The video for the women's lacrosse game has this game on now. Credit to semsox who let me know. I guess he figured that out be being frustrated and clicking everywhere.

Team making a statement. 8-0 so far.

11-1 at the half. We got a bit sloppy late in the 2nd, but the playing conditions are rough out there, so it's understandable. Just play a sound 2nd half and hopefully cruise to a win with no drama.

Snow removal from the field. The wonder of spring sports in Ithaca.

Fiore playing very well. Offense on fire. now 12-2

14-2. Stop the fight.

He shot 25% in 2011 when he won the Enners Award.

Nice quote from Colgate coach Mike Murphy in the Colgate athletics post-game write-up:

“Since the start of my coaching career, I've always been very impressed with the level of intensity that the young men who go here play with,” Murphy said of Cornell. “They really showed that today. If you're an alum of this place, you should be proud of your team because they play at a different level.”

I guess a one hour highlight video would be too much to ask for?

Nice link Al, Good pictures in the gallery there too. Look at them in enlarged view.

@Johnny 5- a guy on Laxpower boards, Laxfan1313 often posts good game videos on Youtube. You might look there in a coupla days.

It came up on the game thread that after we got to 19 we did everything possible not to reach 20. Out of curiousity I hunted down the NCAA record for goals in a game: 38, by Virginia vs VMI about 15 years ago.

Did goal differential used to figure in the rankings, or was Virginia just being dicks?

The latter.

Will do. Thanks!!

It has been a long-standing Cornell tradition not to exceed 19 goals in a blowout out of respect for a beleaguered opponent. And I don't believe they will shoot on an open net unless the outcome of the game is still in doubt. Yesterday the Colgate goalie was out of the net red-dogging and Coach DeLuca saw a player ready to shoot at the wide-open net so he called a time out and the officials waved off the 20th goal. I am sure something was said during that timeout but whether with patience or anger was not evident from the stands....

I think that 19 goal stopping point started with Bill Tierney's powerful Princeton teams of the early 90's - and was soon picked up by others.

Apropos of nothing, the score of 19 in lacrosse always makes me think of cribbage, where it is impossible to get a "19 point hand," so it is common to refer to any zero-point hand as a 19 pointer. A 19-pointer in lacrosse is slightly better!
