ABOUT THE BIG RED
October was a rough month for the Big Red, which posted a 0-3-2 record through five games. The team enters the weekend still searching for its first Ivy League victory of 2013 – and first win since a 1-0 shutout win Sept. 27 at Buffalo – after  being edged by Princeton 2-1 last weekend. The Big Red's only point against league opponents this season came in the form of a 0-0 tie with Yale on Oct. 19. All of Cornell's scoring this season has coming from upperclassmen, as members of the sophomore and freshman class have combined for just two assists; one by sophomore Ben Feldman and the other by freshman Sebastian Scales.
 
With his goal against Princeton, senior defender Patrick Slogic now leads the Big Red with three goals and two assists for eight points on the season. The top three scorers for Cornell in 2013 are all senior defenders, with Jake Rinow (2-2—6) and Jake Kirsch (2-1—5) just behind Slogic. Junior midfielder Conor Goepel leads the team with the most shots this season with 38 (18 on goal) and is third among Ivy League competitors in the same category.

HEAD COACH JARO ZAWISLAN
After taking over a program that was 1-15 the season before his appointment as head coach, Jaro Zawislan has steadily improved men's soccer at Cornell; transforming an eighth-place team into Ivy League Champions and coaching the Big Red to the program's best season in nearly two decades. Zawislan, a native of Poland, now holds a 39-23-20 record after the team's 2-1 loss to Princeton last weekend. He played soccer for four years at Clemson and then spent time professionally in the United States and Poland.
 
ABOUT DARTMOUTH
Dartmouth is the only other team in the Ivy League that has yet to record a win against a conference opponent this season. The Big Green is coming off a 2-1 loss to Harvard last weekend that came in similar fashion as the Big Red's loss to Princeton: Harvard got out to an early 2-0 lead in the first half, Dartmouth scored in the 82^nd minute, but it was too late for a rally. Alex Adelabu leads the Big Green with 10 points on four goals and two assists so far this season.
 
THE SERIES WITH DARTMOUTH 
The series with the Big Green started in 1930, with Dartmouth building a 34-27-5 lead in the years since. In last season's matchup, Cornell picked up a come-from-behind win on Berman Field thanks to a goal and assist from Stephen Reisert. Reisert scored the game-tying goal in the 31^st minute and up the game-winner by Tyler Regan in the 103^rd minute. The last time Cornell played in Hanover, Dartmouth earned a 3-1 victory, scoring two goals in the final six minutes of regulation.

IT'S ALL IN HIS HEAD
Patrick Slogic's goal against Princeton snapped a scoreless slump for the Big Red that had spanned 417:06 – more than four games – when he headed in a corner kick from classmate Stephen Reisert. Seven of Slogic's eight career goals thus far for the Big Red have been scored when the six-foot-six defender uses his head.
 
LEADING GOALKEEPERS
Junior Cornell goalie Zach Zagorski currently leads the Ivy League with a goals-against average of 0.72 and is second in goals against (7). Dartmouth keepers Stefan Cleveland and James Hickok – who have split time in net for the Big Green this season – are also ranked among Ivy League leaders at their position. Cleveland is third in goals against (8) and fifth in goals-against average (1.15), while Hickok is fourth (10) and third (1.06), respectively.
 
BACK TO BACK TO BACK
The Big Red opened the 2013 season with three straight overtime games; the last time a Cornell men's soccer team played in three straight games needing more than 90 minutes was in September 2006 against Buffalo, Boston University and Columbia.  

SENIOR LEADERSHIP
For the second season in a row the Big Red has three captains, as Jake Rinow, Patrick Slogic and Benjamin Williams have assumed the role for their senior seasons. Slogic is coming off a First Team All-Ivy season in 2012 and was named to the MAC Hermann watch list and as a contender for the Senior CLASS Award in the weeks prior to the 2013 season.
 
FRESH FACES
Cornell added 13 newcomers to the roster for the 2013 campaign. Goalkeeper Evan King, midfielder Madison Heck and midfield/forward hybrid Sebastian Scales all come to East Hill from Eastside FC in Washington State.
 
AIN'T THAT AMERICA
Nearly all of the players on this season's roster hail from one of 12 states, as California, New York and Washington each claim claiming four players. The Big Red has three players from New Jersey, two from both Colorado and Indiana and one each from Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan and Nebraska. Freshman JJ Black hails from Cambridge, England.  
 
UP NEXT
The Big Red returns home to close out the 2013 season and celebrate the class of 2014 on Berman Field with an Ivy League contest against Columbia. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
