3-1 RED, early in second quarter.
Hofstra has game on video (free but you have to set up an account -- but need Flash, so NG for ipad. Free audio on ILDN....)

now 4-3 Red. Two EMO goals for Hofstra, and the third was right after a Cornell penalty ended. Now another penalty on Cornell. We've been committing way to many penalties recently. Lacrosse is officiated differently in 2014, and the coaches have to get the players to adapt.

Now 4-4 after the EMO goal. Knight started hot, but having trouble on the low shots of late.

Hofstra leads 6-4 at the half, outscoring Cornell 6-1 in the 2nd quarter. Cornell hit a crossbar that would have made it 4-1 Red, but it was all downhill from there. Problems that plagued the Red in the past two losses are killing us again.

Interesting about the crossbar. Cornell scored a fifth goal against Harvard that would have made it 5-1 Cornell, but it was disallowed with someone in the crease. Little thing can turn games.scoop85

Had the same thought. Amazing the eb and flow that you can see in virtually any sport. I guess that's why we watch (although I get so irritated sometimes I don't know why I do )

4 quick goals by Red to erase a 7-4 Hofstra lead. 8-7 Red.
Edit - Lintner! 9-7 10 minutes left.

Hofstra wins 10-9. We got possession in OT after causing a TO, then gave it right back. Hofstra used bounce shots all day to beat Knight (who otherwise was pretty good), and did it again.
We hit at least 4 pipes today, including one on a point-blank shot while leading 9-7 with all the momentum. Would've pretty much clinched it I think, but instead led to a crushing loss.

Report from Shuart Stadium. The previous posters saw the same game we saw in the stadium:
* Cornell hit too many outsides of the pipe. If a pipe is half a goal, we win 13-9 in regulation.
* Nice job on faceoffs.
* Impressive run of 5 Cornell goals ... yet that only put us up by 2.
* Bad luck in OT losing the ball out of bounds to start overtime. It was just one of those things but in lax when you give up the ball in your defensive end and the other team needs to score just once to win, odds don't always favor the better team.
* Too bad this isn't the 1970s where you play a full OT period and first goal doesn't win. That was how we beat Maryland 16-13 for a national championship.
* Again no goals from Matt Donovan, but 2 assists this game.
* Too many penalties taken by Cornell.
Cornell is better, has to be better, than the last 3 games. This is the best of our 3 losses. Thank you, Penn, for taking down Harvard in OT. Doesn't matter that Cornell and Harvard are tied; if both win out Harvard hosts the Ivy tournament. We need Yale (Princeton would be unlikely) to take down Harvard to create a multi-way tie that we could win.
