Cornell-Bucknell Lacrosse

[Chris '03]

3 goals in two minutes in the snow; 3 goals in 30+ minutes after the plow

Here's hoping for a wintry May.

Now 3 goals in 43 minutes.  It's no secret Bucknell does their 10-man ride.  Why are we so unprepared for it?  Looks like Cornell hockey trying to break out against Q or Yale.

Al, I'm as perplexed as you are.  We have experienced coaches on the sideline.  Quite mystifying.

Thanks goodness AJ is having a good day.

What is it with our defensemen getting hung seemingly once a quarter.

Bronzino at least a few times

[Al DeFlorio]

One goal in each of periods 2, 3, and 4.  Maybe we thought the game was over when it was 5-0.

[Al DeFlorio]

Still can't shoot straight.  Terrible loss.

Max VB really had to get that one off of Pannell's gorgeous feed.

I think shooting is the least of the problems.  Bad on Faceoffs, clears maybe even worse.  Lots of nervous play out there, fumbling passes etc.  AJ was our best guy today IMO

[Cornell95]

a very frustrating game, continued problems at faceoff and no answer for the 10man zone ride on clears
(admittedly a short turn around Tuesday game probably left them little time to prepare)

AJ played a very good game

I dont watch enough games to understand the application of the stall warning... but to have zero stalls called in this game cant be right
My guess is the coach will have a few words for the officials either on or off the record

hopefully whatever had Mock on the sidelines will be very temporary as well

Stunning loss. Bucknell had only beaten one team with a winning record, with a very ugly loss on its resume. To blow a 5-0 lead to the Bison makes me have no worries about making alternative plans for Memorial Day.

Aargghhh!!!!
I'm having hockey déjà-vu!
And, "the team that shall not be named" is on a roll!!??

If we look this bad without Mock, imagine what next year will be like.

Why are we so quick to give up on our teams' seasons this year?

Plus, I've been hearing a lot of chatter this week about a Bucknell upset, so it wasn't entirely umexpected...  Wait, never mind, wrong sport.

I think ithacat is underselling Bucknell.  "Only beaten one team with a winning record" couldn't even be used to describe Hopkins this year, and certainly does not capture the whole story with a very good Bucknell team.  I would say this loss is only stunning if you had unreal expectations for the Big Red this year.  This Cornell team (unlike some others it has been compared to in this thread) still has National Championship aspirations, and this game does not change that, but may in fact help the team focus for their next challenge, a very good Penn team on Saturday.

What put Mock on the sidelines? Did he play and then leave?

Better to lose this one than an Ivy game (or an extra Ivy game). I could see the Ivy champion having a league loss this year. The tournament belongs in Ithaca. Hopefully no snow by then.
