GAME FACTS
- Coe struck from the opening whistle, scoring the first goal just over 30 seconds in as Preuss finished off a solid team move. Maya Schweiger began the transition with a pass to Adams out of the back before Coe's second goal scorer found Preuss streaking down the right wing. The freshman stayed calm and took a few touches before slotting it past the keeper for the 1-0 lead. Adams got back on the scoresheet minutes later with a brilliant individual effort, picking up a loose ball on the edge of the penalty area and firing a long-distance effort over the keeper's outstretched hand. The Rams tried to answer before the end of the opening half, striking the post in the 24th minute and forcing a save from Lilly Monroe in the 37th. The visitors got one back from the penalty spot early in the second half, making it 2-1 with over 30 minutes to play. Coe's defense did well to control the game over the closing stretch, holding Cornell to just two shots as the early goals proved enough.
