Jake Fiegen hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with one second remaining as Cornell upset first-place Yale 72-69 on Friday night in Ithaca, New York. The Big Red snapped a five-game losing streak to the Bulldogs, their last win coming in February 2024, including a 34-point loss earlier this season.

Fiegen led five double-figure scorers with 17 points, adding eight rebounds and four assists. He shot 7-of-12 from the field and 3-of-6 from beyond the arc. Cooper Noard added 16 points on 6-for-16 shooting, while Josh Baldwin contributed 13 points on 4-of-5 shooting from the field. As a team, Cornell shot 14-of-35 from 3-point range.

The win improved Cornell to 6-6 in Ivy League play and moved them into sole possession of fourth place with two games remaining. The top four teams advance to the Ivy Madness tournament, with the winner securing the league's automatic NCAA bid.
