Quote from: scoop85Right after we beat Maryland someone posted here that they were happy to trade the success of their professional teams for a Cornell championship, and I wholeheartedly agreed with them. Well, with the Mets in freefall and the Giants looking miserable after one game, God is putting me to the test (but I still stand by my prior assertion).

That was me, and I still feel that way well after the immediate post-game euphoria has mellowed.

There's a YouTube Channel called Cuse Crease Highlights (I've mentioned it here before) that I think does the best game highlight packages that I've found on YouTube (high res, no watermark, solid editing choices). The channel over the last few days has put up videos for the NCAA tournament, so now highlights of all four games of Cornell's NCAA championship run are available for your enjoyment.

"...and led to his eventual commitment to Cornell, the defending national champions."

That's just a delight to read. Going to squeeze as much enjoyment out of that as I can until next Memorial Day.

Quote from: LGR14The College Lacrosse Show (Jonathan Danville is a co-host) - posted yesterday.

I second this one. I have been listening to this show all season and very much enjoyed the banter. Donville is a bit unpolished, but infectious and funny and, of course, loves Cornell so how could you not like him? :-)

Quote from: CU77Complete video of the final from NCAA championships, free of ESPN chyrons:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HtuaXmovLE

And in full 1080 HD, nice. I think ESPN+ only keeps videos available on demand for a relatively short amount of time, hopefully this YouTube video stays up indefinitely.

I mentioned in one of the recent lacrosse threads that the most memorable CU lacrosse play for me was Max Seibald's trail check in OT vs Albany in the 2007 NCAA quarterfinal that lead to CU's winning goal, and that I had video of it from the broadcast. I finally uploaded that video plus another 2007 Seibald highlight I had. Sorry for the low resolution; the videos were captured using some basic-even-for-the-time video capture hardware from a standard definition source.

Quote from: mike1960I wonder when I'll take off my lucky Cornell hoodie. I'm still flying about the fact that we're the National Champions in lacrosse.

I'm still flying high as well. I've rewatched the full game twice and have watched no fewer than five different condensed versions of the game on YouTube.

Link to an excellent (in my opinion) condensed version of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39dWUW_r6tA&ab_channel=CuseCreaseHighlights

If you want to watch such for other Cornell games from this season, I recommend checking that channel, Cuse Crease Highlights, first to see if they did a version. There's another YouTube channel, College Lacrosse, that does them and gets a lot more views, but their versions have inferior video quality, an annoying watermark, and I don't think their editing choices are as good (way too many replays of a goal using slo mo, at least in their later efforts). One reason that they probably get more views is that they were exceptionally quick in posting after a game completed where as the Cuse Crease channel could take a day or two.

Quote from: semsoxI saw in the athletics notes before the game that this would not only be the first Lacrosse title since 77, but the first team championship in any sport for Cornell since then. Bask in it, because it doesn't come around often

That's insane. But hasn't polo won several times? They may be club team tho. Too lazy to check

Last for women was 2016 as of this article. Remember reading this a while back.

Pretty sure the distinction is championships overseen by the NCAA.

Quote from: billhowardIIRC, Albany circa 2100 (if not, then Stony Brook?) had a goalie so talented with stick-handling that on Albany man-ups, he played behind the opponent net as a feeder.

I think that was Brett Queener, who was Albany's goalie in the Cornell-Albany 2007 NCAA game. He joined the man-up unit in that game as I recall, with the backup goalie coming to the game for those stretches. That game has my favorite Cornell lax moment that I saw in real time (not live, but was watching on tv): in the waning moments of the OT, Max Seibold, on a bad leg, chasing down a UAlbany player and making a leaping trail check, getting the ball, and starting the fast break that led to the winning goal n Glynn with just a few seconds left. Queener broke his goal stick over his leg in frustration.

I actually was at that game, and it's really hard to overstate how insane that play was. No video could do justice to how big of a gap Seibald closed in how short of a time, followed by the mad scramble to hit Glynn on the crease.

I looked on YouTube for the game/highlights and couldn't find it, but I actually have a video of the play and winning goal from the broadcast that I captured shortly after from the recording on my TiVo (the young ones are asking, "TiVo what?"). It was using budget equipment for the day and the broadcast wasn't HD, so it's so-so quality. I've never uploaded anything to YouTube but will see if I can figure it out.

Quote from: upprdeckwe have a team in the final 8 and hockey gets tons of discussion while Lax gets none.

I love the lacrosse team -I'd trade every future championship of any pro team I care about for one national title for either the CU hockey or CU lax teams- but to be fair this is the ELynah forum with a lot of posters that may only care about/understand hockey.

Quote from: ugarteshould i be less surprised that knust wasn't even second-team?

You shouldn't be surprised at all.

NCAA saves percentage statistics:

3. Ryan Croddick, Princeton, 60.4%
7. Mason Morel, Dartmouth, 58.3%
19. Connor Foley, Brown, 55.4%
22. Wyatt Knust, Cornell, 54.6%
33. Emmet Carroll, Penn, 52.8%

https://www.ncaa.com/stats/lacrosse-men/d1/current/individual/224

Foley is the player with a legit complaint ... ::flipa::

I assume that lacrosse All Ivy is based on performance in Ivy games (how it's done for hockey), so maybe Carroll's sv% in Ivy games was higher than Foley's.

Quote from: mike1960Did anyone at the game get a picture of people sitting in the bleachers on the west side of the field?

I took a couple short videos from those bleachers. Watched the game with one of my kids (freshman at Cornell) from there. A smidge low for my taste even near the top since the bleachers don't have that many rows, but close to the field so you could hear the on-field player chatter and hits well, so fun place to watch from.

I am guessing the quality camera work and drones for the Harvard game was due to it being carried on NESN (New England Sports Network).
