Al DeFlorio Giving shooters too much space. I would consider putting the freshman in the net the second half.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
Albany loves to swing the ball around the top to get the open outside shot. Cornell is going to have to hustle to on every pass to pressure the shooters. It's easy to get worn down after a while playing that kind of defense. I like Teat playing crease attack. The crease attack is always "locked off" a little bit anyway. He freed himself running behind the goal and getting an off-balby mike1960 - Other Sports

Al DeFlorio mike1960 Al DeFlorio Beeeej Anybody able to get the 3pm Albany @ Cornell game on ESPN+? It's still saying "has not yet started" for me. Same here. Finally. Looks like late start. Women's game late? Don't know. I really like it that ESPN+ uses Barry Leonard for the call.by mike1960 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
scoop85 16-12 Red after 3. Offense has been good, defense has not. Ierlan came in near the end of the 3rd and made a nice save. I don’t know about anyone else watching the game, but the frenetic pace is entertaining and exhausting to watch. It's a lot more exciting, for sure. It will be much more enjoyable without so many turnovers. 20 for Hobart and 16 for Cornell with 6 minutes left. Incby mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
Really looks like a first game -- occasional terrific plays, unsettled goals, and a couple of spectacular passes by Teat. It's hard to complain when the offense has scored 11 goals in the first half. The defense is a little bit of a disappointment. The help needs to come -- like Thor's hammer -- on those lefty shots around and in front of the goal. It's too easy sometimes. Love seeing lacby mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
Someone has probably already mentioned this, but every game except the two for the Crown Lacrosse Classic will be televised this year one one of the various ESPN channels. ESPN+ has most of them, but it's only about 5 dollars a month. It's going to be a very fun year for those of us living far from Ithaca.by mike1960 - Other Sports

CU77 I agree with Swampy that this is bad for the game and bad for Cornell. On the plus side, here's a nice article on the team & PM from US Lacrosse: I don't think this will be bad for Cornell. They can attack and get off several passes in 60 seconds, esp. with their box skills. A shot clock is a draw for the general fan, and that's good for the growth of the sport.

Al DeFlorio billhoward BearLover Congrats to everyone on this forum who was happy for Yale's success, especially their national championship. As opposed to the joy of Duke winning. The guy's just a whiner, Bill. Always has been. And, yes, I'm delighted that an Ivy won the lacrosse championship. I am delighted as well.

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2019 - 5 years ago
Al DeFlorio While watching last night's high school "championship" game I looked for a Hill Academy roster and came across this SI article on Hill from May 2016. Two items struck me from the article: 1. A quote from Casey Vock: "Everyone believes he can elevate Cornell to where they would be a championship contender today if they had him." Prescient. 2.

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 5 years ago
djk26 BearLover Like in hockey, very depressing to see one of our rivals, with many fewer years of success than us, win a national championship that we haven't won in 40 years. I couldn't agree more. I can't help but watch the highlights and think, "That won't be us anytime soon." I have a lot of hopes for next year. We have a fairly young team, and a first-year coach.

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 5 years ago
Swampy If you watched the post-game show on TV, I think it was QK, who said something even more to point. It was something like, "When Ben Reeves is on the field he's the best athlete on the field, but if you look at today's game, Jeff Teat is nowhere near the best athlete on the field." This implies that solving the SOT strategy has to start with Jeff himself. There are 8 months befby mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 5 years ago
End of the game. 13-8 Maryland. Cornell found some offense with the alley dodge for one goal and throw backs off the alley dodge for step downs and two goals. The Maryland goalie had some problems handling those shots. Overall, Maryland looked like an extremely well coached team on offense, finding the weakness in the Cornell D on the 5X5 and exploiting it all game. The Cornell D sometimes lookedby mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 5 years ago
End of the third quarter. 11-4 Maryland. Maryland pulled away this quarter. They continue to put pressure on the Cornell defense from behind the net to the 5X5. They ran a few wrinkles off of it, including a wide open midfield cutter. Cornell is having problems finding a way to put pressure on the Maryland defense. The alley dodges and throw backs are not working any of the usual magic. Worse, Coby mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 5 years ago
Halftime: 6-4 Maryland. Cornell is hanging in there with a couple of great step downs. The Maryland offense is working from the back to the 5X5 and causing serious problems. They scored two unassisted. And when Cornell doubles, they've been excellent at finding the open man in front of the crease. Cornell will have to play their best lacrosse all year the second to win this. They can do it. I havby mike1960 - Other Sports

1st quarter. 1-0 Maryland. Great defense, great goalie play on both sides. Teat is working to get open and make a difference. It's going to be a hard, hard game all day, as it should be.by mike1960 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 6 years ago
Swampy djk26 CU77 Did you actually watch the Syracuse game? Is that what you saw happening? I'm jumping in here because I want to understand this better. What I saw was Teat unable to participate (except for restarts) because Mellen followed him with every step. What can Teat do to escape this?

Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - C14 Y8 Ivy lax title - 6 years ago
scoop85 Swampy I agree with everything y'all have said. But this may actually work in our favor. For Cornell playing in Syracuse is a lot better than playing in, say, South Bend or Denver. We should be able to travel to the dome, especially if the administration arranges buses, incentives, etc. So this could match any fan advantage the 'Cuse might have. Cornell travels very well.
