Like a young Forest Gump, the women’s basketball team started running and just never stopped this weekend. Friday night, the Red raced acrobatically up and down the court against Yale on its way to 59-55 victory. On Saturday night, Cornell kept its momentum going, winning a sloppy, defensive battle, 41-36, over Brown.

Red gets back to winning ways, downs Brown

Body:

Coming off its first losing streak since Ivy League play began, Cornell got back to its winning ways this past Saturday night as the Red defeated Brown 79-67. The Red’s (15-13, 8-4) effort on the offensive end was paced by freshmen Ryan Wittman and Louis Dale who netted 22 points apiece — including a combined 37 in the second half. Senior tri-captain Andrew Naeve continued his solid contribution at both ends of the floor adding 12 points to go along with seven rebounds and 4 blocks. Junior Mark McAndrew had a career night for the Bears (10-17, 5-7) as the Rhode Island native poured in 33 points and helped keep Brown within striking distance throughout much of the game.

NEW HAVEN, CONN. — “Redemption.”

It was the first thing that Yale head coach James Jones said to senior Casey Hughes when the two embraced on the sideline after Hughes subbed out of the game against Cornell in John J. Lee Amphitheater on Friday. With one word, Jones summed up what the night meant to Hughes, who scored 18 points on his 22nd birthday to help the Bulldogs to a 68-55 win over the Red after he missed two free throws with two seconds remaining in Cornell’s 60-59 win in Ithaca on Feb. 10.
