And the Red’s pitching — which has finished in the bottom half of the Ivy League for three consecutive seasons — finally looks competitive. In its first weekend of conference play, Cornell (7-8, 2-1 Ivy) finally flipped the script on the Bulldogs (7-12, 1-2 Ivy). The weekend represents just the second time Cornell has started its Ivy League campaign with a series win since the pandemic. The Red will likely face Brielle Wright — the 2025 Ivy League Pitcher of the Year — and Cassidy Shaw, who finished last season with a combined record of 25-14. In 2025, Wright pitched 11 1/3 shutout innings against Cornell, while Shaw picked up a complete-game win in game two of the Tiger’s sweep.
