PRINCETON, N.J. -- The Ivy League's conference
slate opened last week with Cornell, Penn and Brown recording
victories.
Outside of the conference, the Ivies continued their winning ways.
After Princeton’s win over Manhattan last week, the Ivies are
now 23-8 against nonconference foes, including 8-4 against ranked
teams. The League has an above .500 mark against each of the other
eight conferences in the nation.
With Penn’s win over Princeton, the Quakers’ No. 7
ranking in the NIKE/IL poll is their highest since April 2006 when
they were No. 7 in USILA.
Dartmouth faces a good test on Monday when it visits North
Carolina for a game that will be broadcast on ESPN3. Cornell, one
of three remaining unbeatens in the nation, hosts Bucknell on
Tuesday before a big League clash with Penn on Saturday. Harvard
hosts Bryant on Tuesday before facing Dartmouth in an Ivy contest
Saturday. Yale and Princeton square off Friday night with both in
search of their first League win. That game will be televised by
ESPNU. Brown visits High Point on Sunday for its only contest of
the week.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Cornell senior midfielder Steve Mock (Huntington,
N.Y.) had a monster second half to lift the second-ranked Big Red
over No. 15/16 Yale in the Ivy League opener for both teams
Saturday afternoon. Mock had six goals on the day, five of them in
the second half, as Cornell earned a 12-10 win over the Bulldogs.
In a back-and-forth game, Mock scored the first two tallies of the
second half to give Cornell an 8-6 lead. He then scored three goals
in the fourth quarter, each time answering a Yale tally that had
pulled the Bulldogs within a goal. Mock’s six goals came on
nine shots and he also added three caused turnovers.
He is the third different Cornell player to win Player of the Week
this season. Cornell has won at least a share of Player of the Week
each of the first four weeks this season.

ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Brown goalkeeper Jack Kelly (West Islip, N.Y.)
shutout Harvard in the fourth quarter to lead the Bears to a
victory in the Ivy opener for both squads. Kelly had five of his
season-high 15 saves in the fourth quarter as Brown outscored the
Crimson, 4-0, on its way to an 11-9 win. Kelly made several point
blank saves on the day, including one with the score knotted at
9-all with 9:48 to play. He also had a diving save in the third
quarter, recovering after a quick restart by Harvard left the goal
wide open.
It is the third straight week that a Brown freshman has won at
least a share of Rookie of the Week and Kelly is the third
different recipient.
