[billhoward]

Time flies when youre winning. Senior day is Saturday, March 30, vs. Darmouth. The rest of the regular season is on the road. The Princeton at Cornell game end of Aoril is at the Meadowlands. We can hope for the Ivy tournament and NCaa first round game to be in Ithaca.

Are helping our RPI so far- Virginia 6 Maryland 3 and Bucknell 10 Army 5 both in 2nd half.::cheer::

[Josh '99]

Up to #1 in the Laxpower rankings following Maryland's loss to Virginia last night.

[billhoward]

Be interesting for Cornell to be #1 in power rankings and also (at least as of midweek) facing the first round NCAA game as the visiting team.

Half of all living Cornellians arrived after Richie Moran stepped down as lacrosse coach. It was great to see him in the stands at the Meadowlands stadium Saturday cheering on Cornell.  being an incredible supporter of Cornell sports, and a link to the greatest years of Cornell lax who continues to be part of Cornell. I don't think you'll see Rick Pitino or John Calipari spending their post-coaching years on campus. (Jim Boeheim, yes, to his credit, will always be a Syracuse guy.) Richie is ever-upbeat and he must know every Cornellian who crossed his path. Somebody, please, name a building after Richie. I'll kick in for one of the men's room swinging doors.

Richie is awesome!!!!
I have to edit this post.  I met Richie for the first time one memorial day weekend, actually on the saturday night after the semi-finals in 1987.  It was in a crappy god-knows where motel in NJ after we had just defeated Syracuse, and the Gaits, in the NCAA semi final at Rutgers.  I was a nobody, no lacrosse background, nothing,... and he made me feel like an expert.  It was an amazing day.  The game was tied 15-15 on a hot hot hot afternoon.  Cornell with Goldstein and Wurtzberger clicking like they had all year, was gassed.  The heat was taking its toll on our up-tempo game, and Syracuse was coming on to us and we had no timeouts left. Richie then pulls the ultimate move, a coaches stick check!  A few minutes break while the stick was being checked, and just like he planned it, 3 goals in a row for the good guys and an 18 - 15 win.  THE, THE, THE,  best f'ing game I have ever seen.  We had no time-outs left and the stick check was the only way to slow down the game and Richie pulled it off.  The Syracuse coach, Simmons I think it was, was completely bullshit, screaming like a banshee, going nuts.  Anyway, the rules were changed after that.
I met Richie a few times after that.  He will not remember me, but I will never forget him.
A Cornell treasure.....

Not sure about the discrepancy.  As was already posted, he had 16 last year.  I think the difference between third and fourth is whether Greer's year at Bryant counts.  If I'm not mistaken they were quasi-D1 that year, like Penn State hockey was this past year.  So it's ambiguous whether his stats count towards division 1 records.

[billhoward]

Cornell probably has a more accurate count because it wants to publicize each RP3 milestone and doesn't want to have to issue corrections. He certainly is within striking distance of the points and assists records if the season extends the six more games we hope it does. Good for bragging rights in the future. Right, more wins is what counts.

[Redscore]

By their own account, Cornell is not correct. The number is 327. Go to Cornell lacrosse's own bio of pannell and add up the first 4 years plus 2 games and you get 252 points.  75 this year makes it 327.

I agree, if we win the next 6 and RP3 does not score another point that is better than RP3 scoring another 30 and losing. I suspect RP3 would agree.

I am sure Princeton will come loaded for bear on Friday, it is do or die for them. Winning that game is the only thing that counts right now.
