Last Time Out
• Junior midfielder Reagan Pauwels scored her first collegiate goal, proving to be the difference maker in Cornell's 2-1 victory over Princeton at Berman Field last Saturday.
• Fellow junior, Laken Gallman, also scored for the Big Red in the victory. Sophomore goalkeeper Erica Fox stopped five Princeton shots, making a pair of goal-saving stops.
• The win for Cornell snapped a 25-game losing streak to Princeton, claiming its first victory over the Tigers since Sept. 25, 1995. It was also the first time Cornell scored multiple times on Princeton since the 1994 season, when the Big Red posted a 5-0 victory.
Ivy League Player of the Week
• Following her game-winning goal against Princeton last Saturday, junior midfielder Reagan Pauwels was named the Ivy League's Player of the Week, the conference office announced Monday afternoon.
• Pauwels became Cornell's first Player of the Week since Kelsey Tierney during the 2015 season. It was the Big Red's first player to earn an Ivy League weekly award since Ava Laden last year.
Home, Sweet Home
• Saturday's match will mark Cornell's second consecutive home game, the first and only time that will occur this season.
• The last time Cornell hosted consecutive games was last year against Colgate (Oct. 5, 2021) and Harvard (Oct. 9, 2021).
• Hosting consecutive Ivy League games is a unusual occurrence, as it is the first time since 2018 (hosted Princeton and Dartmouth in final two games of season) Cornell is playing consecutive conference matches at Berman Field.
About the Big Red
• Junior forward Laken Gallman leads the Big Red offense with five goals and 10 points. Senior forward Ashley Durik has the second-most points with six, on the power of two goals and two assists.
• Sophomore goalkeeper Erica Fox has played the bulk of minutes in Ivy League play, registering all but 49 seconds of action. Fox has a 1-3-2 record with a 1.67 goals-against average and a .677 save percentage in Ivy League play.
Finding the Back of the Net
• Since head coach Rob Ferguson stepped foot on Cornell's campus, the Big Red have found the back of the net in 25 of the 45 matches played with Ferguson on the coaching staff (.556).
• While Ferguson has been head coach, Cornell has scored in 18 of the 30 games played (.600). That clip ranks as the fourth-highest by a Big Red head coach and is the program's highest since Patrick Farmer logged a .667 percentage (44-of-66) during his five-year tenure at the helm of the Big Red program between 2012-16.
No 'L' in Berman
• Since falling to Marist in its home opener on Aug. 28, Cornell has been unbeaten in its last five home matches (2-0-3), which includes playing to draws in its three of its last four home matches.
• The five-game unbeaten streak is Cornell's longest on home turf since going 5-0-1, which spanned the final home game of the 2014 season and the first five home games of 2015.
Scouting the Big Green
• Dartmouth enters Saturday's match with an 8-6-2 overall record, but just a 1-4-1 mark in Ivy League play. The Big Green's lone Ivy League win came to Penn on Oct. 15, 1-0.
• After posting a dominant 7-0 victory over Colby-Sawyer, a New Hampshire-based Division III school, on Oct. 17, the Big Green have lost its last two matches to Columbia (0-1) and Harvard (1-2).
• Allie Winstanley has logged a Dartmouth-leading 11 goals and 25 points on the season. Aleena Seales also has 10-plus points on the season, posting five goals and an assist. Mary Lundregan has seven assists, which leads the Big Green.
• Charlotte Cyr has appeared and started in all 16 games this season, posting an 8-6-2 record with a 1.39 goals-against average and a .825 save percentage.
