Re: Cornell lacrosse in 2011 - 13 years ago
Bremner is certainly an intriguing guy. Would be great if he could follow in the tradition of great Canadian attackmen. 2011 should be an exciting season; I just hope the team doesn't listen to the hype. We seem to do best when not much is expected.by scoop85 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell vs. Notre Dame - 13 years ago
ben03 Good to get back to the FF, we've got a lot to look forward to next year. here's to hoping we find a lefty finisher. I'm hoping Lang (who's a lefty) can step up his game. He got the first goal today, but had little impact thereafter.by scoop85 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell vs. Notre Dame - 13 years ago
My take from the upper deck: we simply could not beat their D-men on the dodge, and ND was able to pack it in, knowing that Rodgers would eat up our outside shots. On the other end, ND didn't do anything too imaginative -- many of their goals came on power moves where they were able to muscle through our D. Eventually, all the little things began to go against us, and we started pressing andby scoop85 - Other Sports

Cornell vs. Notre Dame - 13 years ago
Deserves its own thread. IL scouting report is very positive about our Big Red. The scout (I assume a coach of another team) says Pannell is the best player in the country. Who am I to argue?by scoop85 - Other Sports
Re: Lax: NCAA Quarterfinals - 13 years ago
I was at LaValle today (nice facility, but not enough concession stands). Just a tremendous performance in all phases, except perhaps with FO's early on. Our young guys really came to play, and Hurley was tremendous. Other than taking a couple of bad penalties, Mike Bronzino really stood out to me. Just a ground ball machine, and great on the clear. To think he, Noble, and Fiore are Freshmanby scoop85 - Other Sports

Re: Lax Cornell 11 Loyola 10 (3 OT) & other NCAA 1st round - 13 years ago
Boy, who woulda thunk we'd be wearing our home whites next Sunday While I certainly like our chances much better than if we had to play Cuse again, make no mistake that Army will be a huge challenge. Given both teams' penchant for one-goal games this year, hard to picture anything other than more of the same.by scoop85 - Other Sports

Re: Seeded 7th -- Facing Loyola - 13 years ago
Al DeFlorio ben03 at least we know we can get to 59:59. Right. Plus, I'm encouraged by the domination of Brown for three quarters and Princeton for a half. This team is now showing that when the middies and attack play together, they really can do some stuff. The problem seems to be that, with a lead, the middies sit back and let the attack--meaning, to a large degree, Rob Pannell--do all theby scoop85 - Other Sports
Re: Seeded 7th -- Facing Loyola - 13 years ago
Al DeFlorio scoop85 The biggest result of today's loss is that, had we won, we'd be a 6th seed and projected to face MD in a second round game.I think we'd still have drawn Syracuse as a potential quarterfinal opponent. Princeton's win yesterday moved the Tigers ahead of Duke to #5 in RPI. That boosted Syracuse's quality win score (Princeton was now in the 1-5 band, not 6-10) and lowered Marylaby scoop85 - Other Sports
Seeded 7th -- Facing Loyola - 13 years ago
So, we get a 7th seed and a home game against Loyola. Tough test, but certainly a winnable game. The biggest result of today's loss is that, had we won, we'd be a 6th seed and projected to face MD in a second round game. The Terps are darned good, don't get me wrong; but now, if we're fortunate enough to beat Loyola, we'll almost certainly get SU in the quarters.by scoop85 - Other Sports

14-8 final. Strong game in most facets (except man-down). Boykin was phenomenal at on faceoffs and groundballs in general. But for the Brown goalie and some off-target shooting, we'd have 20.by scoop85 - Other Sports

Re: Men's Ivy League Lacrosse Tournament - 13 years ago
6-4 CU at the half. But it's the most uncomfortable 2-goal halftime lead that I can recall in a long time, considering how we've dominated the faceoffs and ground balls. The trend all year has been that our faceoff effectiveness disapates in the 2nd half. Brown's goalie was tremendous -- it easily would be 10 or 11-4 if he was even just average.by scoop85 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell Lacrosse Saturday May 1: We're IN - 14 years ago
Interesting factoid (to me, anyway): but for the Dartmouth blip, our regular season losses this season were to the same teams as in last year's run to Memorial Day. That being said, this season has had a far different feel. This may have been Tambroni's best coaching job overall (which is saying a lot). Given the way the Ivy League season has played out, next weekend's winner is anybody'sby scoop85 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell Lacrosse Saturday May 1: We're IN - 14 years ago
5-3 Cornell at the half. BUT, we had a great shot to go up 6-2, but Hurley put on off the crossbar. Princeton then came down and on an unsettled situation a longstick beat Fiore. In the last few seconds, Ritchie was stopped after a good opportunity, and then Cornell committed a penalty. Princeton will have a short man-up to start the 3rd. We dominated the first number of faceoffs, but Princby scoop85 - Other Sports
