Any one have a report on the Spring game played this past Friday?

One item not noted in the Sun article that Baldwin is going to be playing for Brian Earle, former Cornell coach. 

I see that athletics has established an Advisory Group.  Perhaps to help Athletics in this Wild West era of sports-eh?  Also Cornell football is raising money for summer stipends (To be used to support football student-athletes while doing internships) to keep 40 players in the general Ithaca area for the summer.

Start the thread. Looks like Dartmouth has some potent offense but have collapsed in 2nd half last 2 games.

The NCAA covers travel costs for tournament games. Willing to bet that they traveled by bus for lacrosse.

Don't usually post here-but check out the link:

One edit to my comments-did not realize Goldstein was playing hurt.  Hoping to some of the guys in street clothes back for next weekend.  Am afraid Nurry is out long term being on the leg scooter.

Was at the game in person and boy was it cold!  I thought Cornell's defense starting out flat and especially in the first quarter hung Tully out to dry on a couple of those first 4 goals for Yale.  It was good to see Cascadden out there taking a few faceoffs and hoping starting down the stretch run he will back up to snuff.  Take nothing a way from the Yale Goalie as he was excellent in the cage but also credit Yale's defense in the second which limited the quality of shots available.  Also Goldstein's defender did a number on him.  And like any game-a game of inches-Firth got a great shot off in the middle of the 2nd half but it bounced off the crossbar-like hockey did not get any puck luck on that one.  I thought after Princeton the Red were in good shape but the Ivy League looking like a true gauntlet.

Yes he will be getting good offers from Power 4. He is graduating early like Okereke did last year.  Can't blame him because Okereke is getting good money at Vandy.  Don't like this new era and how it is hurting the Ivies.

I see Noard had a subpar game. With the height deficit-if he is not hitting-Cornell's hurtin'.  Defi itely agree with prior poster next year will be a challenge.  Jaques definitely needs to the portal or bring in a JUCO transfer or 2. Also in reference to BearLover-the reason that Cornell went to the current offensive philosophy which started under Earl-he knew he could not outrecruit HYP and the offense was a way to counter the talent advantage.

Good bounceback win.  It looked 6 or 7 guys in streetclothes by the bench and Nurry is in the boot on the leg scooter.  I too would like to see Nurry and Nikolic but there is a reason one carries a 50 man roster-Next man Up! and lets hope we develop more strength in our o-middies this season.

Yes-This year is more of struggle than I originally thought. Am hopeful the team can make Ivy playoffs.  Princeton and Harvard look like the class of the league-am impressed with Princeton's depth.

Did not realize that offensive midfields were so unproductive against Richmond I saw Quint Kessinich's Top Twenty post on the Inside Lacrosse website. Maybe Coach Buszek and staff will shake up the personnel to get better production?  Was extremely impressed with the short stick dmiddies: Box, Gilmartin, and Lamb.

Live by the 3 die by the 3. Harvard seemed to be getting to loose balls also.

We don't match up too well against Penn especially against their bigs.  They also did a great job defending Cooper Noard on the outside.  Poor free throw shooting (10-21!) was no help either.
