1st Per.
1-0 CU (Ritchie from Glynn)
2-0 CU (Espey)
3-0 CU (Ritchie)
4-0 CU (Hurley from Ritchie)
As far as I can tell, Binghamton has no shots nobody is keeping shot stats for Bing, because Myers has 4 saves.
5-0 CU (Finn from Espey)
End of 1st

5-1 CU (Boyce from Joy)
6-1 CU (Siebald from Espey - EMO)

Looks like Tommy Schmicker is back taking faceoffs for this game.

10-4 Doctor
11-4 Doctor (Calvert)

2 goals from Doctor in the final 0:15 of the 3rd.  Barry needs to stop with the puns off the last names lest he starts sounding like the guy from Texas.

I'm guessing Tambroni would rather not have Glynn and Seibald taking face-offs unless really necessary.  Tiring stuff, and it would be best not to have the two best middies wearing themselves out doing it unless necessary.

Forcing a lot of passes during clearing and in the offensive zone today.  Wish we had a full week to prepare for Saturday's game at Penn.  Likely the toughest two Ivy opponents--P and P--are played away this year.  Harvard is also away, and they're much improved this year.

Martinez in goal to start the 4th.

4th:
12-4 CU (Hurley from Doctor)

One goal from Hurley in each quarter.  Bench coming in gradually.

You're new around here, aren't you?

Army beat Hofstra on a last second shot.  Good to see our opponents doing well against other teams, something that did not happen last year.  Will certainly help our SOS going forward.

Hey, who am I kidding.  Regardless (and as always), we're going to get screwed somewhere down the line anyway ::scream::

Other Cornell opponents' scores today:

Princeton 7-6 over Rutgers.  

Harvard led Duke 2-0 after 12 minutes, but 10-3 Duke final.  

Yale 11-3 over Hartford.  

Dartmouth 21-12 over Holy Cross.  

Brown 11-7 over Vermont.  

Syracuse 13-5 over Hobart.

[Josh '99]

Nothing really surprising there, I don't think, except maybe for Harvard having a lead on Duke at any point.

I know it's still early in the season, but I never expected to see this:  http://www.vaporia.com/sports/collegelacrosserpi.html

Holy crap, that's amazing. Thanks, Al. It's great to see how many of Cornell's past and future opponents are doing well in the ratings percentage index. There will be big changes in the coming weeks, for sure, but for now Syracuse seems entrenched in the 1-5 zone, Army and Navy are in the 6-10 zone, and somehow Denver and Binghamton are in the 11-15 zone. The other Ivy teams are way down the index, which isn't good.

I'm never entirely convinced that Wobus (or any of the other independent ratings compilers) do their indices exactly the way the NCAA does. Doesn't the NCAA do their own RPI?

Unfortunately, it appears to be murky.  Here's a quote from laxpower:

"The NCAA has not published the actual ratios they use (here 1/4 [team's record], 1/2 [opponents' records], and 1/4 [opponents' opponents' records]), so that is currently a best guess based on the numbers used for college football."

Here's how laxpower's RPI calculation looks:  http://www.laxpower.com/update08/ex_rpi.php

Towards the end of last season, the NCAA started publishing official lax RPI 'ordering'. I call it ordering because it didn't say what the RPI value was, but it listed the teams in order. I did a comparison - which I posted on laxpower - and Wobus was the only person to get every team in the exact same position as the NCAA listings, though all of them were pretty close I think.

I don't recall where those NCAA listings were posting, but maybe someone on laxpower remembers.
