Keys to the Game: Cornell

The team is coming off of a nice win against Brown, but we know that the scoreline flattered us a bit. There are definite areas of improvement that we have been working to address as we prepare for a tough Harvard side this weekend. The keys to the match for us will be a structured defense and a clinical attack. We have been working hard at the set piece, and hope to create space for our attack to ask real questions of Harvard's defense. This will be a big test for us as we head into the final matches of the season.
