Title: Cornell hosts polo championships
Post by: WillR on April 03, 2006, 04:47:00 PM
This is a bit different than the usual sports but worth getting out there.

Men's and Women's teams will be playing here at Cornell at the Oxley Equestrian Center.  The tournament begins today and continues until around the 7th (i think that is right).  At the end  hopefully both sides will be able to hoist another national championship banner.

Women kick it off at 5 against Yale.  The men play at 7 against California Davis.

LGR!!!

Since nobody updated this thread, I feared the worst.  Just for completeness...

Both the men and women lost in the national semifinals.  The men lost to top seed Texas A&M 19-16 and the women to Colorado State 12-9.

Texas Tech won the Men's Championship, and UConn won the Women's.

Would've been great to get a championship on home...mud(?), but that's pretty cool to play host.
