When it really counted, the Big Red (13-2 overall, 3-0 Ivy) would not be denied. Setter Ann Korioth led the Cornell attack with 48 assists. Alex Gross had 15 kills to anchor the Red. In the final game of the match, Cornell converted 41 percent of all its kill attempts to capture the victory...
...today, Harvard (1-3 overall, 1-0 Ivy) looks to avenge those two losses--those funny bounces--against the only team in the Ivy League it has not beaten in the last two years. In fact, Harvard has not been victorious against the Big Red (2-1, 0-0) in four years--a fact Harvard Coach Joe Restic would like to change and, in the process, pick up his 99th career victory...
Cochrane rushed for 57 yards in the Big Red's 24-23 win over Lafayette last week, but he has passed for only 346 yards and two touchdowns this season. The junior signal-caller has also thrown eight interceptions. The Cornell offense is geared around the ground attack of fullback John McNiff (58 rushes, 254 yards), halfback Rob Buccini (30--109) and Cochrane (18--71). The Crimson defense has had trouble stopping the rush this season, allowing an incredible 240 yards per game on the ground at a clip of 4.7 yards per carry...
...Cornell's defense which draws rave reviews from Ivy League pundits. Lee was listed by The Sporting News as the best linebacker in Division I-AA. This year, Lee has already recorded 42 tackles, two sacks and one blocked kick in the Big Red's first three games against Bucknell, Northeastern and Lafayette...
Restic likes to run the ball--and against the Big Red, it's probably the best strategy--but his 1989 Crimson squad has had a nonexistent running game, at least since halfback Jim Reidy went down with an ankle injury three weeks ago. Amazingly, Reidy is still the club's leading rusher (28--166), despite missing three of the club's first four games. The senior running back made the trip up to Ithaca Thursday and is listed as questionable for today's game...
