Keys to the Game: Cornell 

"We have really started to come together as a team in recent weeks. We have a nice mix of veterans and young guys, play makers and hard runners. We will look to build on a strong win last weekend in this week's matchup against Brown. The keys to the game will be strong forward running, a backline that asks questions of the opposition, and a clinical defensive structure. We will be up against a quality Brown side, so this should be a nice test for us going into the second half of the season."
