How about a new thread for this one.
Cascadden out today.
Princeton scores from the right wing. We need to get out on the shooters.
Fast break. Michael Marshall evens it up with a pole goal.
EMO Princeton goal. Too easy. Cutter to the goal, pass from X.
Nice pass to a cutting Waldman and score.
2-2
Nice pass to Perfetto in front of the goal.
3-2 Good Guys.
Another nice pass to Perfetto in the face of the goal. Catch, spin, goal.
We're doing a nice job moving into space off ball. If we keep making good passes, we'll score a lot.
4-2
Luke Gilmartin scores after the faceoff win.
5-2
Perfetto has missed a couple of passes. Needs to tighten that up.
Princeton takes on a short stick from the 2x2 and scores.
Too many turnovers
Princeton hits the cutter after another turnover.
5-4 Cornell.
Can't lose the cutters. Defense is hard.
Goldstein with an incredible diving shot coming from X.
6-4
The refs have decided not to call pushes in the back today.
Beautiful offensive lacrosse. Perfetto finds McGovern on the doorstep.
It's got to be the morning after.
Firth with a little French pastry! Behind the back goal.
8-4 Cornell.

Filthy
Princeton nice pass to the 5x5 and shot.
8-5 Cornell.
Princeton scorer Tucker Wade with a moving short from top right.
8-6
What a great goal. Another amazing outlet pass from Tully, then nice look to Goldstein to the right wing and score with .00001 seconds left in the half.
9-6 Good Guys at the half.
The defense has done a terrific job keeping the Princeton scorers at bay. Only a couple of hands free shots from 10-12 yards.
We're even on faceoffs. Even on ground balls. But not even on turnovers. 9-5. We move the ball around quickly and so we'll have more turnovers. But we've had too many.
We're doing a nice job on clears -- clean and fast.
Tully's been great in goal. 3 or 4 A+ saves. Terrific outlet passes.
Princeton dodge from the left wing. We didn't get over to help fast enough.
I'd like to see Goldstein to take Stahl from the pylon. Stahl is great in close quarters, but Goldstein is a lot quicker than he is.
9-7
Princeton is working that left 2x2. Princeton Polumbo dodges to the cage.
9-8
Brian Luzzi with a nicely placed lefty shot.
10-8
Tully with a Chuck Norris level ground ball and clear.
Goldstein finds a wide open Luke Robinson on the doorstep.
11-8 getting close to the end of the third quarter.

Too soon
Firth with a sprint and score from the top right.
12-8
Cornell is absolutely fighting for every ground ball.

Incredible hard-hat sequence. Every ground ball & turnover is immediately pounced on and retrieved.
Just did not get back defense. Easy goal from the front of the goal.
12-9
Princeton takes the short stick from the 5x5 and scores.
12-10
12-10 going into the 4th.
Pretty much dead even on every stat except the score.
Nice save at the buzzer to keep the two-goal advantage heading into the 4th.
Buczek working the refs pretty hard.
Ghost of Tierney haunting those side lines?
Unsettled situation. Goldstein wide open in front of the goal.
13-10, 4 minutes left.
Let's wins some faceoffs and take this one to the house.
Forgot the guy on the doorstep.
13-11 Cornell.
Timeout Princeton with 1:38 to set up scoring play.
We miss Jack Cascadden right now.
Impressive defensive performance in the 4th. 13-11 final.
Seven straight wins vs Princeton.
Huge away win. Great job all the way around by the Big Red.
MVP to Tully. He was absolutely terrific. But a close second is the defense. Fantastic teamwork against the Princeton scorers.
I think we were 100% on clears today. Practice makes perfect.
Thought Cornell clearly won the run out late.
Princeton slips and crease violation seals the result.
"Cornell owns a 3-0 record over the Tigers when Princeton is ranked inside the top five."
4-0
I liked the Princeton broadcasters. They reminded me of Leonard-LaFalce stylistically.
Fun game.
We played the #2 team in the country this year and there were 15 total goals scored in the game. We played the #3 team in the country, and there were 15 total goals--scored in the first half. As a Cornell hockey fan first, I can't get over how weird it is that for the best offense, you have to look at the...the Ivy League.
Good job today, Cornell. Don't sleep on Yale (I'm sure Cornell won't)--they lost to Princeton, but only by one goal.
Fantastic win! I was TBH not expecting it. The team played with high intensity from the start and never let up. Even taking that into account, it also seemed like an off day for the Tigers, perhaps because starting attackman Buonanno did not play. Goalie Croddick, usually excellent, ended at 41%.
But I don't want to take anything away from the Red! They went out and got themselves a statement win, all credit to them.
Also, kudos to the Princeton video production. Top notch in every aspect, from camera number and quality to camera operation to announcing. The announcing duo is knowledgeable and notably respectful of the opposing team.
Next up is Yale. Red should be tanned rested and ready, whether or not any of our injured players are back.

Also nice to watch a lacrosse game on s lacrosse field! Much better than a football field.
such a relief after this fuckin' weekend

And a nice bit of info from Inside Lacrosse:
"PRINCETON, N.J. — CJ Kirst was in the crowd of 2,188 Saturday, in the center of a large contingent of Big Red faithful inside Princeton's Class of 1952 Stadium."

NFW. Bill Tierney was at a different level of intensity combined with a certain irascibility on the field. Not sure how many converts he won. What he did win was six national championships at Princeton in nine years, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2001. Why didn't Cornell hire this Cortland State grad who knew upstate NY? Cornell's lacrosse cred didn't start to slip until the early '90s; Princeton hired Tierney in 1988 when Cornell finished back to championship runner-up seasons. Wrong timing.

Because no one was going to fire Richie Moran to hire a guy who'd never been a D1 head coach?

Some discussion of the game by the guys at Inside Lacrosse starting at -19:10.
Fun comment that the guy (coach) at the front of the Cornell bus "is a young guy who can still run by a pole."
Positive notes: Firth and Goldstein elevated their play; the good play of the short stick middies; team effort on offense; D work on ground balls.
League comment: Unexpected wins in the Ivies because the teams know each other so well and make plans.
