Men's Ivy League Lacrosse Tournament

[French Rage]

I wonder why Cornell, the #1 seed, is playing the late game.  I think the ECACH approach makes more sense:  top seed gets the early game.

Maybe because both teams have a full 24+ hours to recover, the "early" v. "late" game does not make too much of a difference. In this scenario, it would make sense for the host team to have the pick of game times and maximize fan support. Though with it being slope day, not sure how many of the undergrad fans will be sober. ::drunk::

Not being sober could make for a more animated crowd, however.  Unconscious, though, not so much.

So nobody really cares about Game 1, eh?

Edit: I guess I do enough to check livestats.  P leads Y 4-2 early in the 3rd. Shots 23-18 in favor of Princeton.

[Al DeFlorio]

Now 6-2 P after trailing 1-0 until late 2nd quarter.  Yale struggling to get good shots.  Announcers awful.

I care.  But I just woke up.

Thanks for the updates.

Score update?  Last I saw was 7-5 PU with 6:11 to play in the Princeton thread on Laxpower, but that was a half hour ago.  The game must be over by now, right?

[Al DeFlorio]

Right.  7-6 Princeton.  Yale made two unforced throwaways in the last minute and never took a shot for the tying goal.

[Josh '99]

Thanks!

With the win, Princeton moves ahead of Cornell to #6 in RPI, .616 to .609.

3-2 CU with a couple left in the 1st.  CU dominating possession (I think we've won every faceoff), but the Brown goalie has made about 4 point-blank saves.  If he keeps that up it will be tough

[scoop85]

3-2 CU end of one.  BTW, these announcers are horrid.  The color guy just does not shut up.

[Al DeFlorio]

Shots 13-5 for Cornell, but Brown scored on a coast-to-coast by a longstick and a quick goal on one of their few possessions.  Gotta start putting more of these shots into the net.

[Al DeFlorio]

Cornell playing without Lau; Gillum now at midfield with Mock at attack.

[scoop85]

5-2 CU.  Cornell dominating FO's and groundballs.  Brown having a terrible time clearing.

[scoop85]

6-3 Red after a man-up by Brown.  But we've missed golden opportunities to be up by 7 or 8

[Al DeFlorio]

Hurley and Lang miss wide-open shots and Brown makes it 6-3 with an EMO goal.
