It has been a long-standing Cornell tradition not to exceed 19 goals in a blowout out of respect for a beleaguered opponent.  And I don't believe they will shoot on an open net unless the outcome of the game is still in doubt.  Yesterday the Colgate goalie was out of the net red-dogging and Coach DeLuca saw a player ready to shoot at the wide-open net so he called a time out and the officials waved off the 20th goal.  I am sure something was said during that timeout but whether with patience or anger was not evident from the stands....

I think that 19 goal stopping point started with Bill Tierney's powerful Princeton teams of the early 90's - and was soon picked up by others.

Apropos of nothing, the score of 19 in lacrosse always makes me think of cribbage, where it is impossible to get a "19 point hand," so it is common to refer to any zero-point hand as a 19 pointer.  A 19-pointer in lacrosse is slightly better!
