Add one more sport to the list of Cornell’s national powerhouse teams — squash.

Coming off a crushing defeat to Yale last week, the Cornell football team rebounded on Saturday to beat Georgetown 45-7 on the road, the third straight victory over a Patriot League rival.

Cornell 45, Georgetown 7
The Red offense, spearheaded by a solid rushing game (252 total rushing yards), put up seven touchdowns — three of which came courtesy of senior running back Luke Siwula. Siwula finished the game with 93 yards, bumping him up to fifth place on the school’s all-time rushing list. Quarterback Nathan Ford 24-for-33 also produced solid numbers, passing for 201 yards and finding 12 different receivers on the field (including an 11-yard touchdown reception to sophomore wideout Nick Zerante). Cornell’s damper on Georgetown’s homecoming places the Red at 2-1.
