“The biggest adjustment was preventing the big innings that we gave up in game one,” said assistant coach Janet Maguire. “Our pitchers were able to work their way out a few times with runners in scoring position to give our offense a chance.”
Cornell’s second-half comeback fell short in a tune-up for next weekend’s Ivy League Tournament.
Clarke Petterson’s efforts ensured that this senior day would be a memorable one for him and his 11 classmates, who played what was likely their final game at Schoellkopf.
The Red went across town Tuesday to take on Division III I.C.
In game one, the Red hit five home runs, with junior Bridgette Rooney hitting two of her own. Junior pitcher Katie Lew held Dartmouth to only five hits the entire game.
The Red dominated the 800-meter event with eight members finishing in the top ten.
Next season, the Red will return much of the same core as this season with the exception of Cen. The team expects to compete for an Ivy League title — a feat which has never been accomplished in school history.
Cornell’s No. 1-ranked lightweight rowing team defeated Columbia to reclaim the Geiger Cup in its race on Saturday at the Cayuga Lake Inlet. The two schools have gone back and forth in victories over the past seasons, with Cornell winning in odd years — 2015, 2017 and now in 2019.
Although the season is now over, the hunt for victory will not cease. The young team, being, aside from the graduating Iinuma, comprised of 5 freshmen, will continue to train and develop players’ skills, which will complement their newly-gained experience of playing at the collegiate level.
“We put ourselves in a position to win the match — we were leading the match 3-1 and leading in one of the matches,” head coach Silviu Tanasoiu said. “Unfortunately we were not able to play the key moments like we should have, we played defensively, which really cost us against Harvard.”
