After a historic season, men’s soccer falls in the NCAA Sweet 16 to Syracuse.
As citizens of the world, Cornellians love the most popular global sport: soccer. Some of our first memories are on the field. I started playing aged four and grew up dribbling past opponents, tackling heavy-set forwards and scoring to the applause of my family on the sidelines. At a time of great polarization in America and abroad, the beautiful game, as it’s called, unites us, but we also need to recognize when the principles of sportsmanship are ignored for greed — that is my concern with the Qatar World Cup, which opened on Nov. 20.
Sophomore Danny Lokko scored two late goals to propel Cornell past Maryland.
Men’s soccer returns to its winning ways with a three-game win streak after defeating Dartmouth on Saturday.
Men’s soccer lost its second consecutive game on Saturday against Penn after a remarkable start to the season. The Red were able to bounce back quickly, however, with a win over Binghamton on Tuesday.
Men’s soccer starts the Ivy season strong, with a 3-2 win over Harvard.
Men’s soccer continued its fiery start to the season with a narrow win over Marist on Saturday night.
For the first time since 2018, men’s soccer has begun its season 3-0.
Sophomore forward Alioune Ka helped the Red sweep with goals in both West Coast games.
I first became interested in soccer because I’m an early riser who was looking for stuff to do on a Saturday morning. I was flipping through the channels looking for something to watch and settled on a game on NBC between Watford and Manchester United. While I could tell pretty quickly that Watford was the huge underdog in the game, I was immediately struck by the roar of their crowd.
