Quote from: WederI have no idea how Lindsay Browning managed hockey, biomedical engineering and ROTC.
Intramural hockey and the Daily Sun extended me to the limit. Plus the road games, pickup matches at Cass Park.

Love to see it

USA-Canada U18 championship game at 8:30 p.m. ET tonight (6/13) on NHL Network (TSN in Canada).
3/8/96

Player of the game (USA side) of the USA-Sweden semifinal was Grace Dwyer (Cornell '23-24)
Player of the game (Canada side) of the Canada-Finland semifinal was Karel Préfontaine (Cornell '23-24).

These next two years' recruiting classes are going to be insane.

They probably won't jump to the pros, either.

As far as I can tell, this is the most commits Cornell has had on a Canadian U18 team since 2008 (Lauriane Rougeau, Laura Fortino, Brianne Jenner, Chelsea Karpenko, Amanda Mazzotta and Catherine White). And Rebecca Johnston was a freshman and already on the senior national team at that point. I don't think Cornell has ever had 2 commits on the U.S. U18 team in the same season?

This raises a really good question: What are the odds that Cornell's next NC in a major team sport will be in:

a. Men's Hockey
b. Women's Hockey
c. Men's Lacrosse
d. Women's Lacrosse
e. Men's Basketball
f. Women's Basketball
etc.

That year, Fortino and Rougeau formed a freshmen defensive pairing that lasted four years here (and beyond for Team Canada).  I can imagine that MacEachern and Regalado might form such a defensive pairing starting next year.  They have both featured prominently thus far at the U18's.

I'd say women's hockey 1st with men's lacrosse a close 2nd (largely because there are fewer competitive D1 women's hockey teams), then men's wrestling and men's hockey 3rd/4th in either order. No other "major" Cornell team (so I'm excluding crew and polo) is anywhere in the picture for a NC.

Polo wins like every year.

But of those I think it has to be Men's Lacrosse and then Women's Hockey.  They are the only ones who are close.  Men's Hockey might sometime in my lifetime, Lord hear our prayer.

I had no idea Women's Lacrosse was a varsity sport until this very second.

Canada beats the US 3-2 for the gold. Prefontaine had an assist in the win.

CU had the 1st Ivy women's lacrosse team in 1972, and were the 1st women's Cornell team in any sport to make an NCAA "final four" field in 2002.

Polo really doesn't win every year. The Men's team has 11 titles, but only two since 1967. The Women have had much more recent success having won the national title 8 times since 2000 (15 overall).

i don't think they'll pull it off (Big 10 is too deep) but if you consider wrestling a major sport (and i see lax on your list...) it's much more likely than basketball or even women's lax.
