Re: Men's lax: CU-Notre Dame Sunday 4/14/24 - 11 days ago
Bit of a heartbreaker, but I bet Notre Dame doesn't want to have to face Cornell again. I was mostly hoping that Cornell would win so they'd stay North if they get to the second round of the NCAAs. Any chance that still happens? (A LOT of lacrosse to go to even qualify for the tournament at all, let alone the second round, but I'm just wondering.)by djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Men's lax: CU-Notre Dame Sunday 4/14/24 - 11 days ago
12-12 now, 4:58 to go in 3rd period. Cornell has outscored Notre Dame 5-1 in this period. Time for our LETHAL attack unti to continue its roll.by djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 21 days ago
Cornell95 I went to the SU game with my brother and sister (SU fans, I tolerate them LOL) and we had no issues getting tickets walking up. I wouldnt expect the crowd to be larger for Brown (less rain but still chilly, and I assume no Brown fans while SU had some diehards in attendance) bathrooms and a concession were open. I thought the tickets were still $10, but it does look like they havby djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Men's Lax Syracuse at Cornell 4/2/2024 - 21 days ago
Al DeFlorio But a ridiculous way to decide a game when a goal is scored every two minutes. They did it right in 1976. Would you want sudden death in basketball? My thoughts exactly.by djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 21 days ago
Ticketing question My family and I are visiting Cornell this Saturday. I see there is a game against Brown at 12:00 p.m. If there's any chance I can convince them to the game for awhile, I would love to do that. I know these games don't sell out, and it's spring break, so I'm not expecting big crowds. Do they sell tickets at the gate, or do I have to buy them in advance?

Re: Men's Lax Syracuse at Cornell 4/2/2024 - 22 days ago
It was a game neither team deserved to lose (and, arguably, neither team deserved to win with long stretches of bafflingly bad play on each side.) But I am reminded of what I have felt since at least, oh, 2009. Lacrosse overtimes should not end in sudden death. I don't know how long this rule has been in place, I know it wasn't there when Cornell played Maryland for the national championship iby djk26 - Other Sports

semsox Not allowed to lose two 2OT games in a row. Phew Thank you! During the second OT, I ALMOST posted, "We can't lose two double overtime games in a row, can we?" then realized how ridiculously bad the karma of such a post would be before the end of the game.by djk26 - Other Sports

Re: NCAA Round 1 - Maine - 27 days ago
I don't know whether to be happy about seeing Denver struggle to score or worried about their ability to shut down UMass. Both UMass and Denver goalies looked very good yesterday; glad we only have to face one of them. I know that Denver is a stronger team than Maine, but I ame excited to see Cornell try to beat them.

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 4 weeks ago
Al DeFlorio jjanow99 Goldstein unsportsmanlike penalty with 6 seconds to go, what was that? Looked like he was taunting a Yale defender. Can't know what went on during the game that led to that. Ugh--I was coming here to ask the same question, and that's the answer I feared. It's not a good look for our best young player to taunt the opposition after his best game.

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 4 weeks ago
Ken711 Final: 18-15 Cornell over Yale This is Cornell's best win of the seson. Very satifying. I thought going into the game that Yale was the best team in the Ivy League (and they still may be--at least twice in recent years Cornell has beaten Yale in the regular season, only to lose to them in the ILT.) Today was Ryan Goldstein's coming out party--FIVE goals, wow. The Kirst/Goldstein comboby djk26 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2024 - 4 weeks ago
Real barn burner in Ithaca (not that anything could literally catch fire there in today's weather)-- 7-6 Cornell leading Yale at halftime. My biggest fear has not so far been realized--Yale is leading in faceoffs (9-6) but not dominating. I do worry that Cornell's faceoff men tend to fade a little as the game goes on-something to keep an eye on in the second half. Cornell's frosh goaltendeby djk26 - Other Sports

Re: MLAX: @Denver 2/24 - 2 months ago
dag14 FYI, the general admission ticket price is $25 per person plus fees for online purchase. Not sure about DU students but the "discounted" price announced by the Cornell Club of CO was $20. I will never complain about the price of admission in Ithaca again. $25 for a regular season lacrosse game?by djk26 - Other Sports

Today's results--win over Brown, loss to Penn. Finish sixth at the Ivy League championship. Colubmia shares the title with Princeton and Penn. Next on March 10 is Northeastern regionals in Brooklyn; Cornell will send 12 fencers.by djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Women's Fencing - 2 months ago
Rough day at the Ivy League Championship as #4 Cornell goes 0-4 with losses to #3 Harvard, #1 Columbia, #11 Princeton, #9 Yale. Big surprise is Princeton, who also upset Harvard and Columbia and now sits in first place. Presumably tomorrow's opponents are only #18 Brown and #6 Penn as Dartmouth does not have a team.by djk26 - Other Sports

I thought this team (now #7) deserved some love after upsetting then #2 Notre Dame this weekend. They went 11-1 at the Northwestern Duals, including wins over #2 Notre Dame, #14 Stanford, #13 Ohio State. Only loss was to the host, #8 Northwestern. Interestingly, though Cornell is now #7 in the country, there are three Ivy teams ahead of them (#1 Columbia, #3 Harvard, #5 Penn.) Yale is at #8by djk26 - Other Sports
Re: Ceramic Dalmatians, 2024 - 4 months ago
Will In fairness to BU, they also posted a win over then-#3 Quinnipiac since last week's poll. Ah, thank you...I should have checked their other recent games before posting. Qunninipiac is tough; BU beating them makes our win over BU seem even better. (What's that you say? It also makes our loss to QU seem worse?
