Brown University dropped its investment portfolio in HEI Hotels & Resorts, a company founded by Cornell alumni and a major donor to the University. 

The women's lacrosse team has won its last 10 games against Brown, and will look to continue that trend today in order to remain in contention for the last spot in the Ivy League Tournament.

The men’s Cornell basketball team looks to lock up the Ivy League title and an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament this weekend at Brown and Yale. Cornell needs to win one of the two road games in order to clinch the title outright. Though Brown (11-18, 5-7 Ivy) and Yale (11-18, 5-7 Ivy) don’t appear to be challenging competition on paper, both have the potential to topple the Red.

This weekend’s matchups with Yale and Brown further proved that the Ivy League has no answer to No. 25 Cornell’s dominance. The Red sent the Bulldogs back to New Haven, tails between their legs, with a 90-71 victory on Friday. The next evening, Brown came to town, taking the full brunt of Newman Nation with a 74-60 loss.

In these two games, as the Red took the court, there was a “David and Goliath” feeling in the air. Yale came into Friday’s matchup with a 2-2 record in Ancient Eight play, but was coming off a tough loss to Princeton.

Pop quiz. (Welcome to Cornell). Name the 25th-ranked team in the nation. Very good. Now, name both the No. 304 and No. 279 ranked teams in the nation out of the 347 Division I programs. The answer is this weekend’s competition according to the NCAA basketball Rating Percentage Index. Five days after cracking the ESPN/USA Today Top 25 Coaches Poll, Cornell will look to extend its six-game winning streak as it hosts Yale tonight and Brown tomorrow evening.

Driving back to Ithaca from Brown University (where we saw Emma Watson!), it is painful not to second guess what might have been Friday night against Yale. We can only imagine the team feels the same way.

For the men’s hockey team, it seems like there’s just something about Yale. The No. 12 Bulldogs won all three contests between the two teams last season, including a 5-0 rout in the ECAC Hockey championship game. And despite the No. 3 Red’s hot start to the season, Yale outskated Cornell once again on Friday in New Haven, Conn., and came away with a 4-2 win. The Red took out its frustration the next night in a 6-0 thrashing of Brown.

With three crucial wins under its belt, the No. 3 men’s hockey team heads on the road this weekend for the first time this season to face Ivy League rivals Yale tonight, followed by Brown tomorrow night.
