Cornell-Brown lax

12-9 -- that could be the killer

D has looked like Swiss cheese today, I regret to say.

Not scoring on that EMO was a killer.  Brown moves the ball much quicker on the EMO, which is why they are 45% or so.

Credit to Brown - they've gotten the bulk of the key ground balls.  Also, we did not have enough movement on offense the last few minutes; it's almost as they've come to expect Pannell to do it by himself.

Really too bad to lose this one at home.  Cornell will need a win next week at Princeton or in the first round of the Ivy tournament to have a shot at the NCAAs.  After the great effort against Syracuse, I expected a more mature performance today.

Brown goalie's made some nice saves, especially at key moments.

13-10 final.  We just didn't have it today.  D was shaky, Fiore was ordinary, and Brown played an intelligent game.  

Don't know what to expect next week, but Princeton is certainly beatable -- but not unless we play a lot better.

Usually lacrosse beats teams they should beat and loses to teams that are better, give or take Virginia last May. This is more hockey-teamish ... capable of beating or losing to anyone. We weren't expecting another run deep into the lax final four this year, were we? And yet, the Syracuse game gave hope we might do okay.
