Houston Astros’ assistant general manager Brandon Taubman ’07 is under fire after making seemingly pointed remarks to three female reporters on Saturday night regarding a player on his pennant-winning ball club who previously violated Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy.
Despite winning by a four-goal margin, some shaky plays and missed opportunities also demonstrated room for improvement. Here are some takeaways from the tilt.
The Red dropped its fourth straight contest against a Colgate team that had previously lost its first seven games of 2019.
“You can’t have three good quarters and one bad in a game of football.”
“[We have a] next man up mentality,” Weber said of losing players mid-game. “It doesn’t matter who goes down. We got guys prepared.”
Peters, who played in nine games in his sophomore campaign, already has 782 yards throughout his Cornell career, putting him on track to reach 1,000 this year. 455 of those came last season. Reaching that milestone would make him the 24th Cornell receiver to do so in the program’s 131-year history.
Head coach John Smith — who, in three years, has led the team from a 1-14-2 record to 11-6 — coached Cornell to a fourth-place Ivy finish last season. This year, preseason polls project the Red to finish at third in the conference.
Ben Honis’s final year of NCAA eligibility will be spent as a linebacker with his hometown Orange.
With the 63rd pick, incoming freshman forward Matthew Stienburg went to the Colorado Avalanche. 117 picks later, the Vancouver Canucks selected freshman forward Jack Malone in the sixth round.
Cornell’s lightweight crew proved itself worthy of the top spot in the nation with a decisive win over Princeton.
