October 26, 2016 | Women's Soccer
Princeton (9-4-2, 1-3-1 Ivy) at Cornell (4-8-2, 1-3-1 Ivy), Saturday, 2:30 p.m.: Free Admission | Live Stats | Live Video (ILDN) | Facility Info
Princeton will take a final Ivy road trip to Cornell for a Saturday afternoon tilt with the Big Red as the Tigers look to break a three-game Ivy League skid.
RPI:Â A new RPI came out Monday, and Princeton stayed put at 37th, top in the Ivy by 17 spots over Harvard at 54th. Cornell stands at 176th.Â
Challenging stretch: Six of Princeton's final eight opponents of the regular season are among the nation's top 25 in goals-against average through Tuesday's games, including Brown (sixth, 0.403), Penn (11th, 0.550), Columbia (12th, 0.553), Dartmouth (15th, 0.589), Bucknell (17th, 0.604) and Lehigh (23rd, 0.664).Â
Records: Already the owner of Princeton's career goals record (52) and points record (120), senior Tyler Lussi is also the Ivy's top goal scorer since 1988 and is seeking to become the league's top point scorer since that year. On the league's goal list, she now trails only Harvard's Kelly Landry (68) and Sue St. Louis (66) and Brown's Theresa Hirschauer (62), all of whom played in the 1980s. On the league's points list, she is behind Landry at 160, St. Louis at 148, Hirschauer at 131 and Penn's Katy Cross (2001-04) at 125.
Rookies:Â Despite Princeton returning 10 starters from last year, the Class of 2020 has made its mark. Abby Givens, Tomi Kennedy, Emily Hilliard, Olivia Sheppard and Natalie Grossi have all started games, Givens (three) and Kennedy (two) have scored goals, Grossi and Givens have been named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week, and Sheppard was 52nd on Top Drawer Soccer's midseason national top 100 freshmen list.
Weekly honors:Â Princeton took three of the first four Ivy League Player of the Week honors, with Tyler Lussi winning two and Mimi Asom one, and two of the first six rookie honors, with Natalie Grossi and Abby Givens winning one each.
Stat rankings: Through Tuesday's games, Tyler Lussi was No. 7 in the nation in shots on goal per game at 2.64 and seventh in shots per game at 5.00.
Strong start:Â At 23-8-3, Sean Driscoll is already Princeton's fourth-winningest women's soccer coach, behind Tom Griffith (36, 1985-89), Bob Malekoff (52, 1980-84) and Julie Shackford (203, 1995-2014). He is the second-fastest coach to 23 wins, behind only Malekoff, who won 23 of his first 26 games.
Common foes:Â Princeton and Cornell had no common non-conference opponents, and each has played four of the same Ivy teams in Columbia, Harvard, Yale and Brown. The Tigers went 0-3-1 against that group, tying Yale, and Cornell went 1-2-1, defeating Yale and tying Harvard.
Series history:Â Princeton has won 20 in a row over Cornell in a streak that began in 1996. All-time, Princeton leads the series 25-7-4. No current Big Red player has scored against the Tigers, and Tyler Lussi has scored in all three of her games against Cornell, scoring twice in 2014. Kelsey Tierney has started all three games in goal against Princeton during her tenure, playing just the first half as a freshman.
On Cornell:Â The Big Red won their first two games of the season and have gone 2-8-2 since, losing 1-0 to Brown last time out after a 2-1 win over Yale the previous weekend. Paige DeLoach has scored two of the Big Red's six goals on the season, and Meghan Kennedy (2-3-2, 0.63 GAA, 715 min) and Kelsey Tierney (2-5-0, 1.68 GAA, 589 min) have split the time in goal with Kennedy starting the last four games. Through Tuesday's games, Kennedy ranks fifth in the nation in save percentage (.902) and 22nd in GAA (0.63).
