CORNELL BIG RED WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

The Ivy LeagueD1-FCSwinter

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Emily Garner directs Cornell's women's basketball program at Newman Arena in Ithaca, where the Big Red are navigating a challenging 2024-25 season with an 8-15 overall record and 2-6 conference mark in Ivy League play. The team's offensive output averages 54.9 points per game while allowing 61.8, a deficit that reflects competitive struggles across their 14-player roster. Cornell's home court has been particularly difficult terrain this season, with the Big Red posting just a 2-9 mark at Newman Arena compared to a 6-6 record on the road—a disparity that underscores the team's search for consistency.

Operating within Cornell University's enrollment of 26,793 students since the institution's founding in 1865, the program competes in one of college basketball's most academically rigorous conferences. The Big Red have managed to maintain a winning record away from Ithaca despite their overall struggles, suggesting that travel and neutral environments may suit Garner's squad better than their home setup. With 14 athletes on the roster, Cornell continues to build toward stronger performances in an Ivy League conference known for its competitive depth and demanding schedule.
