SU @ Cornell Pregame

[Al DeFlorio]

Dumb shot by Moyers.

[Al DeFlorio]

And we throw it away.

Biggest difference I see with our team from last year is the lack of crisp passing.  It's been a repeated theme for the season, which will bite you in the rear against a quality team.

[Jacob '06]

We've had the chances to get back in to this game but we keep just throwing away passes or taking shots without backup etc. Uncharacteristic things for Tambroni coached teams.

[scoop85]

That's a backbreaker

[Al DeFlorio]

The clincher.

[scoop85]

we've gone to sleep in front of our net.

[scoop85]

Schmicker has been doing a nice job at the X, but that was a silly play.

[Al DeFlorio]

11 shots on goal is not gonna beat a good team

[scoop85]

Those guys can really rip it.  Hard to fault Myers on many of these shots.

[scoop85]

Awful job backing up shots -- can't remember when I've seen it so bad.

[scoop85]

Too bad, but Syracuse has more horses than we do this year.  Still an awful lot to play for, so we we have to buck it up and take care of business against Dartmouth on Saturday.

It's supposed to be a rebuilding year. Okay, so far we've had a rebuilding game here and against UNC.

From afar it looked as if we should have just let Seibald try a couple more one-on-ones. Probably not that simple.

Cornell can't look past Dartmouth etcetera, and once we get past the Green, the season really hinges on Princeton. At least the NCAA seeding committee has to take the Ivy champion - although they're probably thinking of a way to screw Princeton / Cornell / whoever out of that.

We also can't leave Brown out of the equation.

I think this sums up tonight's game well.  Add a rash of penalties, shake well, and you get 15-8.

As Tim pointed out, on offense we just couldn't get the ball inside.
