Lots of misery again

We got a straight red card on a foul about 10 minutes into the game, which seemed overly harsh. Princeton then scored a moment later off a corner.  Despite being down a man, we had a number of chances in the 1st half, especially an open net with about 5 minutes left but our guy Ka couldn't control the ball and tap it into the open net.

What a waste of such a talented team.

Red Card was not surprising. grabbing someone from behind when they have an unimpeded path to the goal is a red card offense.  Cornell was lucky it happened outside the box, otherwise there would have been a penalty kick awarded in addition to the red card.

With that loss to Princeton, Cornell is not just out of the NCAA top 25 but is 12 places down among the teams also receiving votes, putting Cornell (6 total points) about 37th in the mind of the NCAA coaches. Also-mention Princeton has 12. Nice while it lasted.

In its next-to-last regular season game, 11-3-1 Cornell beats 16-11 Dartmouth, 2-1 in double OT. https://cornellbigred.com/news/2021/11/6/mens-soccer-mens-soccer-bounces-back-in-double-ot-win-over-dartmouth.aspx (If those records are right, how is it Cornell has played 15 games and Dartmouith 27?) [edit add: because I read the wrong line of a stats sheet. Dartmouth is 2-11-1, .179, which adds to the sense that the last third of Cornell's season has been a letdown, 3-2 the last 5 games)

NCAA has Cornell 28th in RPI. Princeton is 70th, Yale is 69th in games through Nov. 11. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/soccer-men/d1/ncaa-mens-soccer-rpi

Dartmouth's record is more like 2-11

Probably, because Dartmouth is 2-11-1.

Cornell heading to 2OT against 1-10-4 Columbia. Columbia has almost no possession but Cornell can't buy a second goal against this goalie.

Eneli didn't play for some reason. You would think the announcers, who were never shy to tout their soccer expertise, would've found out why he didn't see the field.

Columbia only had one shot on goal all game, and it was a goal. In our loss to Yale and tie today, we dominated play, had a lot more shots and scoring chances, but couldn't finish. We had 19 shots today, including 9 on goal, but only scored once. Talent-wise, we probably had best team in Ivies this year, but don't have a title to show for it. The one goal we did score today was an amazing free kick by Tyler Bagley, who is one of the leading scorers in the country. Today's tie most likely cost us a shot at an NCAA at-large bid.
As for the announcers, they should have had something on why one of our best players didn't play at all today. They also get carried away making comparisons to famous European soccer players. But we did learn that one of the announcers was in a freshman history class with one of the Columbia players when they were in high school.

Seems like a bit of a waste of a very talented team. What does the future look like? Recruiting classes? Losing a lot of talent to graduation after this season?

RPI down to 46. Season has to be over.

We had five 5th-year seniors, including Bagley. But we have some talented underclassmen and our coach has done a great job of turning the program around. We should be an Ivy contender in the foreseeable future.

No idea if this website is particularly accurate, but it has Cornell as the 4th team out.  It seems to assume the committee will go straight down the RPI list.  Cornell has two wins against teams they project in the field, Marist and UC Santa Barbara, but they are auto-bids with RPIs below Cornell.  Otherwise, the best result is the draw with Syracuse RPI 56).  

TL/DR:  ugarte is right, the season is over.
