WOMEN'S SWIMMING & DIVING
On Friday night, the Lions open up their season against Ivy League rivals, Penn. Columbia returns an experienced group of 15 swimmers that qualified for the Ivy League Championships last season. Last year against the Quakers, Columbia earned a 158-142 win at Uris Pool in a dual that was decided by the final event. After earning five of six top-three spots on the platform, the Lions picked up five first-place finishes and won a pair of relays. The meet came down to the 200-freestyle relay, where Columbia's A team won in a photo finish to help cement the victory.
VOLLEYBALL
The Lions close out the road portion of the regular season this weekend, traveling to Harvard on Friday night for a 7:00 p.m. start before heading to Dartmouth on Saturday night for 5:00 p.m. start. Last weekend, Saj McBurrows moved into the top-10 in the conference in attacking percentage, hitting .323 on the year. Harper Justema also cracked the top-10 in total blocks in the conference after recording nine last weekend against Brown and Yale. The Lions go up against Dartmouth for the 56th time in program history. The Big Green lead the series 30-25. Against the Crimson, the Lions are 21-41. Both games will be available on ESPN +.
FENCING
After earning eight medals at the Temple Open, Columbia will begin team competition with 10 dual matches on the docket at the Western Invitational this weekend. On the women's side, Zander Rhodes (foil), Tierna Oxenreider (epee) and Chloe Gouhin (sabre) won their respective events to highlight the Lions' performance. The Columbia men also secured five medals Sunday in in all three weapons. Colby Harley (sabre) and Zachary Binder (foil) earned silver medals, while Justin Haddad (epee), Jackson McBride (sabre) and Andrew Zheng (foil) claimed bronze, respectively.
WRESTLING
The Lions, who had their best finish at the EIWA Championships since 2014 and scored the most points in program history (84.5), open the 2022-23 campaign as they did in 2021-22, with a visit to the Southeast Open, hosted by Virginia Tech. Columbia returns a pair of NCAA Qualifiers in Matt Kazimir (141) and Joshua Ogunsanya (165). Last year at the event, Ogunsanya also reached the top of the podium and had 12 top-three finishers.
MEN'S SWIMMING & DIVING
After opening the season Friday at home, the Lions make the trip down the Turnpike to take on Penn. Columbia topped Penn last season during the regular season on the heels of Jonathan Suckow setting a pair of Sheer Pool records in the one and three-meter dive. Four swimmers (Stanford Li - 500, 1,000 free, Kyle Won - 100, 200 back, Seungjoon Ahn (200 fly) and Thomas Shepanzyk (100 free) who finished first at the meet last season return for the Lions heading into this year's matchup.
FOOTBALL
Columbia will look to snap a three-game slide when it heads to Harvard Saturday. The schools will meet for the 80th time in the series' history, and the Lions will look for their first win in Cambridge since 1995. Columbia brings in the nation's top rushing defense, allowing just 60.3 yards on the ground per game.
WOMEN'S SOCCER
Columbia heads to Harvard to conclude the regular season this Saturday at 4 p.m. The Lions (7-4-3, 3-2-1 Ivy) hope to defeat the Crimson for the first time since 2007. However, Columbia has walked away with a point against Harvard in two of the last four meetings. Shira Cohen and Ania Prussak lead the attack with 10 points apiece this season. Cohen has scored four goals and tallied two assists, while Prussak owns three goals and a team-leading four assists. The Lions have already solidified a top-four finish in the league table and are hoping to hand the Crimson (4-0-2 Ivy) their first Ivy loss of the year.
MEN'S SOCCER
The men's soccer team will conclude the season with back-to-back matches against nationally ranked opponents, starting with Penn (10-2-2, 4-1-0 Ivy) this Saturday in Philadelphia. Columbia has taken points in each of its last 10 matchups against the Quakers, boasting a record of 7-0-3 since 2012. The last two series matchups have each ended in a 1-1 draw. Saturday will mark Columbia's first visit to Philly since 2018, when the Lions walked away, 2-0, winners. All five of Columbia's Ivy League matches this season have either ended in a draw or been decided by a single goal.
MEN'S BASKETBALL
The Lions open the 2022-23 season in Piscataway, N.J. against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. A matchup dating back to 1914, Columbia leads the all-time series 26-21. The last time the teams met was during the 2002-03 season when Rutgers came out on top 60-30. Columbia returns two of its top-three scorers from last season in Geronimo Rubio De La Rosa and Liam Murphy. Tip-off from Jersey Mike's arena is slated for 7:00 p.m. and the game will be televised on the Big 10+ network.
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
The women's basketball team begins its 2022-23 campaign on Monday night with its first matchup in program history against Memphis. Columbia's non-conference schedule takes it on the road for nine of its 13 games, which includes a slew of contests against teams that qualified for either the NCAA Tournament or WNIT last season. The Lions are coming off a historic 2021-22 campaign that saw it go 25-7, 12-2 Ivy, shattering program records in both wins and Ivy wins. They advanced to the Ivy League Tournament Championship and won three games in the WNIT, including a thrilling 17-point comeback against Boston College that marked the program's largest come-from-behind victory.
