Keys to the Game for Columbia: 

After a week off, the team is refreshed and excited for our first fixture on Yale turf. The team is full of confidence after our last performance against Cornell, where the team put together some strong phases of play. Although the result did not go our way, the intent the team showed to incorporate our new style of play was excellent. Throughout practice, we have introduced a few more aspects to our game plan that we will aim to implement on Saturday.
