The Big Red gained a moral victory last weekend by holding its own against a powerful Syracuse field hockey team. Falling by a count of 1-0, and with that lone goal coming late in the second half, the Cornell defense proved its intensity.

Oct. 11, Harvard, 1 p.m.
The Big Red saw its attempt to stop Dartmouth's unbeaten streak aborted, as Cornell was mistake prone in a 24-20 loss last Saturday in Hanover, N.H.
