Could be one heck of a weekend for her - she won All-American honors Friday night with an 8th place in the long jump finals at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships in Arkansas.

BTW, in case anyone hasn't figured it out, on the CornellBigRed.com site, the article about the women's game has a link to listen live, there's a typo that results in you being taken to WBBR, not WVBR.  I used this link to connect:

LGR!

*oops*

Cornell up 47-26, but in foul trouble.

The announcer has the awful tendency to refer to the school in Cambridge as 'Hahvad'.

Why the 'oops', Ben?

I had a 2 typos in my subject line, but have I corrected them.  Union can't count, I can't type.

During halftime, there was a rather interesting interview with the departing Ivy Director, Jeff Orleans.

A bunch of questions were asked about the possibility of an Ivy Hoops tournament, and Orleans suggested that it would just be a matter of the coaches coming to an agreement about the setup (how many teams would be included, whether or not most games would be played on the higher seed's court, etc.)

They just showed some footage of the Cornell stands. Pretty good crowd. They don't seem very loud however, considering the history that is being made.

64-47. Final. Cornell women invited to Dance. First time in Ivy League history that both the men's and women's teams invited to the Dance are from the same school.

[jaybert]

what kind of seed are we looking at in the women's tourney?

[mnagowski]

I'm really not the best person to speak about this, but last year Harvard had a 15 seed and lost to Maryland in the first round by 24 points.

Womens bracketology on ESPN has them as a 15 facing Rutgers

Great time at the Columbia gym this afternoon. Team played with huge effort and wasn't missing a shot in the first 10 minutes. Dartmouth never had a chance.  Strange refereeing' letting them play all first half and funding all the whistles in the 2nd half.

Disagree with the earlier assessment of the crowd. The Cornell contingent was in to it the whole time and chanting often. All on our feet in the last 2 minutes chanting.

Kudos to the trumpets for getting to the game.

Let's Go Red!!!
