The Big Red's 2–5 conference record placed sixth in the Ivy League standings. Cornell was outscored 219 to 120 by Ivy opponents.[2]
Like most of the Ivy League, Cornell played nine games instead of the usual 10, after the school made the decision to cancel its September 15 season opener against Bucknell, following the September 11 attacks.[3]
Cornell played its home games at Schoellkopf Field in Ithaca, New York.
