No. 20 Cornell Tops Yale 3-0

ITHACA, N.Y. – The Yale field hockey team held No. 20 Cornell's powerful offense in check for more than 20 minutes Saturday at Marsha Dodson Field, but the Big Red then scored twice in a span of less than eight minutes in the second quarter to take a 2-0 lead. Cornell (8-3, 3-1 Ivy League) tacked on a penalty stroke goal in the fourth quarter to make the final 3-0. Senior goalkeeper Luanna Summer finished with seven saves for Yale (4-8, 1-3 Ivy League).

Notes
  • Yale was coming off a 2-1 overtime win at Brown Wednesday on a game-winning goal by sophomore forward Poppy Beales.
  • Cornell had scored an Ivy League record 12 goals in a 12-4 win vs. Colgate Tuesday.
  • Senior goalkeeper Luanna Summer got her busy day started two minutes in, making a pair of saves on Cornell shots from right in front. She finished the first quarter with three saves.
  • At the 21:09 mark in the second, Cornell took a 1-0 lead. After the Big Red's initial shot on a penalty corner was blocked, Grace Leahy scored on a tip-in.
  • With 6:20 left in the second, junior back Colette Staadecker's shot on a penalty corner hit the post, denying the Bulldogs' chance to tie the game.
  • With 3:30 left in the second, Summer made an acrobatic save shortly after a Cornell shot hit the post and bounced free behind her.
  • With 58 seconds left before halftime, Sarah Rogalski deflected in a goal at the back door to give Cornell a 2-0 lead.
  • Neither team had a shot in the third quarter.
  • Cornell's final goal came when Caroline Ramsey was awarded a penalty stroke after a Big Red shot on a penalty corner was stopped by the Bulldogs.
  • Cornell goalkeeper Martha Broderick made her lone save of the game on a shot by junior midfielder/forward Ellie Barlow on a Yale penalty corner with 5:30 left.
  • Summer made a blocker save on Ramsey during a Cornell penalty corner with four minutes left. The Bulldogs thus wound up holding the Big Red below its season scoring average entering the game (4.3 goals per game).
  • This was the third time in four games that Yale played in the pouring rain.
  • The game pitted Yale's Ramsey sisters, first-year forward Emma Ramsey and junior forward Lily Ramsey, against their cousins – Cornell's Caroline Ramsey and Julia Ramsey. 
  • The Bulldogs ended the day tied for fifth in the Ivy League standings at 1-3, two games behind the two teams tied for third – Cornell and Princeton are both 3-1.
