Lacrosse 2012-2013

In case you haven't heard it yet, Cornell narrowly beat the Tarheels and dominated the Bluejays last weekend. Here are some links:

And, on the same day at the same place, Rob Pannell had four goals and four assists to lead all scorers in a USA team intrasquad scrimmage.

The tone of the Inside Lacrosse story makes this sound like a very, very good year for Cornell. Sounds as if we have 4 goalies. Be nice if we have one who manages to be as good as Tyler Fiorito. We should all be thankful to Rob Pannell for sticking with Cornell (okay, he was the team captain, so that makes it a little harder to transfer loyalties) and to the Pannell Family for forking over a ninth (spring 2013) semester of tuition.

Thirty years from now, if things go as planned, Rob will look back at this decision as one of the best he ever made. Memories that erase the foul taste of 2009 will be priceless.

This is not to say that Cornell fans everywhere don't owe the Pannells a tremendous debt of gratitude. We also owe a similar debt to the coaching staff (now and when Rob was recruited) for recruiting someone with such character and installing in him such loyalty to and love for alma mater.

Wow, That was fun.  Looks like we may have some outside shooters to use against the zones that have troubled us before.

Thanks Al.

Really interesting schedule. Love the additions of Colgate and Bucknell, and even Siena is a welcome change. Also the Hobart game being at the dome is pretty hilarious after all the hand-wringing over last year's cancellation. The mid-season run @Yale/Bucknell/Penn/Siena/Dartmouth in 11 days seems pretty daunting. Also, the 14 regular season games (not including possible Ivy Tournament games or NCAA games) are more games than we played all of last year.

Interesting is right. The stretch of 3 road, 4 home, 3 road is bizarre as is giving up an Ivy home game to play at MetLife. Last home game could be March 30?! Senior day in March with four regular season games left? Also note that March 30 falls on hockey regional weekend.

At least more games = more chances for QWs and more teams to drop from t-10 SOS.

The Princeton game is part of a double-header.  Notre Dame vs. Syracuse is the late game.

And unfortunately, it's the only game close enough for a day trip for me.

Just took a look at the schedule -- the Hobart game site and time are now listed as "TBA". Odd.

[billhoward]

Last regular season game at home is March 30. I hope Cornell-Princeton @ Met Life (Meadowlands) is a 2 year deal so Princeton also gives up a home game.

The CU Athletics website says:



I hope someone gives the lacrosse team bus drive a map before they get on the road.

(Tickets for the doubleheader start at $25/$30 incl. TM fees, or $20 for group of 10 or more, if this hasn't already been mentioned.  Also, for those who REALLY want to make a day of it, the group order form I found on the Giants Stadium website says that there are also prep school lacrosse games at 11am and 1:15pm featuring three of the better teams in New Jersey and one from Missouri.)
