NEW YORK — Four Columbia athletics programs are featured in this week's edition of Lions on the Road. Every week, GoColumbiaLions.com will be using "Lions on the Road" to preview that week's upcoming games and events happening off campus.

VOLLEYBALL
The Lions earned their first Ivy League victory of the season last Saturday afternoon with a road win over the Cornell Big Red, and will look to ride that momentum into a two-match road trip this weekend. Hailee Watts led the way for Columbia, smashing 13 kills en route to the victory. Anna Gioranidi had a career afternoon, tallying a career-high 11 kills along with a career-high 13 digs to secure her first career double-double. The Lions will look to keep things going against Dartmouth on Friday and Harvard on Saturday, two teams in the middle of the pack in the Ivy League standings.

The Lions are back on the road to take on Yale at the Yale Bowl Saturday afternoon.

Columbia is still leading the nation in scoring defense (12.3) and red zone defense (55.6%). Quarterback Joe Green made his season debut against the Big Green, completing 25-of-41 passes for 239 yards and added a rushing touchdown. Senior linebacker Anthony Roussos posted his fourth double-figure tackle game of the season and ranks No. 12 in FCS in solo tackles per game (5.8).
