Cornell Soccer 2025

Ugh, felt like we really should've won that one in the second half. On the other hand, we gave them way too many counterattacks and corners so can't be too mad. The amount of corners given up today was very concerning, considering that's how we've given up most of our goals on the season. Our whole team besides Andrew Johnson is vertically challenged, well except for Colin Johnson but I can literally see that he's afraid to head the ball out there (because I play the same way).

Kolbl was a dog today, working his ass off and getting up for headers even with the broken nose/orbital, whatever it is.

I think we have to take Miller off the pens after his 0 for 2 start. He's by far our best player but if it's not working it's not working, unless we can get a couple low leverage pens down the stretch to get him back on track for the playoffs.

These are the games that make me feel like we would be a top 5 team in the country if we still had Harris, feels like nobody on this team can finish consistently.

Ah well, decent result overall, and Saturday is the one that really matters. I would love to be able to watch the Ivy tourney from the stands here. Plus Princeton is #1 in the RPI so a lot of room to move up there if we get get a win.

aaaaargh cornell draws a penalty against the run of play with 9 minutes left but the Akron goalie made a diving save to his right. still a scoreless tie.

Miller had a much better strike on tonight's PK than against Yale, but he's now 0 for 2 this year from the spot. I'm surprised Diakos isn't the guy getting those opportunities, but Smith knows a lot more about his team than I do.

0-0 final. even at home this was a great result.

not that big a leap in RPI to my surprise. only up to 54.

Four games against teams in the bottom 40 of RPI is a heavy anchor.  And Western Michigan was supposed to be much better.  Though the Broncos could close strong.
