While Cornell did defeat Penn, it lost a 2-0 lead against Princeton and its first-place spot in the conference standings.
The Red’s second outing against the Lions mirrored its first matchup as it picked up another clean victory.
Cornell’s winning streak finally came to an end with a 3-1 loss to Yale.
Cornell’s winning streak stands at 10 games after two more wins over Ivy League opponents.
Cornell extended its winning streak to eight games as it defeated both Princeton and Penn on the road.
“We came out a little sloppy in that first set, and this team decided they didn’t want it that way. They really took control of the match … it was easy to coach.”
Cornell is 7-2 heading into a long stretch of Ivy League contests.
On Saturday, Cornell first swept Utah State University with a 3-0 defeat. They won 25-13, 25-21, and 25-11 in each of the three sets. Sophomore outside Madison Baptiste and senior middle blocker Jada Stackhouse had 12 and eight kills, respectively.
“We had a lot of fight … We had that sense of urgency,” said senior outside hitter Samanta Arenas. “We all kind of stepped up. We were all working hard to play our roles.”
The players came back to campus immediately ready to get back into the swing of things this fall. The team’s drive is demonstrated in its intense preseason practices and in the work the players have put in over the summer.
