Cornell lacrosse in 2011

[semsox]

I heard that Mumford didn't play any defense in either the Colgate and Hopkins scrimmage.  In the team roster, he is no longer listed.  What's up?

Laxpower Cornell thread is claiming a knee injury knocked him out for the year.  Not sure why this would remove him from the roster though unless it's some sort of eligibility related thing...

Unfortunately it looks like there was something more.  IL reporting he's left the team, confirming it with the University.  Disappointing, as everything I heard about him led me to believe he would be an asset to the team.

Inside Lacrosse has Cornell as the cover story of its March issue.  Additional pictures taken at the photo shoot are here:

Latest relevant posting on LaxPower forum:

"Wow, IL has not done a good job reporting about Mumford. First, they have him playing in their scrimmages and now they have it as if he just quit. From what I understand, he had a significant enough knee injury, to keep him out for the season including the scrimmages that they said he did a good job in. They make it sound as if he just up and quit."

Perhaps only The Shadow knows.

Not The Shadow, but Brian Delaney in today's Ithaca Journal:

"Depth did take a hit this month. Junior Peter Mumford, a highly regarded close defenseman from Onondaga Community College, suffered a torn ACL and partial tear of his MCL and has left the team. Sophomore Kyle Ewanouski, junior T.J. Weyl, senior Chris Livadas and freshman Tom Freshour are next in line."

Do any of you care as much about lacrosse jersey styles as about hockey uniform styles?

Not since the "Butt C" became standard.

The Shadow only knows what evil lurks in the heart of men.

Oh, and the weed of crime bears bitter fruit.  If anybody was curious.

I noticed that in the magazine article, there were no names identifying the players in the pictures, consistent with the Cornell "Team First" philosophy.  They also discussed The coaching staff's capably recruiting lesser acclaimed players not on Inside Lacrosse's blue chip lists and being successful with them.

... where many lacrosse players (all colleges) gravitate. Continuing their competitive nature.

These look like a return to the style worn before the butt-C jerseys.

If you can extrapolate your best single-game performance into the playoffs, ten teams would declare themselves worthy of being the NCAA champion. After the 11-6 demolition of Syracuse on the road Tuesday night, Cornell has good reason to see itself getting back to Baltimore this year.

No. 2 Notre Dame is 9-0 with one-goal wins over Denver and (on Sunday) Georgetown; they close at Syracuse and at North Carolina. If they stay unbeaten, they deserve the #1 ranking and seeding going in.

As a special treat to readers on the heels of Cornell's big win, Inside Lacrosse is running its Big Red feature story from the March issue of the magazine, reported and written by Terry Foy.

Very nice article about the multi-year effort to make Cornell a top-caliber program.

A very good story [edit: an excellent story with a lot of sources and details], but what a clumsy online intro to the print story and a heavy-handed suggestion that you really should subscribe to the magazine. Maybe IL ran the Cornell story online because no new helmets or gloves came out this week.
