The women’s soccer team pushed Saturday night’s game against Dartmouth into overtime. The Green delivered the last goal, however, leaving the Red with a 3-2 loss in its last game of the season.

Coming into the final stretch of the season, the women’s soccer team is hoping to end the season on a winning note as it faces Dartmouth tomorrow afternoon on Berman Field. This will be the final opportunity for this team to play together, as senior Whitney Stich will play her last match for the Red tomorrow. 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.

The women’s soccer team will play its final game of the season this Saturday when it takes on Dartmouth at home. This game is also Senior Day, an event in which fans and fellow teammates will recognize the lone senior on the Red’s roster — Whitney Stich — in her last collegiate match.

This Halloween weekend was rough for the women’s soccer squad, as Princeton gave no treats to Cornell, with Tigers’ freshman Alissa Boddie earning her first hat trick of her career. The Cornell’s women’s soccer struggled in its matchup against Princeton, as it fell 4-0 on Saturday night at Berman Field. This loss sends the Red to 2-11-1 overall and 1-4 for Ivy League play, while the Tigers gained more momentum as they propelled to 11-2-2 for the season and 4-1-1 in Ivy League action.

Trying to capitalize on the momentum and confidence earned in last weekend’s shutout against Brown, the women’s soccer team will use similar strategies and tactics this weekend. Cornell faces the Princeton tomorrow night at Berman Field, the Red’s second to last homegame. The Tigers are currently second in the Ivy League.

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.

The women’s soccer team traveled to Rhode Island this weekend for a series of matches, losing to Bryant before picking up the squad’s first Ivy win of the year against Brown. After suffering a disappointing loss to Bryant (4-9-3) on Friday afternoon, Cornell amped up its energy yesterday afternoon to defeat Ivy foe Brown (5-6-4, 1-3-1 Ivy) and run its record to 2-10-1 (1-4-0 Ivy) for the season.

The will Red travels out of state this weekend to play two games in Rhode Island. The team will take on Bryant today and Brown on Sunday.

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.

The women’s soccer team could not utilize its home field advantage on Saturday and fell to Yale, 3-1. While the Red (1-9-1, 0-4 Ivy) has been largely unsuccessful in Ivy play, the Bulldogs (7-5-1, 2-2) have been on the rise, winning their last two games.
