Lacrosse 2012-2013

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

Let's hope the snub is a little incentive for the weekend.

If we had an all-round attackman on the second or third team snubbed by the elevation of a goals-oriented attackman, we would make the same argument in favor of our all-rounder. The voters may have seen a player whose production fell off in the 2012 season without Pannell feeding him.

[b]Steve Mock career stats[/b]
2103 59G 9G 68pts 16 games, before NCAA semis
2012 23G 6A 29pts No Pannell
2011 40G 3A 43pts (edit: 40 not 30 goals in 2011)
2010 21G 2A 23pts Play 13G, start 2

There are already All-America slots for the faceoff specialist and long-stick midfielder. Maybe there should be one for pure goal scoring. The combination of two complementary players, Pannell and Mock, or McEneneany and French 1975-76 (only 2 varsity years overlapped), was more deadly that two attackman cut from the same cloth.

So let Mock be content with advancing further than the other two first-team AAs. And hopefully raising the big trophy Monday.

Mock's Pannell-free dropoff seems more dramatic if 30+3=43 but it doesn't. Was this a math error or a typo in his 2011 goals?

I would hope he and the rest already have all the incentive they need. It's championship weekend.

His bio page on the Cornell site says 40 goals, 3 assists.

Every little bit helps.

Mock had 40 not 30 goals as a sophomore then with Panell out it fell to 23 as a junior and this year he is pushing 60. It may be that Pannell's amazing feeds allow Mock to be all he can be.

Pannell named USILA Division I Awards: Rob Pannell Named Player of the Year.

To close out the 2013 season...Pannell wins a couple of Inside Lacrosse's "Laxies:"

For whatever that's worth.

I guess lacrosse players have to work hard to get into the Olympics.
