After a year of playing Ivy teams, the Lions are officially members of the Ivy League, and are working to make a name for themselves against some of the top teams in the Northeast.
One of those teams is Harvard, who comes in having knocked 32 hits in its last doubleheader.
Freshmen shortstop Rachel Goldberg had seven of those hits, going 7-for-8 with a slew of doubles and singles.
On Sunday, the Crimson takes on the league-leading Big Red. Despite its unbeaten record, Cornell had significant trouble getting by the same Brown squad that the Lions handled, 8-0.
The Bears were able to plate eight runs against the Big Red in the first inning. Cornell showed its grit, coming back to score nine in their half of the inning. The Big Red went on to win 14-10, and took the second game, 13-12.
While both games notched victories in Cornell's win column, the fact remains that the Big Red was challenged by one of the poorer teams in the league.
The Crimson, however, is not taking anything for granted.
