Lacrosse April 2012

[billhoward]

Enough for a separate April thread on lacrosse? The Feb-March discussion is getting lengthy.

Against Syracuse (4/10), Cornell doubles the Orange 12-6 for its 700th win and (did I hear this right) now the nation's longest (longest home?) winning streak.

The Cornell-Hobart game is still listed as Postponed not Cancelled but when can it be played? Cornell has Saturday free but probably doesn't want to insert a Tuesday or Wednesday game in advance of Brown(home) or Princeton (away) and then it's Ivy Tournament weekend. If no game, Hobart should have tried to harder (like make a phone call?) to use the Carrier Dome the weekend of the postponement.

Let's hope Rob Pannell is healing.

It's a shame the game almost certainly won't be played.  It's also a shame that the NCAA system is designed to that the cancellation will work to Cornell's benefit given that a win vs. (two win) Hobart is worse than not playing them at all at selection time.

Cornell plays many of its non-league games against NYS teams to the benefit of NYS lacrosse: Hobart, SUNY Binghamton, Syracuse, Hobart, Canisius ... and I think in some years past other NYS schools. With Bucknell and Lehigh looking good, I could see interest in dropping a lesser NYS team to pick up another top ten school such as Hopkins or a near top ten school such as Bucknell or Lehigh.

Hobart dropped D1 lacrosse a couple years ago, the alumni and lax alumni revolted, and Hobart reinstated D1. Big loser seasons such as this one, repeated, might make Hobart think again about where it wants to play. This is probably an uncharacteristically off season. The crusher was Saturday's OT loss to visiting Ohio State.

Cornell plays Hobart twice in some seasons? Or are there two schools named Hobart?

One is Hobart. The other is William Smith.

I had a class with him freshman year before he won any national championships. As far as I could tell, he was just like any other student. I didn't even know he was on the wrestling team until my roommate who was also on the team mentioned him. Unless those three titles went to his head, I bet that hasn't changed.

Another thread jumped from Cornell lax to article about Cornell lax by the Post Standard, so the Post Standard is the one degree of separation between a three with both Cornell lax and wrestling. Took me a moment to figure out.
