Scouting Cornell
Cornell is 1-3-0 on the season so far, most recently ending a three-game, season-opening losing streak with a 2-1 victory over Villanova.  The Big Red went 3-11-2 in 2021, and went winless in eight matches on the road.  Despite the lopsided record, Cornell scored 14 goals last season, their highest total since scoring 16 in 2015.  UAlbany is 2-3-2 against Cornell in the program’s Division I era.

Last Time Out
Selma Elverum scored her first career goal for UAlbany just five minutes into the Great Danes’ match on the road against La Salle.  Elverum scored UAlbany’s fourth goal of the season, and became UAlbany’s second goal-scorere after Emily Jozak accounted for all three UAlbany goals in the team’s previous game against Rider.  La Salle regrouped, however, controlling 59% of possession in the first half and outshooting UAlbany 19-5 overall.  The Explorers scored twice after halftime to take a 2-1 victory.
