No. 16 Men’s soccer (12-2-2, 5-2 Ivy) closed out its regular season schedule with a convincing 4-1 senior night victory over Columbia (1-12-1, 1-5-1 Ivy) on Saturday at Berman Field. In the 13th minute, sophomore forward Alex Harris opened the scoring. A ball on the ground from junior midfielder Daniel Samways came all the way through the box, untouched by Columbia defenders. Harris took a one-time shot and found the corner to give Cornell a lead it would maintain for the rest of the game.

“Game Changers” Colbert and Gallman Lead Women’s Soccer to Victory Over Yale

By Alexis Rogers and Sports Department | October 22, 2024

Coming off two road losses to Harvard and Columbia, women’s soccer (3-7-4, 2-3 Ivy League) entered its home match against Yale (8-5-1, 2-2-1 Ivy League) looking for redemption. A first half dominated by the Red yielded two goals that catapulted Cornell into a 2-1 win, its second Ivy League victory of the season. From the kickoff, the Red’s offense took control of the match, allowing for eight shots on goal in the first half alone. A half hour into the match, senior forward Laken Gallman stopped short a kick from Yale keeper Anna Shamgochian, setting up sophomore forward Alanna Colbert for the opening score. “Alanna’s grown well this season,” said head coach Rob Ferguson.
