Inside Lacrosse rankings have Yale 10, Brown 7, Notre Dame 1. http://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/swezey-s-way-ahead-2017-rankings/35561

Recruiting class sounds solid. This is the year for Matt Kerwick to come into his own after 2 years as head coach, 1 year as interim (freshmen, sophomores are his recruits, juniors signed on in the interim-coach year).

I saw that Dom M is no longer on the team, but I haven't found the reason why...anyone know?

Presumably we'll never get the full details, but IL had an article about it:

"The coaching staff and I both agreed that the Cornell lacrosse program wasn't the right fit for me," Massimilian says.

[billhoward]

One of the top face-off specialists in the country the past two season, the loss of his abilities is certainly a setback for the Big Red's hopes to return to the Ivy League Tournament this season.

Re-learn to walk before you run: IL argues Cornell's aspiration is to be top-four in a seven-team league and maybe that's a reach. Let's hope the Big Red is reloading.

"The coaching staff and I both agreed that the Cornell lacrosse program wasn't the right fit for me," Massimilian says.

Thanks, semsox.  I agree that we'll never get the whole story, but the article mentions "differences with the coaching staff" and that's enough for me.  I guess I'm happy it wasn't some bad behavior on his part.

Cornell-bound Jeff Teat is Inside Lacrosse's #1 in its 2016 Power 100 Fresman Rankings.

And A Ryan Maloney of Victor is No. 45. Interesting to see Teat is enrolled in Arts & Sciences, suggesting he is up for the academic side of Cornell, too.

{Thanks for fixing the typo, Bill.}
Looks like a good start on your "hope they are reloading..."

Cornell has to reload at FOGO a year before they expected to. It was nice knowing two of three times after a goal, Cornell would gain possession on the faceoff. I'm sure there's a statistic saying a won faceoff is worth 0.X goals per faceof win.

Dom was teriffic at winning the draw but was a nightmare after the win.  He was a turnover machine, sorry to say, the worst example being Harvard in 2015. This season, also against Harvard, he was 20 of 24 on face offs and the Crimson still won handily. He will not be missed nearly as much as many fans believe.

Posters on laxpower are saying the Red will play Virginia in San Francisco this year. Anyone know any more about this? (I'm on the west coast & would be thrilled to attend!)
