In a defensive battle, Cornell edged Penn 15-12 for its first Ivy League win of the season and its second win this year.
The Red kick off their first season in two years at 7 PM on Friday and Saturday night against Alaska Fairbanks at Lynah Rink.
In a preseason scrimmage, the Red won 2 out of 18 events, the 400-yard IM and 50-yard freestyle, against the University of Buffalo.
The men’s team dominated for first place finishes at both courses while the women’s team secured the first-place finish at UAlbany and a fifth-place finish at Penn State.
Over the past weekend, the Red barely fell to NCAA-ranked Princeton and American University in two tightly-contested games.
The men’s team placed eighth overall and the women’s team placed tenth in the competition at Lehigh University.
Fierce competition and gentle winds test Cornell’s skill as the team qualified for the ACC final on Oct. 16 and 17.
Juniors Isabella Palde and Caroline Ramsey won Ivy League Player of the Week honors as Cornell swept weekend opponents to bring record to 6-3.
The Red had a successful road trip, beating Ivy League rival Dartmouth 3-1 and Lock Haven University 1-0.
After falling to 0-2, the Red will have a chance to notch a victory against an 0-3 Bucknell Bisons team that has scored a combined 9 points through three games.
