MOUNT VERNON – Cornell's women's soccer team picked up a needed win against an opportune opponent Saturday afternoon on its home turf.
 
Kylie Hard and Maddalin Doran netted second-half goals and lifted the Rams to a 2-0 Bremner Cup victory over Coe. The win gives Cornell a 3-1 lead in the 2021-22 Bremner Cup All-Sport Series through four fall competitions.
 
The Rams (2-4) dominated their Linn County rival (1-5-1) from the onset, holding a decisive 23-4 advantage in total shots en route to their second shutout win of the season.
 
Despite Cornell's control of the match, the teams went into the halftime break scoreless. The Rams broke into the scoring column one minute into the second half on Hard's first collegiate goal off a nice feed from Sam O'Brien, making it 1-0.
 
Junior Maddalin Doran found the back of the net for an insurance goal in the 72nd minute, her first tally of the season. Senior Marina Mayorga delivered the assist that put the Rams ahead 2-0.
 
Elise Thomason-Larsen earned the victory in goal, notching four saves in 85 minutes. Eva Todd came on to finish the shutout at keeper for the Rams.
 
O'Brien paced Cornell's attack with seven shots, three on goal. Elise Hermiston attempted five shots.
