djk26 Inside Lacrosse article on the Cornell/Delaware game Inside Lacrosse "First thing I'll say… It's great to be here,” Delaware coach and Cornell alum Ben DeLuca said to open his team’s postgame press conference, an homage to legendary Cornell head coach Richie Moran, who coached DeLuca as a freshman and died on April 24. That's pretty classy from DeLuca. Completely agree. His tby Swampy - Other Sports

mike1960 djk26 dag14 Penn has its hands full with Richmond. Tied halfway through the 4th period; going to OT Penn survives in OT, 11-10. Well designed and executed play out of the time out. They must have spotted some tendencies. The skip pass drew three defenders, including the crease attack defender, leaving a shooter in front of the crease wide open. Handley played a key role.

Re: New indoor campus recreation & sports center - 2 years ago
billhoward An indoor stadium for game play needs to have a tall roof. The Dallas Cowboys stadium center screen hangs 90 feet above the field. I don't know what height is required to not affect 90% or 95% of long soccer kicks or long lacrosse clearing passes. In football, it's a do-ever in Dallas. But you could also have game-tracker cameras tell you where the ball would come down if it hadn't hidby Swampy - Other Sports

RichH billhoward mike1960If we keep winning, we don't see Maryland until the last game. This is real opportunity. They don't come around that often. I hope the guys are fired up through the roof. Of the domed stadium Cornell does not, may never have. Do you want a domed stadium or a lacrosse-only facility like Princeton’s? Or a bubble over the football field like Harvard?

Ken711 billhoward CAS Cornell has retained an architectural firm which is currently designing the building. Don’t know where the building will be located. This could be a transformational facility for Cornell athletics if the facility was covered and had enough room for 1,000-2,500 spectators.

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 2 years ago
We lost by 3, and we were very sloppy. I’ll be curious to see our unforced turnover numbers. For some reason, they tried to beat Yale’s 10-man ride by passing the length of the field. I think it never worked. Yale’s Chris Fake got revenge on Jake Pulver’s goal against Yale in the 2018 ILT. Fake, a defenseman, scored a goal with a shot from near GLE by the Yale goal. Also, IIRC, Fake was guaby Swampy - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 2 years ago
Trotsky I have no idea whether Noel sucks but he has managed to keep Schafer at Cornell all these years. I'm sure there have been poachers. Another reason to give kudos to Andy. Now if ADs were scored the way RPIs are, we'd have to consider football, etc. The question would be, "Does Andy get an AQ, an at-large invite, no invite, or relegation?"by Swampy - Other Sports

upprdeck the big deal is can he get the recruits to keep it going more than 1 yr in a row.. we lose some pretty big pieces of the puzzle this year and we had very little depth.. some big shoes to fill next yr I’m too lazy/busy to give you the link, but IIRC, Inside Lacrosse ranks our incoming recruits second-highest in the Ivies.by Swampy - Other Sports

Ken711 mike1960 billhoward Artificial turf for the lax tournament. Also: Seats 3,500 -- could that be a problem? Although Cornell at Princeton only drew 2,011 fans Saturday at a 4,000-seat stadium that has been filled in earlier years. Much prefer an artificial field. A muddy track can be a leveler, and I think we're a better team than Yale. Brown's lacrosse stadium has an artificial turf suby Swampy - Other Sports

Trotsky billhowardPardon me if you're class of '00 or younger and think, HUGARA (who gives ....). I don't think anybody is like that when it comes to our golden years, in lax or hockey.

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2022 - 2 years ago
mike1960 We need to get out on the shooters. Brown is certainly getting out on our shooters. The cutter needs to catch and shoot or quick stick. There's no time to cradle. They'll get swarmed by the defense. We’re being hurt by our lack of balance and outside shooting. When one player gets 5 of 8 goals, it’s easy for the other team’s defense to clog the middle.
