The Johnnies wrap up non-conference play with the Big Red on ESPN3
The St. John's women's soccer team welcomes Ivy League foe Cornell to Belson Stadium on Saturday at 3 p.m., for its final match before the start of BIG EAST play.
The Johnnies' contest with the Big Red can be viewed on ESPN3, available on the ESPN.com/watch and the ESPN app. John Fanta will be on the call from Queens.
Following its setback to Drexel last Sunday, the Red Storm will look to get back in the win column on Saturday at home. Despite the loss, junior forward Alex Madden netted the first goal of her St. John's career against the Dragons. Addison Hornsey and Maia Cabrera each picked up an assist on the play. The helper marked the first of Hornsey's career and the fourth for Cabrera.
Madden is one of four Johnnies to find the back of the net this season, joining Zsani Kajan, Isabelle Aviza and Samantha Masur. Kajan leads the Red Storm in scoring with a pair of tallies on the year.
Sunday marked the fourth time this season that the Johnnies played their opponent for more than 90 minutes and the third time they reached double overtime this year.
The contest with the Big Red marks the third all-time meeting between St. John's and Cornell with the Johnnies boasting 2-0 advantage.
In the most recent contest between the two programs, St. John's bested Cornell, 4-0, on Sept. 2, 2007. In the Red Storm's shutout victory over the Big Red, Krystle Jalalian tallied two goals for the Red Storm, while Raelynne Lee and Kelly McConnell picked up the other two scores.
The first meeting between the squads came during the 2002 ECAC Championship, with the Red Storm winning, 2-1, in penalty kicks to claim the title.
Cornell enters Saturday's contest with a 4-1-0 record, having quadrupled its win total from last year. Sophomore Jadyn Matthews and freshman Ashley Durik lead the team in scoring with two goals apiece.
All three of Cornell's goalkeepers have earned starts between the pipes this season. Freshman Nicole Shulman has played the most minutes for the Big Red, boasting a 3-1 record with a 0.62 goals against average and a .833 save percentage.
Following play with Cornell, the Red Storm will kick off conference play on Saturday, Sept. 28, in Providence, R.I., for a 6 p.m. matchup with the Friars.
