2012 Schedule Announcement and Schedule.

Nothing particularly exciting, all of the same opponents as last year, except there's no Stony Brook, which means only 6 non-conference games. Does anyone know if this is due to a change in Ivy rules?

Inside Lacrosse "checks-in" with the Big Red in an article posted today: http://insidelacrosse.com/news/2011/10/26/fallball-2011-cornell-big-red-check

Lengthy injury list apparently a factor in fall practices and scrimmages.

Good news at least that none of the injured seems in jeopardy of missing time this spring. Also interesting that Buczek seems slated for the midfield. The battle in goal should be interesting.

Rather thoughtful preview of the 2012 Ivy League season by 'gotigers' on this laxpower thread. Scroll down a bit.

Faceoff classic tickets are now on sale

Is Cornell going to sell tickets too or?

Inside Lacrosse names Pannell, Lang, and Noble pre-season first-team All-Americans (although the genii at cornellbigred.com think Lang is second team::whistle:

, and give Bronzino honorable mention.

It's been long-rumored, but now confirmed that Connor English, who left Virginia after last season, is transferring to Cornell.

What, my link wasn't good enough? :-P

Does lax have a transfer waiting period or can he play immediately?

dag14 · December 29, 2011, 05:00:40 PM

If UVa releases him, he is eligible immediately. The Inside Lax article seems to indicate he is eligible.

Jeff Hopkins '82 · December 30, 2011, 08:08:04 AM

Anybody know why he left UVa?

Quote from: Jeff Hopkins '82Anybody know why he left UVa?

Not sure, but I'd guess playing time. English was the #7 ranked recruit coming out of secondary school and played little at UVa, with even less time as a sophomore than as a freshman. Why the lack of playing time I can't answer. Maybe his high school skills didn't transfer to the college game. Maybe a wrong style for Starsia's offensive concept. Maybe he didn't get along with Starsia. Don't really know. His pointed comments about De Luca in the IL article are clear, however.
