rss77 Yes Princeton is getting top 100 players. Thinking Ivy WBB is going to be a three team race between Columbia, Harvard, and Princeton. Smith has not been able too attract top shelf talent to East Hill. Princeton’s always been strong, but Columbia and others have left us stuck in our tracks. Time for a change at the top.by scoop85 - Other Sports

ugarte upprdeck i didnt check to see if it was streaming but cornell-osu is on the b10 channel tonightClose dual. Lost 21-20, but was up 20-18 and leading the last match until a takedown with 25 seconds left. And defending champ Vito Arujau is still sitting with an injury. tbh I think he's being extra cautious because as soon as the NCAA season ends he has to drop 8 pounds for the Olympic trialsby scoop85 - Other Sports
Re: Women 2023-24 - 3 months ago
Cornell women with the 3-2 OT win over previously undefeated Clarkson at Lynah tonight. Clarkson led 1-0 and then 2-1 before Izzy Daniel tied it with about 10 minutes left in the 3rd. Delianedis scored the game winner. Both goaltenders were superb. Cornell got all four power plays, and the Clarkson coach was staring down the referees after the game.by scoop85 - Hockey

Al DeFlorio Cornell opens with a 19-0 run. Colgate cuts lead to 40-33 at the half. I'm at the game, and a decent crowd here. No concession stands are open; they have 2 vending machines. Cornell should be embarrassed.by scoop85 - Other Sports

Good to see Nazir get back in the flow of today’s game. I continue to be impressed with Okereke—how was this guy a walk on? And Beccles continues to improve and get more quality PT. The team has hardly played at home, and finally gets back to Newman next week in what shapes up to be an interesting game against Colgate. The Raiders have been up-and-down, and come off a bad loss yesterday at Ioby scoop85 - Other Sports
Re: Womens Basketball - 4 months ago
dbilmes ugarte Afternoon game against Marist. 15-0 lead, Marist came back to tie at 48 in the third, Cornell pulls away with a 26-13 4th Quarter. 6-5 record so far. It would have been nice if we had been able to defeat Syracuse after building up a 14-point lead. The women's team has been beating a lot of weak teams, so their record will be misleading heading into Ivy play. Yale, on the other handby scoop85 - Other Sports

Re: Recruits 2024 and Beyond - 4 months ago
Trotsky Both wins were upsets. Canada West was 4 of 5 in the group round. If I'm reading this right, neither Long nor Wolfenberg were on the final roster. They and Roest all made the 2022 Canada West roster and played. Ok, that makes sense. I misread the 2023 roster.by scoop85 - Hockey

Time for a new recruiting thread. Goalie Erick Roest, who’s a 2024 recruit, was the starting goalie for Canada West who won gold at the World Junior A Challenge in Nova Scotia. Roest stopped 30 of 32 shots in the championship game as Canada West beat Canada East 7-2. Roest stopped 37 shots in Canada West’s 4-3 OT upset over the U.S. in the semifinal.

Re: Womens Basketball - 4 months ago
rss77 Red women pulled out a gutsy win over the Bonnies last night. They have some good 1st years like Kust and Clarke. Unfortunately like the last 2 seasons they have no reliable outside shooters. Like in football maybe it's time to move on from Smith as Head Coach. Yep, the other Ivies (especially Princeton and Columbia!) have developed far stronger programs than Cornell.

scoop85 Charlie Major, a 17-year-old forward from up the road in Skaneateles, committed to the Big Red today. He’s currently playing in the U-18 circuit, and has been drafted by the Chicago Steel of the USHL. Katz still listed as a Cornell commit, so perhaps we're bringing in 2 goalies next year.by scoop85 - Hockey

ugarte Insane subscription fees for what does not look like an interesting set of offerings behind the paywall and no single-event option. And it's not like the event was making money from ticket sales. The photo attached to the game recap may be the most swagless event photo I've ever seen. The action shot is a free throw.

Psenicka is having a junior slump, which is even more perplexing. For the record, I considered Psenicka's sophomore year as a slump and this year so far as a continuation thereof.
