It's 1-1 early in the first quarter from West Point. Greenhalgh scored on first CU possession, USMA then reciprocates. Cornell already 0 for 3 on FOs.
McMonagle makes save on Army's big gun, Walker, and Cornell clears ... then soph Clayton scores from Boulukos. Joe's second assist?! CU loses ANOTHER faceoff.
Walker scores on the extra-man opportunity. It's 2-2. Cornell finally gets FO thanks to an illegal procedure call.
Boulukos scores on a bounce shot that "overpowers" (as per Borkan) the USMA goalie. 3-2 Cornell. Cornell wins possession off FO.
And boom, Nee scores on a crank for a two-goal lead. Army calls timout.
FOs looking mighty ugly. Army wins possession after CU wing man forced OB.
Army second-line midfielder scores when matched up with short stick, 4-3 CU.
Thanks for the updates, Hillel. Can you tell who's marking Walker?
Faceoffs killed us against Navy last year.
Possessions exchanged.
Matt Robbins, CU SSM from Illinois I think, is playing on clears.
And Wagner, Army's OTHER big gun, scores from Walker, and it's all even at 4.
A fast first quarter.
Wagner scores immediately off the FO as Cornell scrambles to settle.
Nee scores on EMO after Army flagged for 30-sec technical.
And yet another illegal procedure call on Army -- it's the only way we're winning draws.
Gotta take family lunch break.
Army up 9-5, 2 min left in the half
Army on a 7-1 run, up 9-5 with 4:00 left in first half. :-(
9-6 early in the 3rd, but a 1 minute slashing penalty on Cornell
Yo! Whattup with this?
EMO goal for Army. Now 10-6.
Is this WHCU's backup announcing team? Other than being homers, they're not too bad.
10-7 Army after three periods. Er, quarters.
End of 3rd, we trail 10-7. Dominated shots 13-4 in the 3rd.
10-8 clayton
Jason Weinstein did the game last week, I'm not sure if he'll be a regular once the hockey conflicts are over.
10-9 nee
According to Gametracker, shots are 23-4 Cornell in the second half :-O

Where are you finding Gametracker?
I got it from a link on the Army Lacrosse website -- sorry I didn't bring this to everyone's attention earlier!

Got the link at CSTV. Cornell didn't bother to put it on their web site. :-(
Go to Army site.
Time out under a minute left cornell with posession still down 1
:13 left, army up 2
Sounds like we needed a wake-up call sometime in the second period. This will put a lot of pressure on the UNC, Syracuse, and Princeton games.
11-9 final. Disappointing for sure.

Well, this is lacrosse, so as long as Army doesn't end up being a "quality" program the loss won't hurt us. ::rolleyes::

No, Barry Leonard (play by play) and Howie Borkan (color) are the top lax team -- Weinstein's gig last week was the anomaly. Leonard is great. He has been the voice of Cornell lax since the 1990s ... and a voice of Cornell hoops and other sports for more than a decade.

I didn't listen long enough to figure out who had John Walker (the son of former NY Jet wideout Wesley Walker). With Walker and Jim Wagner (four goals against CU), that's a tough group to handle. Cornell's going to have a rough time with any team that brings two good, versatile attackmen.
Cornell hasn't had a reliable FO guy since Addison Sollog graduated. Groan.
