Cornell @ Harvard Lax

Harvard's Lacrosse video is free today:

6-4 Harvard at the half. In the short time I've been watching, I've seen some very sloppy mistakes by CU, giving H the majority of possession time late in the 2nd.  H scored twice in the last 1:30 of the half to take the lead.  Noble had an easy clear on the man-down, but coughed it up, leading to the go-ahead score.  Mock with 2, Pannell with 1.

Harvard leads the nation in having broadcasters who really don't seem to know much about the sport they are calling.

H broadcaster calling Pannell's goal "SportsCenter Top 10 worthy" and then tried to describe it as "underhand, backhand...whatever you want to call it"

The video is the scoreboard feed, and there was an ad for the Harvard Varsity Golf tournament that showed various Harvard athletes golfing in their equipment. The Harvard hockey player was driving the golf cart.

CU starts shooting on unsettled situations, Mock with 2 of 3 to start the 3rd, including a man-up, now 7-6 Red.  CU seems to be struggling on the faceoffs.

9-7 Harvard, 5 min. left in 3Q. Cornell constantly defending EMOs and losing at the x since I started watching. Yikes.

10-7 Harvard after 3. Cornell not looking good.

12-12, late in the 4th. Cornell settling down on both ends and tied it up. Cornell still getting dangerously chippy on D and ending up a man down.

13-12, Cornell. 2:41 left. Cornell offense is starting to find the seams. Van Bourgondien with the last two, from the exact same spot.

Not only has Cornell come back for a 14-12 lead late in the fourth, but Harvard video and Cornell audio are nearly in sync.

Cornell outscores Crimson 6-2 in fourth, fights off 2 penalties last 2 minutes, to win 14-12. Phew.l

[ugarte]

Harvard audio wasn't bad. 14-12 final as Cornell dominated the last 5 or 6 minutes of the game.

I started watching in the second half and don't think I saw a single Cornell EMO (not a criticism of the officials; I didn't see anything that warranted a flag). I saw 6 or 7 for Harvard and this is also not a criticism of the officials. Some of the calls against Cornell were chintzy but the Red were playing rough.

Rich, thanks for posting. I never thought Harvard would give away something of value.

Cornell still getting dangerously chippy on D and ending up a man down.

Clearly Schafer's fault.

Don't think I didn't think that. We know it isn't Schafer because the team won RIGHT GUYS

It took Cornell 3 quarters to figure out how to penetrate Krieger's Fort Kick-Ass.
