CROSS COUNTRY
Columbia cross country heads to the Bronx for the second time this season when they hit the Van Cortlandt Park course for the Mets Cross Country Championships. The event is set to get started at 10:30 a.m on Friday. It's the second of three times Columbia will send a field of runners to VCP ahead of the Ivy League Cross Country Heps, which will also be held at VCP on Oct. 28. The Lions are coming off a weekend where they sent a collection of runners to the Paul Short Run, hosted by Lehigh. Victoria Patterson posted the best finish for the Lions, placing 19th in the 6K and crossing the line in 20:00.4. On the men's side, Michael Danzi clocked an 8K time of 23:42.7 (57th) for the best men's finish of the day.
VOLLEYBALL
Columbia volleyball (3-9, 0-3 Ivy) makes the trip down I-95 to the City of Brotherly Love on Friday to face off against the Penn Quakers (1-12, 0-3 Ivy) at 7 p.m. From there, the Lions will travel about an hour north into New Jersey to battle the Princeton Tigers (11-2, 3-0 Ivy) on Saturday at 5 p.m. The Lions are set to play two teams having extremely dissimilar seasons. Penn comes into Friday on a 10-game losing streak, while Princeton has won eight in a row. The Lions enter the weekend searching for their first conference win. Last weekend, Columbia dropped two at home, taking on top-seeded Yale, before going up against the reigning Ivy League champs, Brown. On Friday against the Bulldogs, it was Saj McBurrows leading the way in kills with seven. On Saturday against the Bears, Kiara Robichaud got things going on offense with 11 kills.
WOMEN'S TENNIS
Columbia enters the weekend riding high after a successful showing at ITA Regionals in Princeton, New Jersey. Three Lions, Sophia Wang, Shivani Amineni, and Winta Tewolde all went undefeated, advancing to the Super Regionals scheduled for October 21 in New Haven, Conn. The Lions travel to South Bend, Indiana for the Notre Dame Invite beginning this Friday. Columbia is one of four teams competing, including Notre Dame, Wisconsin and Kentucky. There will be four doubles and eight singles per match.
FIELD HOCKEY
The Lions make the trip to Providence to take on the Brown Bears on Saturday at 1 p.m. Brown enters the weekend as the second-leading scoring team in the Ivy League, finding the back of the cage 28 times this season. Columbia hits the road after back-to-back home games against Cornell and Delaware last weekend. The Lions dropped both contests by a score of 3-1. MK Myklebust scored the third goal of her freshman campaign against the Big Red. Maya Walker netted her fourth of the season versus the Blue Hens. Katie Wimmer ended the weekend with 11 saves, giving her an Ivy League-best 68 saves on the year.
WOMEN'S SOCCER
Columbia women's soccer (5-3-2, 1-1 Ivy), following a 2-2 tie to La Salle at home on Wednesday, Oct. 5, returns to Ivy League play with a trip to Penn (3-1-7, 0-0-2 Ivy) on Saturday. Against La Salle, the Lions got a pair of goals from Annia Diaz-Silveira (36th minute) and Mia Ferrentino (78th minute), but couldn't keep La Salle from knotting it up. Shortly after Ferrentino's goal, La Salle drew a penalty and scored to bring the game to its 2-2 final. Kickoff for Saturday at Penn Park is scheduled for 2 p.m. and fans can watch on ESPN+ and follow along with the live stats provided by Penn.
MEN'S SOCCER
Columbia (1-5-3, 0-0-1 Ivy) travel to Harvard (5-4-1, 0-1-0 Ivy) for a pivotal Ivy League matchup. After drawing Brown, 0-0, in last Saturday's Ivy opener, the Lions will be looking for three points as they chase down an 11th league title. The Lions are one of the tougher teams to score against in the NCAA this season, ranking among the top 75 in shutout percentage. Senior goalkeeper Michael Collodi will stand guard between the posts, carrying a .757 save percentage and average of 3.50 saves per game into the contest.
MEN'S GOLF
The Columbia men's golf team competes in its final fall tournament on Monday and Tuesday, taking part in the Georgetown Intercollegiate at Liberty National Golf Club. The Lions are coming off a tournament title at last weekend's Columbia Autumn Invitational hosted at Lake Placid Club. The Lions (-10) won the team event by a single stroke over Sacred Heart (-9), matching the team's 54-hole scoring record in relation to par. Individually, junior Nathan Han completed a record-setting weekend at 13-under-par 200, setting the program's lowest 54-hole total in relation to par. Han had a historic round of 11-under 60 to open the tournament, setting Columbia's new single-round record and becoming just the 17th golfer in NCAA history to card a 60.
WOMEN'S GOLF
Columbia women's golf will compete in its final fall tournament on Monday and Tuesday, tri-hosting the first Ivy Intercollegiate at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey. The 12-team event will feature six Ivy League schools and six programs out of the ACC. On Monday, all 12 teams will play 36 continuous holes to crown a team and individual champion. The next day, the Ivy League and the ACC will go head-to-head in a match-play-style competition with either the Ivy or the ACC being crowned champion. Fans can keep up with the action on Golfstat.
