Cornell is no longer the sole undefeated team in D1 after they dropped a decision to Harvard, 14-9, on their home field in Ithaca, NY. Cornell took leads of 1-0, 4-1, and 6-4, but Harvard fought back and tied it up each time. Harvard took the lead for the first time early in the third quarter to go up 7-6, and never looked back from there. The Crimson tacked on goals whenever Cornell looked ready to make a run, and the Big Red couldn’t string together consecutive goals in the second half until they were already down 13-7.
