Disappointing game, either team could have won, Princeton did. We only let Princeton score once in the second half and Donville was really good in goal. We had two point blank scoring chances with the shooter's toes almost on the crease, in the third, I believe, and neither one went. Princeton got back-to-back back door goals off us in the second period; shades of Pete Carril.

Nice turnout by Cornell fans, at least 500. Too bad this is our first losing season in 18 years. It seems like forever since we were in the national title game vs. Syracuse. Here's hoping Mike Jeff Teat '20 is as good as he's described and we reload in 2017. [Edit add:] Teat got the overtime goal  a week ago to keep Hill Academy unbeaten and #1 on USA Today top 25: http://usatodayhss.com/2016/the-hill-academy-ont-survives-upset-bid-to-stay-unbeaten-and-atop-super-25-boys-lacrosse-rankings
