Re: Cornell lacrosse 2017 - Ivy tournament location - 7 years ago
Al DeFlorio Brown nipped Providence 13-12 in double OT tonight at Providence. Some strange stats: Brown wins the faceoff battle, 21-8; Providence outshoots Brown 57-37 Those are pretty strange. Beating Brown in Providence on Saturday is a tall order, but Cornell is very likely out of the ILT without that win ...by CU77 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2017 - CU 16 Lehigh 11 (F) - 7 years ago
Yes, that's correct, but the random-draw for #3 is the most likely outcome if Cornell does not also beat Princeton. Other outcomes require a Dartmouth win over either Brown or Penn (or both), which is not going to happen. In the random-draw scenario, Cornell has a 1/3 chance for seed #3, a 1/3 chance for seed #4, and a 1/3 chance to be left out entirely.by CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2017 - Lehigh-Princeton - 7 years ago
Wins over both Brown and Princeton guarantee Cornell the #2 seed in the ILT. Lose either game, and Cornell needs help. In particular, a lost to Brown on Saturday, coupled with wins by Penn over Dartmouth and Princeton over Harvard (both likely), would leave Cornell out of the ILT, which would be Yale, Princeton, Brown, Penn. I've posted a complete list of all 64 possible outcomes for the remaiby CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2017 - Lehigh-Princeton - 7 years ago
Of course, beating Princeton is much more important. Princeton has been very streaky, but I would put them as favorites over Cornell, especially if the game has ILT implications for them. In between is Brown on the road, also a streaky team, lost to Princeton by a bunch. If Cornell can beat both Brown and Princeton, they still have an outside shot at the #1 seed in the ILT. We need Brown to bby CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2017 @ Harvard - 7 years ago
If we can beat Brown, and Harvard beats Penn, we will most likely make the ILT.by CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2017 - 7 years ago
They will need to beat Harvard and Brown on the road to have a shot at the ILT (or lose one of those and beat Princeton at home). So far, they have not shown the resillience under pressure needed to win close games, but hope springs eternal.by CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2017 - Penn 10-9 - 7 years ago
RichHTierney was at Princeton for 22 seasons and was already a Hall of Famer when he left. Hardly a "stepping stone" stay. True enough. But Princeton just got incredibly lucky with Tierney. No one had any idea that he was going to be the greatest lax coach of all time when PU hired him. Whatever magic/luck Princeton had back then is gone. The guy they picked to replace Tierney is noby CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2017 - Penn 10-9 - 7 years ago
Johnny 5And, what team is now ranked #1 in D-1 at 9-0?? Wow, where can we find a coach like that!!?? There was never any chance Tambroni would stay at Cornell. Great coaches leave the Ivys for better recruiting elsewhere. The list includes Starsia, Tierney, Tillman, and Tiffany in addition to Tambroni. On this basis, I suggest looking for a new coach whose name begins with S or (preferably)by CU77 - Other Sports

Dartmouth next for lax. If Cornell loses, Schoellkopf will collapse into a black hole of Red angst that swallows the earth.by CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2017 - Penn 10-9 - 7 years ago
billhowardA 4-2 team always goes, a 3-3 team did last year; in 2015, 3-3 Yale went, 3-3 Penn (which lost RS to Yale) did not. 3-3 usually gets in; that Penn team is the only exception in the history of the ILT. Basically you need to beat the 3 teams that don't get in. But we really needed the win over Penn today to have a decent shot at 3-3.by CU77 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2017 - 7 years ago
I was there! A fantastic game, even if the Red could not hold on at the end. Much better performance that could be expected from the first 3 games. There is now some hope for this team to win a few games.by CU77 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2016 - 7 years ago
Molloy gets another year but his supporting cast will be mostly gone, so it's unlikely Brown will be a top-4 team next year. Lots of excellent play in the tournament, including by last-team-in Navy and 3rd-to-last in UNC. Cornell will have a tough task to stay at a nationally competitive level.by CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Women's Lax wins Ivy Tournament - 8 years ago
UMass wins it, 7-6. Cornell fell behind 4-0 and could not come all the way back. Congrats to the Red women's lax team on a great season!by CU77 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2016 - 8 years ago
I'm rooting for Brown. They're fun to watch. Yale is dull, I'm hoping they lose to Navy. I really don't want to see Brown lose to Yale in the quarters; Navy would be an easier opponent for Brown. I also wish Cornell had a dedicated lax/soccer field with 3K or so seating. But an indoor facility is a bigger need for a successful lax program. Quarterfinals at Brown will be in the football stadby CU77 - Other Sports
