After facing Cornell and Columbia, Yale remains undefeated and number one in the Ivy League with a 16-game winning streak
In another weekend of Ivy League play, Yale’s volleyball team (18–1, 10–0 Ivy) swept Cornell University (4–15, 2–8) and Columbia University (4–15, 1–9). With the two victories, they extended their win streak to 16 and overall record to 18–1, bringing their winning percentage up to .947, the third-best mark in the nation. “This team has got to be one of my favorites of all time,” head coach Erin Appleman said about this year’s team. “Our defense this past weekend was exceptional. We have great chemistry.” The Bulldogs’ first set — a Friday night matchup against Cornell — was competitive until the midway point of the period. Both teams battled back and forth, as the Blue and White clawed to a

The Yale football team (5–2, 3–1 Ivy) posted one of its most impressive victories of the season, defeating Columbia University (3–4, 0–4 Ivy) in a lopsided 41–16 score. Despite one fewer day of preparation than ordinary weeks, the Bulldogs came out firing on all cylinders in front of a crowd of 3,551 fans on Friday night. “Friday was a great team win,” offensive lineman and captain Nick Gargiulo ’23 said. “We were executing well in all three facets of the game.” Just over six minutes into the first quarter, Columbia kicker Alex Felkins tallied the first three points of the game with a 17–yard field goal.
Determined to answer back, under two minutes later, quarterback Nolan Grooms ’24 connected with wide receiver Ryan Lindley ’24 on a beautiful overthe-shoulder deep ball for Yale’s first touchdown of the game. The 83-yard touchdown pass tied the mark for the fifth longest in school history. “The offense was able to establish success in the pass game,” Gargiulo said. “Chase Nenad [’24] and Ryan Lindley both had breakout performances.” Over the course of the game, Grooms threw a career-high 346 yards and four touchdowns. Lindley also had an impressive game, catching six passes for 100 yards and two touchdowns. The Lions snapped back less than three minutes into the second frame, with a 13-yard run
into the endzone for a touchdown, although the Bulldogs’ defense stopped an attempt for the two-point conversion. While Columbia briefly had a lead, kicker Jack Bosman ’24 booted a 41-yard field goal with 9:27 left in the half to give Yale a 10–9 advantage. “Give Columbia credit, they have a great defense and it made for some tough sledding in the first half,” head coach Tony Reno said to Yale Athletics. “Our guys did a great job of staying the course and making some plays in the second half.” A minute and 24 seconds after the Bulldogs scored, Columbia regained the lead again, as Lions quarterback Caden Bell threw a 64 yard pass to wide receiver JJ SEE FOOTBALL PAGE 10
14–11 lead. After a successful sixpoint streak, the Bulldogs surged to 20–11. The Blue and White ended the set with a kill by Mila Yarich ’25 to take the period by a score of 25-17. The Big Red, unfazed by the Bulldogs’ late first-period momentum, opened the second set with a renewed competitive spirit, fighting to stay close. With just a 16–15 lead, Cara Shultz ’25 landed a kill to shift momentum in the Bulldogs’ direction. The Elis went on to have another six-point streak with two kills, a service ace and a block, and they cruised comfortably to a 25–20 victory in the set. The third set followed a similar script to the first two sets, as YALE ATHLETICS

The Bulldogs (7–5–3, 2–1–2 Ivy) own Reese Stadium. With what is now a record five straight shutouts, Yale is unbeaten at home. Saturday’s match against Columbia University (7–4–3, 3–2–1) extended what is now a seven-game win streak in Blue and White territory. In a battle for third place and also on senior night, the Bulldogs triumphed over the Lions in a match that ended 1–0. Marz Akins ’25 was the author of the goal with
an assist from Ellie Rappole ’25. “It felt amazing to score the game-winning goal during a physical game against Columbia,” Akins wrote to the News. “It is a testament to all the hard work put into our preparation leading up to the game and the versatility of our back line to also be dangerous in the attack.” The goal took place in the 38th minute of the first half. Rappole had the ball on the left side of the field, and delivered a cross into the box straight to Akins, who dodged a Lions defender and brought the ball to the net.
The California native’s goal was the sole point of the match. This was also Akins’ first career goal playing for the Bulldogs. “I wouldn’t have been able to get the opportunity to score without Ellie’s aggression and dominance offensively,” Akins wrote. “It felt amazing getting my first career goal at Yale and I look forward to scoring more!” The defense shined once again on Saturday night as they kept the score 1–0. Columbia had eight shots on goal and SEE SOCCER PAGE 10

With Camilla Emsbo ’23 sitting out for the year, the women's basketball team looks to build on results from last season. BY HENRY FRECH CONTRIBUTING REPORTER The Yale women’s basketball team has seen major changes since the end of last season. While the team welcomed a new head coach — former WNBA player Dalila Eshe — leading player Camilla Emsbo ’23 was ruled out for the year due to an ACL injury. Amid the changes, the Bulldogs remain focused on one goal: improving from last year. The Blue and White finished last season third in the Ivy League with an overall record of 16–11 and a conference record of 9–5. “Overall [last season] was fine,” said Jenna Clark ’24. “We knew we could have done a lot better, we lost some games we shouldn’t have.”
The Bulldogs will travel near and far for their non-conference schedule this season. Most of their games will be against teams from around the Northeast, but two will take place in Denver, Colorado, where the Blue and White will compete in the University of Denver Classic from Nov 25-26. Success in the non-conference schedule will impact the team’s overall record, which holds sway over the Bulldogs’ ultimate goal: placement into a postseason tournament at the end of the year. “Obviously [the goal] is making the [Ivy League] tournament but then once we get there going to a postseason tournament,” Clark said.
