Five Takeaways From No. 4 Women’s Hockey’s First Five Games
After a slow start last season that saw three losses in its first five contests, the Red (5-0-0, 2-0-0 ECAC) has come out of the gates swinging in 2025-2026 and has yet to trail in a game.

At the MAISA Women's Fall Dinghy, the Red took a second-place finish. On the same weekend, the War Memorial Regatta had a similarly impressive performance with a seventh overall placing.
With the win, the Red improves to 5-0-0 for the first time since the 2019-2020 season.
“It’s competitive. We’ve got size. I feel good about the roster,” Jones said. “I feel good about where we can fit. I feel good about where our ceiling can go. It's just a matter of getting that consistency with 14 new players and getting on the same page.”
Sprint football matched Mansfield University hit for hit and drive for drive, but the Mountaineers’ ground game and timely defensive stands proved decisive in a physical, hard-fought contest.
In the 88th minute of Saturday's game, the Red completed a comeback after its sixth consecutive scoreless first half.
This Friday, the Red, along with Colgate University and Syracuse University, ran to celebrate the legacy of one man: John Reif ’86.
Cornell volleyball (12-6, 7-1 Ivy) gave plenty of reason for celebration this weekend by adding another tick in the win column, beating Columbia University in four sets.
“I think there's going to be a lot of video, a lot of teaching moments, which is good because they exposed everything,” Devlin said. “We can learn from it, because we have a lot of clear examples of what we can't be doing when we start the regular season.”
Bergmann recorded her second shutout of the season and third career against Dartmouth in a dominant performance.
This was the Red’s first overtime game since 2016, and its first overtime win since 2007 — both of which were against Brown.
“I think it will give us a really good indication how we are in transition defense and how we are in special teams,” Jones said.
The Red’s 12 goals this season have come off the sticks of 10 different skaters.
This weekend, No. 5 Cornell (2-0) will travel for the first time since the Frozen Four, hoping to recapture the success last year’s squad had away from Ithaca.
After a sorely-needed win against Bucknell last weekend, a victory against Brown could be the catalyst needed to turn around what was looking to be a forgettable season for the Red, who is currently tied for last place in the Ivy League.
Coming off of consecutive wins against Ivy League rivals University of Pennsylvania and Colgate University, the Red was looking to extend its win streak to three games.
Junior Felipe Pinzon and senior Petar Teodorovic captured the ITA New England Regional doubles crown last Monday afternoon at Yale’s Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center, earning an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament next month.
