By |

The Cornell field hockey team ended the 2016 season with its fourth consecutive top-three finish in the league. The Red (10-7, 4-3) finished its fourth straight season with double digit wins. “I think our team is content with the season,” said junior co-captain Sam McILWrick. Senior co-captain Sam Weeks agreed. “It was not our most winning season during my four years, but I think the team experienced a culture change and growth that will definitely show in the seasons to come,” he said.

Field Hockey Focused on an Improved 2017 Campaign With Just Two Games Left

By |

Cornell’s field hockey team is looking to finish off its last two games of the season strong. So far, the Red has posted an 8-7 record including a 2-3 Ivy League record. The team is currently ranked 39th in the NCAA Division I standings and fourth in the Ivy League, two places lower than where the women finished off last year’s season. It may not have been the season Cornell expected, but the women are learning from their mistakes and continuing to move forward, according to junior co-captain Sam McILwrick. “The season has been challenging,” McILwrick said.“We haven’t gotten the results we’ve wanted but I’m also really proud of the team.”

Head coach Donna Hornibrook said she agrees, commenting that the year has been a bit of a roller coaster.
