Ivy League Lacrosse Tournament

They also said that we only lost once this season (to Virginia), and that our 5-4 lead was our first lead of the day.

Maybe they stopped off at Slope Day for a couple quick drinks.

Pannell has 5 points on 8 goals now. CU 8-4 6:39 to play 3rd.

And made much of this being the first time - ever! - Harvard is in the Ivy lax tournament title game.

UNC up 5-2 on Notre Dame at the half on ESPNU also.

7-4 UNC over ND at the end of the third.

9-5 end of 3. Moving Noble to take most of the faceoffs has paid off nicely.  Even though he's not winning most of them, he's getting a stalemate which allows us to have a 50/50 shot at the GB.  Also, Fiore's been making some saves -- kudos to him after a rough start following a bad game last week.

Now 10-5 and 6? points for Pannell.

Why is Pannell trying for that big hit on the sideline? Nothing good can come of it (just like the hit near the end of the Princeton game)

The ESPN announcers didn't realize it was a penalty on Cornell, even though it was obvious Yale had the extra man.

11-7 with 13 second left, though I assume by the time I submit this the game will be over.

UNC 8, UND 7 with 42 seconds to go.  If UNC holds on, we should pass Notre Dame for 2nd in RPI, at least temporarily.

EDIT: Irish tie it with 13 seconds to go. On to overtime.  Irish with 48 seconds left on man up.  Ball was on ground at end of regulation, so they'll face off.

Tar Heels win! They won the faceoff to start OT and held the ball until the penalty expired, then took it to the cage and scored.  Huge collapse at the end of regulation by the Tar Heels, followed by a huge mistake by the Irish not holding onto the ball as time was expiring in regulation.

UNC 9-8 on their first possession of the faceoff.

UNC with a reputation for folding late in the game, late in the season ... Notre Dame with bad luck in OT games when it counts. Could've gone either way. Does Notre Dame drop out of the top 4 seeds now?

Second game in a row when we've played terribly in the first quarter (Fiore was poor but the team was bad all-around). Turned things around, got Yale on the back foot, and rolled after that. From where I was sitting (on the west side of the stadium) it looked like the Yale player had gotten a cheap shot in on Pannell, so I was surprised that Pannell got penalized for it. He looked a little shaken up, but hopefully he'll be okay for Sunday.

Oh, and I hugged all the Yale players and gave them cookies after the game so that they would feel better.

[billhoward]

On TV, for the second game in a row, Pannell ran an opposing player out of bounds with more vigor than the officials felt necessary.
