ABOUT THE BIG RED
• Cornell is coming off a 2-0 loss last Saturday at nationally-ranked Princeton. Mimi Asom set up Vanessa Gregoire's goal in the 31st minute, then Asom converted a penalty kick with just seconds in the final minute of the first half to double the lead.
• Gregoire's goal ended Cornell's road shutout streak at 398 minutes, 37 seconds. The Big Red's three previous games away from home resulted in scoreless draws against Fairleigh Dickinson (Sept. 24), Penn (Sept. 29) and Yale (Oct. 14).
• Junior goalkeeper Meghan Kennedy made a career-high 11 saves against the Tigers. After earning All-Ivy League honorable mention last year, Kennedy enters this weekend leading the circuit in saves (75) by a wide margin.
• Senior forward Paige DeLoach leads Cornell in scoring with four points on two goals. Sophomore forward Kennedy Yearby, sophomore defender Kaili Gregory and freshman midfielder Shelby Wray have scored Cornell's other goals this season.
 
HEAD COACH DWIGHT HORNIBROOK
• After serving as an assistant coach for five seasons, Dwight Hornibrook was named the head coach in February 2017. While he's in his first season at the helm of the Big Red, he has 17 years of head coaching experience with the men's soccer programs at Houghton and SUNY Cortland. After joining the Cornell women's soccer team, Hornibrook had helped the Big Red win 30 games over the last five years — the program's highest total in such a span since 2002-06. Hornibrook's overall record as a head coach is 184-124-32.
• After a three-year professional career, two-time Cornell captain goalkeeper Tori Christ '14 joins the Big Red as an assistant coach. Megan Giles is the team's other assistant coach after serving as the volunteer assistant coach with the Big Red last year. Dana Daniels '17 now fills the role of volunteer assistant coach after completing a four-year career with Cornell as both a goalkeeper and field player.
 
MAYER ON THE MARK
• Sophomore Chrissy Mayer made 13 saves to earn a clean sheet in her first collegiate start on Sept. 24 at Fairleigh Dickinson. Playing in her hometown state of New Jersey, Mayer's effort was the highest save total for a Cornell goalkeeper since Oct. 26, 2008, when Kelly Murphy '12 had 13 stops in a 2-0 blanking of host Brown. Mayer made 23 saves in five career appearances before yielding her first goal on Oct. 9 against Colgate.
 
CASE IN POINTS
• Of Cornell's 36 points last season, 32 were notched by players who return to the squad this year. Also, eight of the team's 16 goals from its memorable 2015 season were scored by players on its current squad — four from senior Paige DeLoach, two from junior Jessica Ritchie and one each from seniors Carolyn Ruoff and Tess Pullano.
 
A CALL TO ARMBANDS
• Seniors Kaylee Fitzgerald and Whitney Farber are serving as the Big Red's co-captains this season. Both players are frequently in the mix for the Big Red on the back line. Cornell carries eight seniors on its roster of 27.

NATIONAL APPEAL
• The Big Red has 14 different states, the District of Columbia and the province of Alberta represented on the team roster. The most represented state on the Big Red is California, which is called home by six players. Five hail from New York, four from New Jersey, two each from Illinois and Maryland, and one each from Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Virginia, Wisconsin, the District of Columbia and Alberta. Head coach Dwight Hornibrook also hails from Canada, native to the New Brunswick capital of Fredericton.
 
ABOUT DARTMOUTH
• The Big Green has a winning record in non-league games, but has found Ivy League play to be tough sledding with an 0-6 mark to date.
• Four of Dartmouth's Ivy League losses have come in overtime, including a 2-1 setback to Harvard last Saturday. Murphy Agnew's second goal lifted the Crimson in the second overtime session after the Big Green forced extra time with Bonnie Shea goal in the 59th minute off corner-kick service from Brittany Champagne.
• Remy Borinsky leads the team in scoring with 11 points on five goals and one assist. Forward Biance Ribi has a team-high four assists to go with three goals for 10 points, and Alyssa Neuberger ranks third with nine points on three goals and three assists.
• Dartmouth has scored two goals in six Ivy League games, both by Bonnie Shea.
• Mariel Gordon has started all 16 of Dartmouth's games in goal, posting a 6-10 record, 1.39 goals against average, .725 save percentage and three clean sheets.
• Ron Rainey is in his third season as the head coach at Dartmouth.
 
THE SERIES WITH DARTMOUTH
• While the Big Green holds a 23-9-5 lead in the all-time series, the Big Red has won two of the last three meetings. • Cornell won last season's finale against Dartmouth, 4-1, at Berman Field. Senior Kaylee Fitzgerald scored on a header off a corner kick in the game's third minute. Paige DeLoach and Karli Berry had a goal and an assist apiece, and Kennedy Yearby also scored for the Big Red.  
• The Big Green defeated the Big Red, 1-0, in the teams' last clash at Dartmouth in 2015.
