The team will be also be seeking their fourth conference win against teams that have already surpassed them before this season. Following a 3-1 win over Columbia University last weekend, the Red looks strong going into the weekend. “We are definitely looking to carry our momentum from the past two games into this weekend,” said senior middle hitter Macey Wilson. “Yale and Brown are always tough to play, but I think we have a lot of confidence that will allow us to continue to play at the high level we have been.”
Freshman middle blocker Jenna Phelps agreed with her teammate on the importance of last week’s victory.
While many Cornellians used fall break to catch up on homework or spend time back home, the volleyball team was hard at work competing in a string of matches. Over the weekend, the team dueled with Ivy League competitors Princeton and Penn and the ended the competition-filled break against Binghamton on Tuesday.
While most of the campus will be enjoying a much-needed fall break, the Cornell volleyball team will be engaged in another Ivy League scuffle, gearing up to face Penn and Princeton this weekend.
