CEDAR RAPIDS – Cornell earned its first Bremner Cup point of 2022-23, and the women's soccer team its first win of the season with Wednesday's 2-1 decision over Coe at Clark Field.
 
The Rams (1-2) went to work early against their Linn County rival, building a 2-0 advantage in the first half. Cornell's defense held strong virtually the entire way, keeping the Kohawks (0-3) off the scoreboard for the initial 88:25 of regulation.
 
Sophomore Elissafe Moreno gave Cornell a 1-0 cushion on an assist from Elise Hermiston at the 33-minute mark. The Rams struck again in the 41st minute with an unassisted tally from Sanne Croes.
 
Starting freshman goalkeeper Sabrina Ibanez notched the victory, working 56 scoreless minutes in net and carding one save. Krystin Kamrath came on to finish the match and notched one save.
 
Cornell attempted all eight of its shots in the opening half when the Rams took control. Hermiston and Moreno finished with three attempts apiece. Coe had seven total shots.
  
Coming up – The Rams travel to play NAIA's Clarke University at 7 p.m. Friday in Dubuque.
