MLax: Hobart 7 @ Cornell 8 (final)

[Al DeFlorio]

Hurley again blows one from the doorstep.  He's too casual with those shots.

[Al DeFlorio]

Hurley again is stopped alone on the doorstep.

[Al DeFlorio]

Lead down to one.  Two games in a row with a desultory second half.

[Al DeFlorio]

Another poor shot selection by Glynn.  16 saves for Silberlicht.

[Al DeFlorio]

Hobart has six goals on nine shots this half.  Cornell has none on seven.

[Al DeFlorio]

One more terrible shot.

[Al DeFlorio]

Christ, that was ugly.

[Tom Pasniewski 98]

Definition of escaping by the skin of your teeth.  Such a poorly played half with no goals.  I'm not sure they deserved to hang on.

So is seven-goal lead the most dangerous lead in lacrosse the way two goals is in hockey? Sheesh, that was a nail-biter. But it was exciting.

Ridiculous

Did not in the slightest.

Ain't RPI great?  Cornell's win moves Princeton up to #3 and Syracuse down to #5 with Duke holding at #4.  Stay tuned.  Two more games to be played.

Hopkins, Virginia, Princeton, Duke and Syracuse look reasonably secure in the top five.  Two through five is a crapshoot, however (.652, .651, .650, .650).  Still have UMBC-Stony Brook and Towson-Villanova to play.
