“They don’t give out any trophies in March,” Buczek said. “It’s certainly cool to be in [the No. 1] spot, but it’s meaningless if we don’t take care of business on Saturday.”
While the Red (6-1, 2-0 Ivy) took a 19-14 victory over Yale on Saturday, each of the three teams polled above Cornell last week were upset.
In the team’s first road conference match, Kirst netted nine goals to break his own single-game high, previously set at seven on March 2, 2024 against Ohio State.
A grand total of five goals and seven points made Kirst the school’s highest scorer of all time, sitting at an impressive 193 goals. To cap off the achievement, No 4/3 Cornell (5-1) took a definitive 15-10 win over No. 6 Princeton (4-2) on home turf.
