Men's Soccer 2022

Cornell wins against a good Maryland team that didn't really get going until the 2nd half. Defense held strong until the goals came and Friedberg was a big part of that although he couldn't get the shutout. On to the winner of Penn/Syracuse

Penn-Cuse 1-1 in OT

[dbilmes]

This is only the third time in history of program that Cornell has won 14 games.

Congrats and on to beating Syracuse.

[Al DeFlorio]

Cornell at Syracuse Sunday at 2. 7 of the 16 seeds have been defeated.

[ugarte]

Some wild results already. The 2, 4, 6 and 8 seeds were all eliminated before the QF. All three of the QF teams so far are unseeded. Of the 8 paths to the QF, we are one of three that has two seeded teams.

[mountainred]

One of those unseeded teams is Vermont, who is waiting for the Red/Orange winner.

Looks like a distinctly uncomfortable day. Syracuse had the run of play in the first part of the first half, but Cornell started serving some balls in behind their defense in the latter part. Shots 7–3 'Cuse.

Cornell has had two corners, and, although nothing really came of them, corners on a day like this are enormously dangerous. If I were the Cornell coach, I might try to encourage players to make some extending runs down the wings to play into the willingness of the Syracuse D to give up corners. It's natural to try (like Syracuse is) to force the ball up the middle in these conditions, since shots from out in front of the goal are very dangerous for keepers with bad footing, even when taken from a bit further out than normal. But if they're going to give you corners, take 'em.

My feeling is that this game will open up pretty quickly in the second half. For whom? Don't know. But if one of the teams puts in a goal, I think that'll start a flood in that team's direction as the other team starts playing a bit desperately. Bad to have to try too hard in sloppy conditions.

Still scoreless 10 minutes into the 2nd half, but Syracuse dominating possession. Friedberg with a great save to keep it scoreless.

And that's why you don't want to give up a bunch of corners.

Yep, we had another great chance off the corner, then SU with a great individual effort on the counter to take a 1-0 lead. We have 6 minutes to try to extend the season.

[scoop85]

We pushed at the end, but never a great chance as SU wins 1-0. SU was the more athletic and stronger team, but we had some chances, especially Kingii's header off a corner that caught the post.

Cuse is an excellent team, and certainly a threat to win it all, although next week they have to get past a very good Vermont squad.
