...Berry said. “We knew we had to stay composed and play the way that we can. Once we calmed down and started playing our game, it went well.”Although both teams exchanged leads in the first half, with Cornell holding the upper hand four times compared to the Crimson’s three, the Big Red refused to let go of its halftime advantage.

This is, after all, low-wage Florida: housing costs may be falling - in exorbitant South Florida, they've tumbled 45% since the median cost peaked at $375,000 two years ago - but take-home pay isn't rising.
