Two blowouts and a pair of nail-biters later, the five-way logjam atop the Ivy League football standings ended. Harvard, Yale, Penn, and Cornell remain tied for first with 3-1 records, while Princeton fell to 2-2.

In a close and exciting game, Cornell (3-4, 3-1 Ivy) edged Princeton (2-5, 2-2), 25-24. The win kept Cornell in the race for the Ivy title and dropped Princeton to a game behind the Ivy leaders.

The Big Red tallied the game-winning score with 1:56 remaining on a four-yard touchdown pass from Ricky Rahne to Mike Paris. That tally put Cornell ahead, 25-18, and set the stage for the game's dramatic finish.

The Tigers drove down the field in a little over a minute and a half and pulled within one when Brian Danielewicz, the reserve quarterback, connected with wideout Chisom Opara in the back of the endzone for a 24-yard touchdown pass.

Trailing by only one-point with just under 11 seconds on the clock, the Princeton special teams unit took the field. Kicker Taylor Northrop, who won the Ivy League special team player of the week earlier in the year and had sixteen straight extra points through Saturday, slipped while running to plant his foot and the Tigers' extra-point attempt failed.

The winning Cornell drive started with 5:47 remaining in the fourth, and encompassed eight plays for 36 yards.

The Big Red ruled the day on the play of Evan Simmons, who carried five times on the game's winning drive and had 106 yards on 18 carries for Cornell.

Rahne was 23-for-46 with two touchdowns and two interceptions for 279 yards. He connected with sophomore wideout Keith Ferguson eight times on the day for 164 yards.
