2 minutes into the season and we’re looking great, I know we’re just playing Marist but this is encouraging already.

Johnson scores off of a corner, deflecting a shot from the top of the box. Got the first corner after putting one of the crossbar early. A second goal about 15 minutes into the period on a perfect through ball to Harris who finished clean to the goalie's right. A third on a beautiful individual effort from Ka as he broke a defender's ankles in the box and put the ball right where Harris did inside the post. 3-0 at the half. I think Freidberg had to make one save (or more accurately interfered with a good cross.)chimpfood

Yikes, Andrew Johnson gets a red. Really poor for one of our best players to do that in a game that we already have won and with a tough game against Georgetown up next that he now won’t be able to play in.

Damn. 5 minutes into the second half, after another good scoring opportunity for the team, Johnson gets a straight red card. Down a man with 40 to go and it's one of our best D men.

~32 minutes left and Marist is unsurprisingly attacking and putting a ton of pressure on. A shot in the box deflected away by a defender and another that deflected straight down from the crossbar that apparently didn't cross the line despite pleading from the Red Foxes.

Good win overall. Looking at the team, I’m very confident in our front and back lines but the midfield doesn’t seem to have the depth and talent to match. I’m hopeful for a good season and look forward to seeing how they look against a strong opponent in Georgetown next week.

Cornell ties it up 1-1 with Georgetown in the 47th minute. I would love to stream this but unfortunately I am just having to track this one on live stats.

Cornell up 3-2 on Penn state in the second half, can’t watch again because it’s not on espn plus. 2 Alex Harris goals, this would be a big win.

3-2 W, nice result. The rest of the Ivy aside from Penn is looking quite weak though so we will more than likely have to win the Ivy to make the NCAA tourney.

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.

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.

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.George64

I was one of the few Cornell fans at the game in person. We possessed the ball most of the first half, but came up empty on the scoreboard. Yale put more pressure on in the second half, leading to a sustained period of possessing the ball in our end, eventually leading to a hand ball on one of our defenders in the goal area, and the resulting penalty kick which was the game's only goal. Cornell played with desperation the last 15 minutes and had some dangerous chances but couldn't convert. Our star forward Harris had a few shots he blasted, but missed the net with, that I'm sure he'd like back.chimpfood

The good news is that Yale had advertised free Pepe's pizza for Yale students. When I got to the game, they were letting anyone who wanted some take a small personal pizza for free. Not as good as Modern, but you can't beat the price!

Cornell bounces back from losing Ivy opener to Yale by beating Dartmouth 3-0, with Harris recording a hat trick in the first half. That's eight goals for Cornell now in its last two games.

Sure, but with a team RPI of 11, even if we were to lose to Penn, if we beat the rest of the Ivies on the schedule our RPI should hold up just fine.

We totally controlled play against Colgate but we let them tie the game at 1-1 early in the second half on some poor defensive play before getting back on track. Colgate came out really packing the defensive zone, but we eventually wore them down.
The Colgate announcers were terrible. In the first half, whenever Cornell had the ball there was virtually no play-by-play with individual players being named. Half the time I couldn't tell which of our players had the ball. They also were surprised to see Colgate's backup goaltender get the start, but never were able to provide any insight into why their regular goalie wasn't playing.
They did discuss RPI at one point, nothing that Colgate's was 128 and ours was 11. Only Bucknell has a higher RPI in their league.

The language is similar across recaps for a lot of sports this fall, and there seems to be some sort of rule in the logic that they can’t use “said” when quoting someone.

In other games today everybody that we have played and everybody in the Ivy League lost so we ended up moving down in the rpi despite a dominant road win. Even Penn lost to Monmouth, hopefully the start of a losing streak as we have a huge game against them on Sunday.

Great set piece by Penn, but came as a result of a suspect foul call against us. And contrary to the announcers, I thought the Penn penalty leading to our PK goal was deserved.

That loss really hurts. I think all 3 of penn’s goals came off of crosses into the box which really reflects how our team is just too small. Friedberg also really hasn’t been impressive to me since his freshman year. RPI hasn’t updated yet but our NCAA tournament hopes are probably down to either winning out and losing too Penn in the Ivy final or just winning the Ivy tournament.

Good assessment of our weakness. Most goals against us have come off set pieces, and we do lack size on the back end which repeatedly costs us.

College soccer RPI is a funny thing. While hockey uses a 25-25-50 calculation (record, opponents record, opponents opponents record), soccer is 25-50-25. For most of the year we have been low in rpi because we had a super low strength of schedule based on opponents record. But since Penn has a really strong record, we didn’t fall very far down even after the loss today. This makes me hopeful that a strong regular season finish and meeting Penn in the Ivy playoffs should be enough to get us in to the NCAA. I would be very curious to see what the RPI would look like if it were 25-25-50 and see if that seems like it rewards better teams more than the current system.

Ka with a second half goal for a 1-0 win. Brown had a very good chance off a throw-in with around 15 minutes left and then a very good Cornell save in the corner with 3 minutes left preserved the win. RPI instant reaction: from 23 to 22.ugarte

That win is big for the Ivy standings, not the rpi. Long as we win out the regular season it seems like we should be good for NCAAs.

We have our final two games at home, and winning one of those games should get us into the Ivy Tournament, where hopefully we can turn the tables on Penn if we play them. We play Harvard next week, and they are battling Dartmouth and us for the final two spots in the Ivy tourney. We finish against Columbia, which is 1-3-1 in the Ivies and 1-10 overall. Meanwhile, Dartmouth and Harvard play each other the final weekend, with the loser most likely missing out on the Ivy Tournament.
The 1-0 loss at Yale is a real outlier on our schedule. That is Yale's only Ivy win. We outplayed them for most of the game, but there was a stretch in the second half where we couldn't get the ball out of our own end, leading to a series of corner kicks for Yale, one of which resulted in a hand ball call on us. The ensuing penalty kick was the only goal of the game.

Again, this is meant to be a genuine question, as the extent to which I'm following the team this year is through this thread, and a few times I feel I've had whiplash checking in with what the outlook looks like for the rest of the season. Is it a combination of continuing to put up W's and getting favorable results elsewhere? Down year in some of the other conferences? Something else?
This on Sept. 28th:
chimpfood
Loss to Yale that with how bad the Ivy is pretty much puts us out of contention for an at large bid. Gotta get going in league play and win the tournament now.

Well for what it’s worth after that Yale game we only lost one (to highly ranked Penn) and got favorable results elsewhere. And the second one, we did win out it’s just we’re probably fine even if we lose in the Ivy semis and not the final now, again because of good results elsewhere. On top of all this this was my first year really following the soccer rpi and it’s heavy weight on strength of schedule still makes it really confusing to me. Because of the weak teams that we are playing results from our past opponents have literally been mattering more than our own wins which makes things hard to predict.semsox

Also a side note, immediately after our win we dropped significantly the rpi due to strength of schedule. I know that in hockey they remove wins that lower your rpi from the equation but I guess not in soccer?

Cornell dominated the Ivy Awards.
Alex Harris becomes the first Cornell player to be named Offensive Player of the Year (he was actually co-Offensive Player of the Year, sharing that honor with Penn's Stas Korzenkiowski).
Both Harris and Connor Miller were unanimous first-team All-Ivy selections. Ryan Friedberg, Andrew Johnson and Alioune Ka were also on the first team, and Aidan Martin was named the Rookie of the Year -- the third straight year a Cornell player has earned that honor.

Big game against Princeton tomorrow, we beat them away during the regular season but it was a really close game. Getting the first goal is huge during the playoffs and we’ve been good about getting it this season (it’s pretty easy when half of your games are shutouts). I think we’d have a chance of getting a bye to the second round of the NCAA even if we lose to Penn in the final so winning tomorrow would be great. But I want that Ivy title, we’re in a 12 year drought and have the fewest all time titles despite being a national contender recently.
