The Cornell women's lacrosse team faced a challenging match against the University of Pennsylvania, ultimately falling 8-7 in sudden-death overtime on April 18. After a slow start that saw the Big Red trailing 3-0 in the first quarter, they rallied to score five consecutive goals, taking a 5-3 lead. Despite a scoreless second and third quarter, Cornell's defense held strong, allowing them to stay within striking distance. In a dramatic fourth quarter, Ellie Bergin netted the equalizer with just over two minutes remaining, forcing the game into overtime. However, Penn capitalized on their first possession in the extra period to secure the win.

Meanwhile, the Cornell men's golf team finished tied for ninth at the Roar-EE Invitational held at Wiltwyck Golf Club on April 19. The Big Red posted a two-round total of 580 (+4), rebounding from a first-round score of 293 (+5) to shoot 287 (-1) in the second round. Tyler Debusschere led the team, tying for 24th individually with a score of 145 (+1), including a second-round 71. Teammates TJ Betlow, Shep Davis, and Adithya Venkataraghavan each tied for 42nd at 147 (+3), with Betlow achieving a career-low round of 70. The team will look to build on this performance in their upcoming competitions.
