LGR!

IVY league an impressive 13-5 out of conference this year with 6 wins against pre-season top 20 opponents (Cornell with wins against Denver, Albany; Harvard win v. Syracuse, Princeton win vs. Maryland, Yale vs BU and Penn vs. Albany). This week features more challenging out of conference play with Cornell v. Richmond, Yale v. Penn State (although Penn State has been struggling to find their mojo), Penn v. UNC and then Syracuse and Princeton v. Syracuse and then UNC. Let's hope the IVYs continue to roll.

U of Albany announcers have made the broadcast impossible to listen to. Right up there with the squad from Brown hockey.

Quote from: KenPOur offense seems to have a tougher time in sloppy weather... is anyone worried about the rain tomorrow? Similarly will it hinder Princeton's style of game as much?

20 goals performance in Ivy League Finals, not too shabby.
We also rocked Syracuse for 17 in what was wet weather and terrible field conditions.

Quote from: mike1960This is a very satisfying win, friends.

See you next week!

Edit: I wish ESPN would show the trophy presentation. It's been a long time coming.

Truly great win for Cornell. Took Princeton's best punch and answered with a 10 goal run!
Big Red in a great position for the NCAAs and (finger's crossed) a date for Memorial Day weekend in Boston.

21-14 Cornell. Final Score
Goldstein 5G, 3A; Long 4G, 4A; Kirst 3G, 6A. Big night for the attack trio.
Knust 15 saves. 52%
Cornell Faceoff crew wins 22 of 38. 11 of 15 in 2nd half
Cornell picks up 39 GBs and is +3 in turnover battle.

Once again, opponents get close to Cornell in 2nd half and Cornell goes on run to pull away. (Big Red score 8 of 9 goals from 11minute mark of the 3rd until 6:54 left in the 4th).

Princeton Harvard up next. Starting at 9p.

Syracuse beats ND 14-11 and with Army loss, probably lock up the last at-large bid.

Quote from: mike1960I'm surprised Yale is not posting a shooter in the center of the zone.

The best way to beat a zone is usually place 2 in the crease. Pulls in the far side defender. Attack Bow tie/pick  off each other.

We are back, 17-12 end of 3rd quarter.

Hat's off to whoever realized the host team should play in the first game, NOT the second. Would suck to be Princeton Harvard right now.

17-12 Big Red with 1 minute to play in the 3rd and we are in a second weather delay.
Yale with the first 2 goals of the 3rd followed by a 5 goal Cornell run.

Quote from: jjanow99Unnecessary roughness on Reeder just before the half. I don't recall if he's played at all this year.

If they don't possess the ball at the end of the half, there would have been a face-off to start the 3rd Q.
Holding the ball ensures possession.

12-9 Cornell end of 1st half.
Yale will start the 2nd half with 50 seconds on man-up.
Leading scorers for Big Red: Goldstein - 3G, Kirst - 2G, Firth - 2G
Knust with 11 save, .553 Save %
Yale with slight advantage on face-offs 12 of 23. GBs +1 Cornell, 20 of 39
Cornell +3 on turnovers (Yale 7, CU 4). Ride has been excellent!

Will need a stronger defense performance in 2nd half. Offense keep churning.

6-3 Cornell with 1:43 to play in 1st Q.
Now in weather delay due to Lightning in the area.
Cornell with 6 different goal scorers
Knust with 6 saves
Yale with 7/10 face off advantage
Cornell +3 in turnover battle

NCAA All Session passes are no longer available.
NCAA offering flash sale (25%). I purchased 4 Lower level seat mid-field for $70 each including fees for the Saturday games.
Sunday games are free entry (except club level).

There is no one-size-fits-all strategy.
Saturdays men's D1 semifinals are the most difficult tickets to get if you want a good seat and you can't purchase through one of the schools represented. Buy early and expect to pay face value. Club seating is limited.
Tickets for Sunday's games can be purchased for less than $10 a seat on any of the secondary markets.
Tickets for Monday's finals: great seats can be purchased late Sat or early Sun on the secondary market as fan bases thin out based on Saturday's outcomes. Usually at a discount from face value but numbers of tickets in great locations will be limited.
