We're a lot worse than last year's team. But last year's team was one of the best in the history of college lacrosse
The O is worse.  The D might be better.
That's like saying the Chicago Bulls' O got worse in 1999 even if their D might have gotten slightly better
Woe is me, woe is me!  The needle is stuck again.

From the IL article:  "Cornell middie AJ Nikolic, who missed last season due to injury and did not play in the season-opener vs. UAlbany, scored the opening goal for the Big Red but left the game mid-way through the third quarter with an apparent leg injury."

Need a stronger third attack.  Need an alley dodger on first midfield.  Take better care of the ball.

Princeton down 7-1 to PSU after one.

Yale 4-1 over Army early 2nd, and Army has a 2 minute non-releaseable to kill.

Quote from: marty on February 07, 2026, 06:05:14 PMBattle of the sieves at Cheel. 6-5 in the third.  Makes no difference whose ahead because there will be at least 3 more scored.  14:30 left.

Now tied at 7!!

Welcome back to 1978 ECAC hockey!
Back then you never heard the announcer say:  "When Pottstown scores first they win 87% of the time.". First goal was just the opening bid.

Quote from: Trotsky on February 03, 2026, 05:18:39 PMEthan Wyttenbach of Q is 15-26-41. He leads the conference among all skaters in Pts/GP.  He's going to be the FOTY and will make the All Conference team outright.  Freshmen Antonin Verreault and Markus Vidicek of Q also have eye-popping numbers.

After that come Ryan and XV.  Owen Van Steensel of Clarkson, who sounds like a Venture Brothers henchman, is not far behind.

We could get 3 freshmen: Ryan, XV, Alexi.  That would be terrific.

I think we have a run at 3 for all-ECAC: Walshy, Casty, and Alexi.

We should dominate the Ivy All Freshman team.  That's where we could see 4 or more.  And I think we get at least 3 on the All Ivy team outright, though sometimes things are weird because they only count the play within conference and guys have explosive games.

Fun fact: in 1968 we had 4 of the 6 members of the All-American team!  http://www.tbrw.info/?/ncaa_History/all_Americans_Teams.htm
Four also in 1969.  Interestingly, only one from the 29-0-0 1970 team.

Quote from: stereax on February 01, 2026, 12:00:03 PMAccording to my and Trots's perusal:

Cornell is in the driver's seat to win the Ivy title. Three points against Princeton gets the job done.

If less than 3 points, Dartmouth has the chance to sweep the rest of their slate (@HVD, @YAL, @BRN, PRN) and beat us on tiebreak.

As far as I remember, the Ivy League does not apply tiebreakers to league titles. If two teams have the same record, they share the title regardless of head to head results. I assume this applies to hockey, even in the "derp points" era. Tiebreakers do apply for seeding in the case of a postseason tournament.
Yeah, I think we shared a title a few years back, no?

I remember that in 2023 we won the Ivy League on points (25-24) with fewer "wins" than Harvard. We were 8-2 while they were 9-1 with three OT wins. Their fan on USCHO was a bit salty.
They have fans?
