Passing the Torch

Columbia 21 Cornell 14

Today's exciting Lion win was made possible by a nice mix of seniors and underclassmen heroes.

In the first half, senior Nick DeGasperis made some nice catches, and senior James Cobb ran for one-yard TD for a 7-0 Columbia lead.

Later, senior Adam Brekke made a nice interception, and then made an even nicer run for touchdown and 14-0 Lion lead.

In the third quarter, senior Tad Crawford went way up high to pick off a pass and set up the Lions' final score just one play later when junior QB Craig Hormann found fellow junior tight end Jamal Russell for a 33-yard touchdown pass.

And in the fourth quarter, the freshmen and sophomores made the big plays. First it was freshman linebacker Justin Masorti, with a first-down saving tackle early in the quarter and then a huge sack on a Cornell 4th and two later in the final frame.

On Cornell's last drive, it was sophomore Drew Quinn picking off a pass that sealed the victory!

The win ends Columbia's 16-game Ivy losing streak and puts their overall record this year at 4-5. The Lions finish their home schedule 4-2 at Wien Stadium.

While it was a nail biter, you gotta love the offense making some progress. Glad the seniors went out with a win at home. BEAT BROWN!

A Win would create a nice dynamic for this program to recruit in the offseason and really take this to the next level.
