The Cornell volleyball team had a chance to face the New England duo of Brown University and Yale University again this weekend. This time around, the Bears and the Bulldogs came to the Red’s home turf in Newman Arena. “Yale and Brown are the most opposite teams in the Ivy league so preparation for both matches was very different,” said head coach Trudy Vande Berg. “Yale is physical and we needed to match that and we did for the first four sets. Brown is a scrappy team and they aren’t as physical but they are great volleyball players.”

Yale, currently in third place in the Ivy League standings, came into the match with a 5-3 conference record.

After a back and forth first half, Cornell (10-5, 4-1 Ivy) and Brown (6-8, 1-4 Ivy) were both playing solid field hockey, as the score was tied at 1-1. Both teams were moving the ball well and had chances to take the lead. However, sophomore forward Krysten Mayers stepped up and allowed for Cornell to break away with a goal. Cornell never looked back, adding four more goals in a resounding 6-1 win. Mayers has been dominant for the Cornell offense this season leading the scoring right behind senior captain and defender Marisa Siergiej.

Starting 0-5 can weigh on a team. It can cause athletes to lose faith and give up. It can demoralize players. But sophomore safety Nick Gesualdi believes that has not happened to the Cornell football team. “We’re doing our best to block the record out,” Gesualdi said.
