Cornell soccer 2024

Cornell is trailing 2-1 at Albany and Harris just put one off the crossbar from the spot with a little over 20 minutes to go. Ugh.

And just as I hit send, Harris ties it up!

The crossbar stole the win from us a couple times. Albany isn't a terrible team so can't get too worked up over a game like that. At least we stay undefeated and come home now.

2-2 final. Aiden Martin hit the crossbar/post off a gorgeous play with about 5 minutes left, and Cornell controlled most of the last 30 minutes. But not our best performance for sure. Albany played tenaciously and had some skill. I think this was our first game this season on artificial turf, and we clearly struggled adjusting to the speed of the ball on the carpet.

We put another shot off the crossbar with five minutes left and the game ends in a 2-2 tie. (I thought I sent this before lol)

Cornell remained unbeaten with a 3-0 win Tuesday night over Bucknell. We outshot Bucknell, 22-1, including a 10-0 edge in SOG. No goals for Harris, although he did assist on our final goal. Two goals for Alioune Ka. I didn't watch the game, but based upon comments from the Cornell coach, it sounds like stellar play from the Bucknell goalie kept it a 1-0 margin until late in the second half.

Yeah Bucknell's keeper was really good. Bucknell never even had a chance so it was an easy win. I do think our finishing needs work though, Harris had a fantastic chance that he sent straight at the goalies feet and we had 10 high quality shots on goal to just 3 goals. The last goal also came with just 5 seconds to go and it was 1-0 the majority of the game so I need to see them build safer leads earlier against bad teams.

True, but in the 1st half Harris had what looked like a sure goal that the Bucknell goalie got a hand on and deflected it off the post. What was encouraging last night is that Bucknell isn't a terrible team and yet they never got close to a real dangerous scoring chance.

1-0 win over UMBC. Definitely could've had 3 or so but I'll take it. It hasn't beed obvious yet because our defense has been good and we've been playing weaker teams but friedberg is the real deal.

Big win there. Syracuse isn't particularly good this year but they're well coached team and it's never going to be easy to go up there and get a win.

1-0 final

sweet! We're now up to 14 in RPI while Penn, after losing to (9) @VCU and tying (193) @Villanova, has fallen to 21. Penn State and Syracuse aren't great this year, but as it stands they're both top-quadrant wins and we don't get a lot of those opportunities. Add in the tie against Georgetown - with all three games on the road - and you can see why our RPI has gone up so high. Aside from Penn we don't have anyone else in the top 100 but the tie at (150) Albany means I'm not counting my chickens yet.
