Yale Recap
The Cornell men's soccer team fell 1-0 to the Yale Bulldogs on Saturday night at Reese Stadium in the Ivy League opener. The Big Red dropped its first game of the season, moving to 5-1-2, while the Bulldogs improved to 3-4-1 overall.

The first-half of the match was played at a defensive pace, with each team managing just one shot-on-goal each. Alex Harris was active in the first-half owning three of the six Big Red shots including the lone attempt that tested Yale net-minder Chris Edwards.

After a first-half with zero corner kicks between both teams, Yale managed to draw six in the second-half with all coming in a span of 15 minutes.

The last of those six corner-kicks would serve as a detriment to the Big Red as it would lead to a penalty-kick for a hand-ball infraction by Lokko.

Yale preseason All-American TJ Presthus made the penalty-kick count when he snuck it past Friedberg in the top-corner of the net to put the Bulldogs ahead 1-0.

The Last Time Out - vs Binghamton
Last season, the Cornell men's soccer team played Binghamton to a stunning 2-1 victory on  from Bearcats Sports Complex.

Senior defender Connor Drought and freshman mid-fielder Connor Miller put in their first goals of the season. Alex Harris and Balazs Feher extended their point-streaks to three games, helping on the Big Red goals.

Drought opened up the scoring in the 27th-minute, putting the Big Red in front mid-way through the first half. Cornell put heavy offensive pressure on the Bearcats in that half, winning the shots on goal advantage 5-0.

Binghamton answered early in the second half, when Cailen Thomas booted in a Bearcat goal from Jack Green, knotting the game at 1-1.

As time wound down, both squads searched for the right moment to strike on a go-ahead-goal. Around the 10-minute mark, Anthony Lazaridis of the Bearcats committed a crucial red card offense which would cause Binghamton to play a man-down.

Ivy League points leader Harris and Drought took advantage as they found Miller cutting across the box for the game-winning-goal.

Big Red Players To Watch
Alex Harris - Harris is off to a strong start again this season. The sophomore forward puts pressure on goaltenders, as he has generated 19 shots on goal. He currently stands at 12 points on five goals and two assists.

Alioune Ka - Ka has been a reliable goal-scorer for the Big Red in the early season. He continues to be shifty in the offensive zone, consistently finding goals in timely situations. He currently holds six points on the year on three goals.

Connor Miller - Miller has been a catalyst. He has registered 6points coming on two goal and two assists. He notched the game-winning goal against the Syracuse Orange.
