Cornell vs Dartmouth men's lacrosse 4/18/26

[George64]

Tully was again terrific.  Cornell has allowed an average of only 10 goals per game this season, 9.18 if we erase the Penn State debacle. Only single digit goals against in the last four games.

Also the weekend of 4/18, some close calls for the top teams:

• #1 Notre Dame beat #16 Duke 7-6.
• #2 Princeton beat #9 Harvard 15-14
• #3 North Carolina beat #11 Virginia 16-15 in OT
• #4 Richmond beat unranked St. Joseph's (Philadelphia) 13-11
• #5 Syracuse (which elected not to play Cornell in 2026) beat Colgate 14-7.

RPI for NCAA lacrosse purposes is based on the team's winning percentage (25% of the total), their opponents' winning percentage (50% of the total), and on their opponents' opponents' winning percentage (25% of the total). Margin of victory is not a factor. Published rankings also publish (informationally) a team's strength of schedule, and record versus teams ranked in bands of 1-5, 6-10, 11-20, and 21+.

After the Dartmouth game is 1-1 against the top 5 (beat Princeton, lost to Richmond), no results versus 6-10, 2-2 versus 11-20, 6-0 verus 21+.
