Currently riding a three-game winning streak, the Crimson (9-6, 1-0 Ivy) is set to hit to road to take on conference foes Columbia (2-14, 1-1) and Cornell (4-12, 1-1) on Jan. 28 and 29.
Before the storm began, coach Kathy Delaney-Smith made it clear the snow would not keep her athletes from practicing.
“We’re here and the weather doesn’t affect us,” she said. “We don’t even look out the window. We play the sport in a warm gym… [A snow day is] not even on the list of options.”
The concern, according to Delaney-Smith, is actually making the drive.
“I’m hoping and believing the storm will be over by noon, and [we’ll] give the highway department four or five hours to get the roads done and head out in the middle of the afternoon,” she noted. “You know, it’s highway all the way. I’m thinking the storm will be over and the roads will be taken care of by that point, hopefully.”
