Sophomore Season - 2009
Aaronson was the surprise of the season in 2009, joining the team after spending the 2008 season with the Cornell track and field program as a sprinter, and his pace paid dividends on the soccer field as well.

Aaronson made his debut off the bench on Sept. 5 in the season opener against Syracuse, and picked up his first career goal in the 1-0 victory against Fairleigh Dickinson. Aaronson then found himself in the starting lineup for the first time in his career in against Harvard, and contributed an assist in the draw against the nationally ranked Crimson. Aaronson then scored goals in back-to-back games on Oct. 13 against Colgate and Oct. 14 against Yale, and capped his season with an assist in the season finale against Columbia on Nov. 13.
