“With this group, we never feel like we’re out of the game. Obviously 17 [points] is a big hole, but it’s not impossible. They keep working, and as long as we’re working, we have a shot.”
In Emily Garner’s debut as head coach of women’s basketball on Nov. 4, the team pulled off a 60-54 victory against Army West Point. Its next two games — at Rutgers and Marist — didn’t result so favorably for the Red, as it fell 72-61 and 62-56 respectively.
“They’ve had a huge impact on the program for four years,” Ferguson said. “I think [the underclassmen] will have the opportunity to come in and impress and show up. It’s a big group to be leaving.”
Coming off two road losses to Harvard and Columbia, women’s soccer (3-7-4, 2-3 Ivy League) entered its home match against Yale (8-5-1, 2-2-1 Ivy League) looking for redemption. A first half dominated by the Red yielded two goals that catapulted Cornell into a 2-1 win, its second Ivy League victory of the season. From the kickoff, the Red’s offense took control of the match, allowing for eight shots on goal in the first half alone. A half hour into the match, senior forward Laken Gallman stopped short a kick from Yale keeper Anna Shamgochian, setting up sophomore forward Alanna Colbert for the opening score. “Alanna’s grown well this season,” said head coach Rob Ferguson.
