Field Hockey ready for Cornell without Lange

(09/19/03 9:00am)

The Penn field hockey team might be without a key member of its offense during tomorrow's game. Senior co-captain Jackie Lange -- who injured her right ankle three minutes into Wednesday's game against Lafayette -- is questionable for Penn's game tomorrow against Cornell. The extent of her injury will be determined in a few days. The Quakers (1-3, 0-1 Ivy) will look to rebound from their heartbreaking loss to Lafayette on Wednesday when they take on the Big Red at 12 p.m. on Franklin Field. "It's always a big game when we play Cornell," Lange said in an interview before the Lafayette game. "We have split the series evenly for the years I've been here." Last year, the Quakers lost to Cornell, 1-0, but they beat the Big Red in 2001 in overtime, 2-1. This year, the Red and Blue will try to muster enough offensive firepower to defeat the Big Red (2-2, 1-0) without the help of their fourth-leading scorer from last year. During the Lafayette game, the Quakers failed to convert six penalty corners, and eventually gave up the game-winning goal with under a minute to play. With Lange -- as well as junior Cecilia Carriquiry -- on the sidelines, Penn junior Liz Lorelli becomes the Quakers' lone returning double-digit scorer from last year. The forward leads the team with three goals on the season. On the defensive end, freshman goalie Elizabeth Schlossberg -- who also was injured in the Lafayette game -- is expected to play tomorrow. Schlossberg will switch off with sophomore goalkeeper Amanda Jacobs, who was forced to play all but nine minutes against Lafayette. "Our two goalies really have different styles of play," Penn coach Val Cloud said. "I think the best thing is to use both of them 'til one demonstrates better play over the other." The Penn goalies will have their hands full this weekend with a veteran-laden Cornell team that returns three all-region players and eight starters. Leading the Cornell attack will be senior forwards Carissa Mirasol and Lindsay Grace -- who were selected first- and second-team All-Ivy last year, respectively. The Big Red shut out Columbia, 3-0, in their Ivy League opener last week. Already one game behind in the standings, the Quakers know that Saturday's game is a must win if they hope to challenge the top teams in the Ancient Eight this season. "The Cornell game will be really big because it's important in the Ivy standings," Lange said. "The Ivies will be up in the air this year -- we want to make an impact."
