The Last Time Out - vs UMBC
Last season, the Cornell men's soccer team fell 2-1 to UMBC on a Saturday night from Retriever Soccer Park, in a match that featured three penalty kicks, five yellow cards, and a red card. The Retrievers improve to 4-1-1, while the Big Red dropped to 2-2.

A tightly called first-half of play saw 14 fouls and three yellow cards, including one in the box that resulted in a penalty kick. Taylor Calheira of the Retrievers picked a spot in the bottom left corner of the net that snuck past Big Red goalie Ryan Friedberg for the opening score of the contest.

The Big Red opened the second-half on a mission, getting two shots in the first minute, but the Retriever defense met the bill registering a block and a save on successive Cornell attempts. Six minutes into the half, Matthew Goncalves was taken down in the box, leading to a penalty call. Freshman forward Alex Harris knotted the game up with a successful penalty shot. Moments later, the third penalty of the game was called. Calheira was the culprit of the tally again, moving the Retrievers back ahead, 2-1.

Despite Cornell winning the 18-6 shot discrepancy in favor of Cornell, UMBC would earn the victory behind Calheira's two goals and Emigdio Lopez's seven saves in the net.
