seniors on senior day.
Women’s soccer had a 1-1 final against Penn this past Saturday.
Women’s soccer is looking to put together a winning season this year.
After a long-awaited return to normal collegiate soccer, the Red’s low win total does not tell the whole story.
After close loss to dominant Princeton, Cornell women’s soccer is set to face Dartmouth at home on Saturday for the last game of the season.
The first half started off as a back-and-forth marathon, with the squads trading possessions and testing their endurance. The Red’s defense, anchored by senior goalkeeper Miranda Iannone, held strong, limiting Brown to only one shot on goal for the first 15 minutes of the match.
“It’s not always linear,” said junior goalkeeper Nicole Shulman. “We’re not better every time we play, but I think generally from the start of our season until now it’s been insane and watching from the side line it’s been clear cut right in front of me.”
