On a cold afternoon at Berman Field, the Red closed the book on a disappointing season with a 2-1 loss to Columbia and a nine-game losing skid. Freshman midfielder Samantha Weiner scored late in the first half to answer an early Columbia goal before Ashley Mistele countered, giving Columbia (8-5-4, 3-3-1 Ivy) the 2-1 lead that it held onto for the entire second half.
The Cornell (4-12, 0-7) defensive unit wilted under the pressure of Columbia’s five-forward attack early in the game, as Columbia senior standout Gudrun Finnsdottir took off down the sideline and crossed it to a waiting Liz deBerardinis, who finished by shooting from her left foot to the opposite side of the goal, past defender-turned-goalkeeper Jen Case.
