Very difficult to play your very best lacrosse across multiple weeks, which Michigan has been doing. Like our chances.by semsox - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2023 - 7 months ago
upprdeck the PSU loss is stopping us from being a top 4 seed right now. But we need to play at another level higher to go anywhere they want to really get. I think it's the other loss that's hurting us. No one's going to ding us too bad for losing to a Top 5-10 PSU team.by semsox - Other Sports

BearLover CU77 And per fanlax poster laxfan1313: Lombardi will be returning next year. Glad all these lax players are returning but I’m sad the hockey players couldn’t manage the same. Also bummer that Teat and Donville didn’t opt to extend their Cornell careers. Subtract Donville from Maryland and add him to Cornell last year and…well…you do the math… While admittedly knowing nothing aboutby semsox - Other Sports

Better that Yale made it. Even with their slow start, they have a top 10 RPI.by semsox - Other Sports

Good guys win. Wouldn't have been so if Adler hadn't had a truly outrageous sequence to prevent a Princeton ground ball that was going to give them a numbers advantage with no defense really in placeby semsox - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse Princeton 4/29/23 noon - 7 months ago
That was going to be a dispiriting possession for someone, and I'm glad it didn't end up being us. Kelleher taps it in off of a scramble after Princeton made several great defensive plays. 8-7 Cornellby semsox - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse Princeton 4/29/23 noon - 7 months ago
Tied up at 7. Cornell has the ball with a minute left. Coyle has had a brutal game so far, with some really awful turnovers. Need to get CJ and Long more involved in the offense. Also hopeful Buczek has some halftime adjustmentsby semsox - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse at Brown 4/22 - 7 months ago
Not at all meant as a criticism, but really nice to see CJ letting the offense come to him a bit more. 7 of his 15 assists in the last 4 games, and for as prolific a goal scorer as he is, there were some times earlier in the year where there was a fear the offense was too one-dimensional/reliant on him. Long being back maybe a big part of that shift.by semsox - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2023 - 7 months ago
Acknowledging we likely won't know with any certainty until late next year, my baseline assumption would be that CJ will use all of his eligibility at Cornell.by semsox - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2023 - 7 months ago
billhoward We're discussing who belongs behind the cage at X, who should be out front, who on the wings. On a simpler level, with Michael Long back, is this or is this not the most powerful attack in Division 1 this year? A question worthy of asking, though it would be surprising if so considering it's likely the worst Cornell attack of the last 3 calendar years. Even with Kirst's developmeby semsox - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2023 @ Harvard 4/8/23 - 8 months ago
I will be at the game tomorrow and hoping to see a good effort from the team, though I admit, my recent track record with live Cornell sporting events has been less than stellar: vs. Princeton Men's Bball Ivy Semis (2022) - 73-77 L vs. Maryland Lax Championship (2022) - 7-9 L @BU Men's Hockey (2023) - 3-4 L vs. BU Men's Hockey NCAAs (2023) - 1-2 Lby semsox - Other Sports

Elsewhere, Penn beats Yale 17-16, dropping Yale to 0-3 in the Ivy. Harvard beat Colgate 14-10, and Princeton is up 7-6 on Brown at the half.by semsox - Other Sports

3 goals for Blake today. Looking much more confident than he did earlier in the season. We'll need production from our midfield, so great to seeby semsox - Other Sports

Meanwhile, Penn up 5-1 on Yale, and you have to think there's a real chance Yale doesn't even make the ILTby semsox - Other Sports

Looks like no Long again. Don't hate it if it increases his chances of playing during the stretch runby semsox - Other Sports
Re: B1G first round dominance - 8 months ago
While 8-0 is an asskicking, I believe 8-1 is a "Gentleman's asskicking", and it appears Michigan has agreed to those terms. About 10 min left in the 3rdby semsox - Hockey

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2023 - 8 months ago
I'll post the same thing I posted in lax forum, because I am still frustrated: What a frustrating game. I think it was easy enough to look past the offensive limitations in the previous games where we came out on top, but no more. If we fancy this team as serious contenders in late May, the offense needs to be better and more efficient, period. While I understand the attack is in flux with Lonby semsox - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2023 - 8 months ago
Very frustrating half so far, but defense holding strong. Offense needs to pass the ball around. Too much isolated initiation.by semsox - Other Sports
