“Our seniors are stepping up and having great seasons, which is particularly rewarding as many have overcome significant injury and illness issues in their careers.”
Senior goaltender Meghan Kennedy turned in a stellar performance, but two late Columbia goals doomed the Red’s hopes for a win to start Ivy League play.
“The team struggled with establishing possession and moving the ball out of our defensive third, especially in the second half, so that is something we will look to improve upon heading into Ivies.”
Cornell hoped to snap a three-game losing streak this weekend, but its 0-2 Binghamton defeat instead extended it to four — hampering the team’s hopes to finish the year in the top half of the Ivy League.
“I couldn’t be happier with how the freshmen are playing right now. They are big and physical so they are adding an entire new dimension to drills and play.”
The Red has had three meets thus far at which it competed against its Ivy League rivals.
“In a few short weeks of racing and being on the water we’ve already seen tremendous improvements in our strength and skill.”
Cornell qualified for a spot at the USAG Collegiate National Championships, where the team hopes to close out its season on a high note.
Despite a middling finish, the team earned its third highest score of the season as it prepares for ECAC and NCAA competition.
he Red crowned an ECAC champion, had an ECAC runner up, set two freshman records, broke a school record and placed three athletes on program top-10 lists.
