Quote from: mike1960So, so close . . .
I noticed at the end of a close game this year, as time ran out, our middie at midfield threw the ball up-up-up with :03 left and the ball had a hangtime of :05. So, close 2009 was.

That and not closing out Wisconsin (hockey), 5-2 lead start of the third, got tied, lost OT. I'm sure older alums recall 1969 title game and just coming up short to Denver. Most schools, somebody creates an alumni magazine story every decade on Gettysburg's Greatest Victories Ever. Ours might be the 10 Most Crushing Losses.

We can do wins, too.

Cornell 6 - Providence 5, OT.  aka  Randy Wilson Day.

2003 ECAC Final
2007 Lax NCAA QF aka the Seibald trail check game vs Albany

2010 NCAA basketball tournament victories over Temple and Wisconsin

Game one of the 90-91 ncaa hockey tournament at Michigan. We basically trained their fan base to what it has become.

Cornell 8, BU 7 (3OT), 2012 NCAA tournament quarterfinal at Lynah.

Cornell 4, Princeton 3, 2009 ECAC semifinal. Cornell trailed 3-1 with about 3 minutes left when Evan Barlow scored on a spectacular end-to-end rush. Then Riley Nash scored an EAG to send it to OT. Colin Greening then won it in the 2nd OT.

I can't believe the nobody mentioned the 1983 Hahvahd game, Schafer stick crack over head, victory after quick early 0-4 deficit.  Loudest I ever heard Lynah when Cornell tied it up in the third.

Mentioning this '83 game melted a glacier somewhere. Best player introduction moment in Cornell Athletics history (rumor was Schafer pre-sawed the stick so it would break easily over his helmet). Nothing tops Randy Wilson Day, but this was glorious. Thank you for bringing it up.
