Columbia wom the Women's Compound Collegiate Championship at last year's event with Sachiko Keane being named the 2022 Compound College Women's National Champion. The Lions are coming off an impressive showing at the NJ State Indoors a few weeks ago. Keane won gold in the compound and Judith Gottlieb took gold in the recurve. Columbia swept the podium in each discipline.
LACROSSE
The Columbia lacrosse team will have a quick turnaround and be back at it on Saturday for a non-conference game against Monmouth. Fresh off a dominating, 16-4 victory over CCSU on Wednesday evening, the Lions will look to remain undefeated and begin the season 3-0 for the first time since 2009. The first-years have been sharp the begin the season for Columbia, as first-year Cecelia Messner had a team-high four goals in the season opener, and first-year Cordelia Flemming had a game-high four goals in the home opener last night. They will look to keep it going into game three, as will the defense which finished off an impressive game against CCSU last night where it allowed only three goals on seven shots on goal, and forced 21 turnovers.
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
The women's basketball team plays its final road game of the regular season on Saturday, looking to keep pace as it chases down its first Ivy League Championship in program history. Columbia enters with a record of 21-4, 10-2 Ivy, which is the best record through 25 games in program history. Abbey Hsu is coming off a stellar weekend in which she scored a career-high 35 points at Harvard and was named Ivy League Player of the Week for a fourth time this season. A win on Saturday against Brown would set the Lions up to clinch either a share or the outright Ivy League title next Saturday at home against Cornell.
