Year

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Yale and Cornell played a memorable
game at Reese Stadium last year. Chris
Dennen's goal with 13 seconds left in the second
half lifted the Bulldogs to a thrilling 4-3 victory. The seven
goals were the most in a game for Yale since 2006. When the two
teams meet again Saturday in Ithaca, it figures to be a more
low-scoring affair. Neither the Bulldogs nor the Big Red have
allowed or scored four goals in a game this season. Kickoff at
Berman Field is slated for 7 p.m.
Yale (1-9-1, 0-2 Ivy) will be playing its third straight Ivy
League road game. The Bulldogs opened league play with a 1-0 loss
to Harvard and then dropped a 3-1 decision at Dartmouth last
Saturday. Sebastian Serra was named to the Ivy
League Honor Roll on Monday. Serra scored his first career goal
against the Big Green. At the time it tied the score at 1-1 early
in the second. Dartmouth, though, answered with two goals in a
6-minute stretch to escape with the win.
Cornell (4-3-4, 0-1-1 Ivy) is coming off a 2-0 victory over
Colgate on Tuesday night. Franck Onambele and Will Ogden scored
first-half goals and the Big Red defense made the lead stand up.
Chase Aaronson leads the team with three goals, while Jimmy Lannon
has four assists. Goalkeeper Rick Pflasterer has played every
minute of every game and has yielded just 10 goals.
In addition to Dennen, Brad Rose, Andy
Hackbarth and Andy Shorten scored for the
Bulldogs in last year's game. Yale is 4-1-1 in its last six
games with the Big Red and leads the all-time series 40-23-14.
