Cornell got the scoring started early, but lost to Syracuse in overtime.
“We want this to be a place where people don’t want to play us,” said sophomore defender Jonah Kagen of Cornell’s home turf.
“There is so much energy and excitement,” sophomore outside back Jonah Kagen said. “We want [teams to fear] coming to play at our house.”
The teams went into overtime tied 1-1, each side growing more confident in its attacks. Both sides traded chances in the first five minutes, with the game looking like it could end in either team’s favor. On Monday, freshman Will Citron was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week for his clutch performance.
John Smith said he hopes to rely on his team’s depth in 2019.
Head coach John Smith — who, in three years, has led the team from a 1-14-2 record to 11-6 — coached Cornell to a fourth-place Ivy finish last season. This year, preseason polls project the Red to finish at third in the conference.
The Red beat Columbia in overtime to earn a win in its final game of the season.
With one match to go, Cornell looks to end its successful season with a victory over Columbia.
“Unfortunately, we had a poor start to the overtime period and we paid the penalty for it.”
