Cornell lacrosse 2014

[Johnny 5]

Strangely, I like the Ivy tournament match ups more this way than if Cornell was hosting.
Yale seeking revenge, Cornell not facing Harvard in game one, Cornell enhancing resume for NCAA tournament with neutral site game vs. Penn.  I think this might be better for Cornell than even hosting the tournament.

I am not a betting guy, but after today's game, I feel pretty confident I would win this one:
- Christian Knight gets named Ivy rookie or player of the week
- Christian Knight named Ivy rookie of the year

So who expected Marshall Peters to get more points than Tom Schreiber?

From the Ivy League, a Penn sophomore attackman, Nick Doktor. From upstate New York, a freshman goalie from Cor -- correction, Colgate, Brandon Burke. From Cornell, nobody. Inside Lacrosse (Kessenich) cites the game's 13 emerging stars including late bloomer seniors. http://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/quint-13-emerging-lacrosse-stars/28324/1

Kessinich coached Knight at Boys' Latin as an assistant-probably does not want to show favoritism

ESPN3 video feed is excellent. It can be done.

[French Rage]

5-7 at the half.

[scoop85]

we're losing the shots and GB battles, which is not a good sign.  Probably fortunate to be down only two at the half.  Littner scored a sick behind-the-back goal with :11 left in the half to cut it to two.

Announcers say the same thing about Donovan they said about Rob Pannell last year in playoffs: Got to get more involved.

[Chris '03]

8-7 good guys. Three straight to start the 3rd.

4 goal run. Cornell dominating. But only an 8-7 lead. Need more. Another by Donovan to make it 9-7. About time the other team collapsed in Q3. And then on the faceoff called for 2 penalties. Ouch.

[billhoward]

OMG. Lintner's second behind the back goal. 10-7.

[French Rage]

10-7 after 3.

Edit: Does Prysm sell videowalls?

[billhoward]

6 straight Red goals. Could the Penn defense be wearing down? Still, a 3-goal lead isn't much.

[billhoward]

Ouch, Penn scores late to go up 11-10, Cornell controls the faceoff with :30 to play and Connor Buczek tosses a pass high over the end line under no pressure. Ouch. Wait for selection Sunday to see what happens.
