Cornell baseball just won their first ever Gehrig division title!!!! That means they will play the winner of the Rolfe division for the Ivy League championship and a trip to the NCAA tournament. The most likely Rolfe division champ is Harvard and we'd have to go to their field to play the best of 3 series. LET'S GO RED!!!!

Harvard just rallied from 7-3 down to beat Dartmouth 9-8 in Game 1 of their doubleheader today. Brown beat Yale in Game 1 and combined with the fact that yesterday's doubleheader between Dartmouth and Harvard at Dartmouth was washed out and will be made up tomorrow, Brown still has a shot at the Rolfe division title and we may not know where Cornell will play for the championship till tomorrow. A Harvard win and Brown loss in their second games today would send Cornell to Harvard.
Still this is another example of an off-year for Princeton who had won the previous 9 Gehrig division titles (still impressive even with only four teams in the division).

Harvard rallied from 7-1 down to take the afternooncap 11-10. Brown also won their second game. The Rolfe division is still up in the air with Harvard needing to take one of two from Dartmouth tomorrow to win the division. If so, it's best 2 out of 3 next weekend (2 Saturday, 1 Sunday if necessary) at Harvard for the Ivy title. If Dartmouth should sweep, I believe there would be a one-game playoff between Harvard and Brown at some point this week.

Does 2004-05 seem to anybody else to be a remarkable year for Cornell sports? It seems like they are at/near the top in... damn near everything.

No, the games will be at either Harvard or Brown. Both have much better records than Cornell (14-4 and 14-6 vs. 11-9) and I suspect that's the determining factor.

Harvard over Dartmouth 10-6 in Game 1 of their doubleheader in Hanover today sends Cornell (11-9 Ivy) to Harvard (15-4 Ivy) for the championship series next weekend. Harvard took two from Cornell earlier this season and was 7-1 against the Gehrig Division overall.

That just shows how selective, and faulty, even short-term memory can be-
Cornell has won, I believe, 5 Ivy titles this year
(volleyball, wrestling, men's lax, women's track, and one that really hurt)-
but has finished DEAD LAST a remarkable 7 times!
(men's soccer and women's field hockey, basketball, fencing, ICE HOCKEY, squash, and tennis).
Harvard, by contrast, has won 11 titles and counting (far too many for me to list here...)
and has only been last once (women's lax).
The record for titles, IIRC, is Pton with 14 - doubtful, but still within reach, for Harvard this year.

Cornell swept the indoor Heps so that would make 6 titles.

I'm thinking more along the lines of a top-5 finish nationally in wrestling, with one individual national champ; a top-5 finish nationally in hockey, with one OT goal keeping them from Columbus; a national championship in Men's polo; a second place finish in women's polo; a top-5 ranking (currently) in lax, with a team that could make a serious run at Philly...add a much improved football team and a basketball team that swept Princeton for the first time in 20 years and, yeah, it feels like a pretty good year.

Translation: [Q]Well, my daddy has an even bigger car.[/q]
Of course our memory is selective. That's human nature. The sense that Cornell is having a remarkable year, relatively speaking, isn't just the product of championships. We've been doing much better than expected in several high-visibility sports -- not to mention having some unexpected national success in a few sports that matter a great deal to us, such as men's lacrosse. Example of the former: When the football team and the men's basketball play well after many, many miserable years and end up finishing second in the league, the net effect is much greater (feelgoodwise, dollarwise, good-vibes-rubbing-off-on-other-sports-wise, whatever) than, say, when Princeton wins yet another women's swimming title.
I look forward to catching the excitement of all those Harvard championships at eBeren and eMurr.

The Championship Series has been moved to Monday and Tuesday, the 9th and 10th, at Harvard due to a very stormy forecast for the Boston area this weekend.

Ice hockey? You mean women's? And you forgot the men's, thanks to a certain team losing to Dartmouth.

Oh, I thought he meant women's track really hurt, which I found a bit odd. Well, at least I got to pour salt on the wound.

With Harvard, appropriately, last in both the men's and women's competitions.

The Harvard women were dead last at the indoor Heps. The Harvard men were last in cross country. With the outdoor Heps today that makes five last place finishes.

And Game 2 just ended, 4-2 Harvard. Harvard sweeps the day, winning the championship. The Cornell starter had a great outing, but it wasn't enough.
All you really missed if you didn't tune in were the snide jokes about how the 4th best team in the league got to play Harvard for the Championship.
