MOUNT VERNON – Cornell's men's soccer program continued its dominance over rival Coe, celebrating a 4-2 Bremner Cup victory Wednesday night on the Rams' home turf.
 
Senior Blake Soto scored twice and George Archer assisted on two goals as the Rams recorded their fourth consecutive series win over Coe, and seventh victory in the last eight meetings of the rivalry.
 
Cornell (3-2-1) stretched its season winning streak to three matches and evened the 2022-23 Bremner Cup All-Sports Series at 2-2.   
 
This match started with a flurry of goals from both sides early and was 2-2 only six minutes in. Coe's second score at 5:59 also proved to be its last as the Rams settled in defensively.
 
Soto netted the go-ahead goal off an assist from Archer in the 47th minute, giving the Rams a 3-2 lead. Zach Miller added another score at the 49-minute mark for the final margin of victory.
 
Soto set the tone with a quick strike from Miller only 95 seconds into the match. After the Kohawks (1-6-1) answered, sophomore Aidan Lerch pushed the Rams back in front, 2-1, on an assist from Archer in the fourth minute.
 
Cornell goalkeeper Will Bickel went the entire distance and collected a pair of saves.
 
The Rams finished with 13 shot attempts, coming from nine different players. Miller, Soto, Archer and Lerch had two shots apiece.
 
The Kohawks (1-6-1) were limited to eight total shots. The Rams held a 6-3 advantage in corner kicks.
  
Coming up – The Rams travel to Galesburg, Ill., Saturday for the anticipated Midwest Conference opener against defending MWC champion Knox. It's the teams' first meeting since the MWC Tournament Final last November. Start time is 1 p.m.
