Re: Women's Hockey 2014 - 10 years ago
Women defeat Yale 3-0. Again, not our best effort but also we faced solid goaltending by Yale [35+ saves]. Most disappointing was our power play that only went 1 for 6/7 .by dag14 - Hockey

Women's Hockey 2014 - 10 years ago
The women beat Brown 3-1. Saulnier scored short-handed for the first goal -- highlight reel material if those responsible for highlight reels actually thought that women's sports were worth noting on a highlight reel.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: General 2013-14 Wrestling thread - 10 years ago
Thanks for the link to the match video. I "watched" it via live stats and knew Gabe had won but had no idea he did so decisively, or that Ruth's winning streak was that impressive. Gabe Dean is the real deal.by dag14 - Other Sports
Re: Where to get a jersey? - 10 years ago
I was unable to be with my son and his wife for Christmas but we used technology to communicate. The grin on his face and the tears in his eyes when he described opening his game worn Cornell hockey sweater were priceless. He said he had been to the Cornell Store website and checked out replica jerseys since he needed a white hockey jersey for his adult hockey league. Didn't buy one, though.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Alumni Heroics - 10 years ago
There were 5 people who stopped to help, including the Shiers. It took all of them to save his life, even if they didn't all actually haul the guy out of the burning vehicle. I saw an interview with two of the other "heroes" -- who are lawyers from Syracuse. They made it clear that but for the collective effort it might have ended in tragedy.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Where to get a jersey? - 10 years ago
I bought a game-worn jersey this year as a Christmas present for someone. For $104 it was a great deal and it is even more special because of the authenticity. The small rips that have been repaired, the ECAC patch, the other signs that a lot of serious hockey was played in that sweater. The difference in quality between a "real" hockey sweater and a replica is significant so my adviby dag14 - Hockey
Re: Wome v. BC - 10 years ago
Final was 1-4, including a SHG I believe. BC appeared to have a lot more energy right from the get-go. We stayed with them for most of the first period but it was down hill after they scored.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Red Hot Hockey - 10 years ago
Women's game was at 4. I watched it on IDN starting with the opening faceoff. I am not sure how long it takes for a game to show up in the archives.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Yale 11/23 - 10 years ago
I am going to take a flyer and posit that Coach Schafer doesn't put together his game plan based on hockey analytics. If he thinks his players can beat a team to the puck, he will dump and chase. Last night he was right.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Yale 11/23 - 10 years ago
You are right. We were outshot 31-29. What other facet of the game did we not control? Time of possession? Hits? PP? PK? Not only was this our best game so far this season, this was the best game I have seen a Lynah since I can't remember when. Gives one hope for the rest of the season.by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Yale 11/23 - 10 years ago
I am going to disagree with Bearlover regarding the crowd. I thought it was pretty dead except at obvious times like when we scored a goal or Andy made a save. This was the defending national champions, for crying out loud. Cornell dominated every facet of the game and the place was silent. The band was presumably missing the football component so was a little rag-tag. The group that did pby dag14 - Hockey
Re: 11/8 RPI - 10 years ago
Their jerseys didn't make it on the bus for some reason and really nice fans offered their game-worn souveniers so the guys could play? Or RPI did the sportsman like thing an dug some out of their very old jersey collection?by dag14 - Hockey
Re: Women 2013-14 - 10 years ago
Women are hammering Princeton. 5-0 after 1 period. Not sure of the scoring since we got 3 in the last 2 minutes but Saulnier has at least one and Taylor Woods 2 goals. Second period Princeton did the hammering...4 unanswered goals to make it 5-4 at the start of the 3rd. Don't ask me to explain how that happened because I am not sure I can.by dag14 - Hockey

Re: Women 2013-14 - 10 years ago
Women up on Clarkson 4-2 after two periods. Highlights so far: Clarkson with an "own goal" to open the scoring. Jillian Saulnier has balanced her 2? goals with a 5 min major during which Clarkson scored one. Continuing a pattern that started against Northeastern, we dominated play in the first and got sloppy for a lot of the second, although the penalty kill during the major was outby dag14 - Hockey

Re: Article on Top 10 Lynah Faithful Traditions - 10 years ago
I came back to Ithaca after graduate school and stood in line for tickets as an "adult." Of course, as an adult, I got to keep those seats when the season ended. Still have them more than 35 years later.by dag14 - Hockey

Re: Ivy League Digital Network - 10 years ago
I talked with the BRSN guys at the Lafayette soccer game Tuesday night when I saw them broadcasting but remembered that the Athletics website showed only live stats as an option for the game. They are an incredibly dedicated group of students who cover men's and women's soccer as well as baseball, providing audio coverage on their own dime. They have solicited donations to get the technology thby dag14 - Hockey
Re: Ivy League Digital Network - 10 years ago
I don't understand why they list an away soccer game at a non-Ivy opponent as part of the IVY digital package when they don't offer any home Cornell soccer games . I am watching the game after purchasing from St Joe's all access .by dag14 - Hockey

Re: athletic department fundraising shortfall 73% of their goal - 10 years ago
Hockey alumni have not traditionally been big donors compared to alumni of other sports. I don't know why, just that this is a "fact." Additionally, most donations to athletics come from alumni who played the sport rather than friends of the sport.by dag14 - Other Sports

Re: Lax 2014 - who to add to fix SOS - 11 years ago
And don't forget, all these good teams we add to our schedule to replace non-top 10 NY teams have to come to Ithaca in March at least every other year to play lacrosse. I am sure they are all lining up to drop UNC and get on our schedule insteadby dag14 - Other Sports
Re: Ivy lax tournament 2013 - other tournaments 5/3 weekend - 11 years ago
This loss is not all on Fiore. The defense gave Princeton -- especially MacDonald -- looks they shouldn't have. I am not saying that AJ is blameless but defense is a team responsibility.by dag14 - Other Sports
Re: Falconry - 11 years ago
I like the way you titled the thread "Falconry" to justify inclusion in the "Other Sports" forum. BR, EZ and their family were immensely entertaining last year and they are off to a good start this year as well. I think it is wonderful that the first two eggs hatched on Earth Day.by dag14 - Other Sports
