Lax pre-season poll / Cornell-Hopkins scrimmage 2/13

OMG - we've been thinking so much about hockey and hoops, I didn't realize Cornell lacrosse has one scrimmage under its belt last week at Colgate and was scheduled to scimmage Hopkins yesterday at Schoellkopf. Did it happen? How did it look? Enquiring minds want to know. LGR!
Season opens 2/27 at Hobart (moved from last to first game on account of the Ivy playoffs) then at Canisus then Army at home 3/6. Princeton is the last league game, 5/1, at Princeton. Cornell is pre-season #6, Princeton is #8. Note last year's final four this year is picked 1-2-3-6. Voter bias already?
March 12-13 is a must-return-to-Ithaca weekend. ECAC quarterfinals Friday and Saturday (God, please not Sunday) and we host Virginia (lax) Saturday 12 pm at Schoellkopf. Spring break is the following weekend so hockey tix will not be easy to come by in Ithaca. Albany a different matter. Lax schedule at [cornellbigred.com];

Word on laxpower was Hopkins won 8-6. We came out with an early 4-1 lead. Fiore was great in goal apparently.

*sob* OK. It's time for me to finally accept that He's gone. He's really gone.

In fact 6 may be too high. We definitely have to earn it this year.Josh '99

The poll is especially a WAG for Cornell which recruits many players from outside the LI/Upstate/Near South regions. Many years we seem to start off worse than our pre-season ranking and finish better. Good thing Princeton is late in the season.Jim Hyla

This is only one game ... but doesn't it feel nice to see Duke continuing to underperform? Early collapse, late collapse, but alway a collapse. Or is ND really that good?

Amen to seeing Duke go down in an early season tilt....again. When will the pollsters realize that they're overrated? And I didn't read the boxscore but I'm dying to see how many goals Greer and/or Danowski scored. They're STILL playing, right? I think Danowski has played in 125+ games in his career.

Maybe they think it's still the '70s and need a college deferment from the draft.Germ

Overrated, possibly, but aren't Cornell and Duke 1-2 or 2-1 in wins or winning percentage the past half-decade? Eventually Duke is going to break through. The campus (although badly split up through expansion) is more Ivy League than the Ivy League, and the very top players get scholarships.

Duke has multiple campuses and the campus shuttle is a part of life where Cornell's sprawling campus is pretty much contiguous. You don't need a shuttle bus at Cornell to get from upperclass to freshman housing. And the Duke buildings, such as the chapel (below), have as many spires and ancient stone as what you see in the Ancient Eight.Swampy

Late goal gives Hopkins an 8-7 win over Siena today.
Syracuse leading Army 5-4 mid-third in the warm-up game for Cornell-Hobart.
