This Weekend 

The Bulldogs continue a stretch of five straight Ivy League road matches this weekend at Cornell and Columbia.  Yale on Friday looks to break a tie for second place in the conference standings in its matchup against the Big Red.  On Saturday, the Bulldogs travel to New York City and face Columbia.  Despite the lost to Harvard last Saturday, Yale has won 12 of its last 14 matches.

Double-Digits
