Although the Red (2-11-1, 1-5 Ivy) lost its matchup last weekend against Princeton, the squad is hoping to utilize the strategies and tactics that it learned this season and apply them to the last game of the season.

For a midfield line, seeing its opponent’s attackers changing the momentum and bringing the ball straight at them can be daunting. The midfielders have to be confident that someone has their back. That someone is inevitably the defensive line.
The women’s soccer team’s (2-10-1, 1-4-0 Ivy) defensive line definitely has had some rough games through this long season. In fact, until last weekend, Cornell was on a stretch in which it was giving up better than three goals per game. This past weekend, though, the squad came together and demonstrated its defensive strength as it earned its first Ivy League victory of the season. The 2-0 win Sunday against Brown capped a weekend which saw the Red give up only one goal over two games. Cornell dropped a 1-0 contest to Bryant on Friday night before traveling to Brown.

Freshman forward Brook Chang has proved she is no stranger to the soccer field, consistently contributing to the offensive line in her first season playing with the Red.
During her opening collegiate performance in the Oakland University match, Chang showed her notable ball-handling skills and played an important role in the Red’s victory by scoring her first goal. Since that game, Chang has taken the lead in goal scoring, making her third in last weekend’s matchup against Yale. She is tied with sophomore forward Lena Russomagno as the highest point grabber on the team, with six this season.
