NEW HAVEN, Conn. – For the first time this season, the Cornell field hockey team came out on the wrong end of a decision, as it fell to Yale in overtime, 1-0. The game was Big Red’s fourth overtime game in its last five contests. The Bulldogs Erin Carter scored off a penalty corner just 1:44 into the extra session to drop Cornell to 7-1 on the season and 2-1 in the Ivy League.
Yale (6-3, 2-1 Ivy) outshot Cornell, 17-13, and held a 13-9 advantage in penalty corners, but Mel Jue made seven saves, all of which came in the second half of play, to keep Cornell in the game.
The Big Red put just three shots on goal, with two stopped by Katie Bolling and one stopped by Charlotte Goins.
The game-winning goal came despite Yale being down one player thanks to a yellow card. The Bulldogs quickly drew the corner that yielded Carter's game-winner.
Cornell is back in action this week as it welcomes in-state rival Colgate to Marsha Dodson Field on Tuesday, Oct. 6 at 4 p.m.
