Cornell scored three second-half goals to rally for a 3-1 win Tuesday night over Binghamton in its final non-league game, before closing the season with four Ivy games. If Cornell wins out (a difficult task), it has to hope that someone else knocks off Penn for Cornell to have a chance at the title. According to Coach Smith, Cornell played last night without six injured starters. Next game is Saturday at Princeton. In any case, it's Cornell's fourth straight season with at least 10 wins.

Thanks for that info. Any chance Cornell gets an at large to the tourney or is the Ivy a one-bid league?

It doesn't look like the Ivy League gets an automatic bid, since no team from the Ivy League made the tournament in 2018. I looked at the tournaments dating back to 2016, and the Ivy League never had more than one team in the field, and the Ivy team always lost in the first round. So based upon recent history, Cornell won't receive an NCAA bid unless it wins the Ivy title.

The Ivies definitely have an auto-bid. Princeton got it in 2018. It hasn't happened as much in the past 5 years, but the Ivies used to get multiple bids pretty regularly.

I was looking at this bracket, which didn't show Princeton being in the field. But upon further investigation I learned that Princeton had played Michigan in the first round, losing 11-10 on penalty kicks after the teams played to a 1-1 tie. Even though the bracket I originally looked at listed the games as first-round games, they were actually second-round games,

This projection has Cornell and Penn in and Yale as the first team out. I suspect the RPI in the closing games is more likely to hurt than to help Ivy league teams but still, the Ivies putting two in the top 10 says something about our schedule.

NB: It says that Cornell is the projected champ but that's based on RPI, not on league standings where we obviously trail 3-0 Penn.

Keep scrolling on that first bracket, below where it shows Maryland as the champion. The layout is bad and it's not obvious that there is an upper half and a lower half to the bracket.

Isn't it bad enough that Maryland is so good in lacrosse? Now soccer too! Fuck Maryland!

The men's soccer team raised its record to 8-1 on the road and stayed in second place in Ivies with a 3-1 win at Princeton. Morales and Kiingi teamed up for all three Cornell goals. There was a strange play late in game when it looked like Princeton might have scored to cut out lead to 3-2, as the players on both teams momentarily stopped play. But the ref never signaled a goal, and it was inconclusive on the TV replay. The biggest play came when we scored our third goal less than a minute after Princeton had scored to cut Cornell's lead to 2-1. The strangest play came after Princeton scored, when one of their players went into the Cornell goal to grab the ball, and a Cornell player took offense. Somehow, the Princeton player ended up getting a yellow card.
Penn remained unbeaten in Ivy play with a 1-0 win over Brown. Cornell has to hope that Princeton (or someone else) can upset Penn in the next three weeks while Cornell takes care of its business. Next up is Dartmouth at home next Saturday. Dartmouth moved into third place with a 1-0 win over Columbia.

Watched this. While concededly the Cornell player should have just let the Princeton guy grab the ball, I think the Tiger got flagged because while there was a tussle for the ball it seemingly ended with a football tackle to get the ball back (though it is also possible that their feet just got tangled up).

Cornell is ranked as the 13 seed, potentially, by the NCAA, as of the week of Oct. 28. Per Cornell: https://cornellbigred.com/news/2022/10/28/mens-soccer-mens-soccer-tabbed-no-13-in-ncaa-mens-soccer-committee-top-16.aspx  Forty-eight D1 schools make the playoffs; 23 get AQs and 25 are at-large. The tournament field will be announced Monday, Nov. 14, at 1 p.m.

Cornell beats Dartmouth 2-1 and Penn falls to Harvard 3-2, so Cornell and Penn are tied at the top of the Ivy League.

The Big Red is still flying high in RPI at 5.

Judging by that site, it seems like there's a reasonable chance of greater than one Ivy school being in the NCAA's depending on what happens the next two weekends

based on that site i wonder if there would be 3 if we lose to yale

Instead of starting a new thread, it's worth noting that the women's soccer team beat Princeton for the first time since 1995. That's quite a drought!
