Coming off a 22-point victory over the Quakers last weekend, Cornell is now 8-16 overall and 3-9 in the lvy league. The Big Red's strength lies in its frontcourt, with center Patti Froehlich averaging 9.9 rebounds per game and forward Tracy Sullivan adding 6.0 r.p.g.
When the Crimson faced Cornell last month the women cagers downed the Big Red, 60-46, despite being outrebounded by a 52-42 margin.
Corell has the worst shooting percentage in the lvy league--39 percent from the floor and 60 percent from the foul line--and shot a miserable 29 percent from the field in its earlier loss to Harvard.
The Lions
Columbia--which sits in the basement of the Ivy league with a record of 8-14 overall and 2-10 lvy--closes out its season Saturday night at Briggs Athletic Center.
When the Lions matched up with the Crimson earlier this season, the Crimson took a 78-67 victory despite being outscored by eight points in the second half.
"We have to try not to let the game get out of hand early," Columbia Coach Nancy Kalafus said. "We're going to work on our offense and the major thing we're going to focus on is not giving them the lead we gave them last time."
Senior Ula Lysniak leads the Lions in both scoring (15 p.p.g.) and rebounding (8.3 r.p.g.).
