Cornell lacrosse 2017

[TimV]

is there a reason the bottom's totally dropped out this year? or was it just the bad recruiting/coaching change fallout coming to a head with lack of upperclassmen?

Saturday's game felt as if Cornell was missing on a lot of fit-and-finish things that might be attributed to a young team. First five trips upfield into Albany's end Cornell turned the ball over. A long pole came rambling in and took a shot that wasn't warranted. Errant passes. A couple careless penalties. Maybe that gets better later in the year.

Lots of teams have freshmen and sophs who can throw accurately and catch the ball.  If they can't, they wouldn't be division I athletes.  This is a matter of discipline and focus. Do you think Ritchie would tolerate three games worth of this?  How about Pietramala?  Tambroni?

I know Ned wouldn't, believe me.

Nobody complained about Kerwick's coaching when he started his first, 2014, season with a 9-0 run and Cornell made an NCAA appearance.

Accurate observation but irrelevant comment.  That was achieved while coaching other people's recruits who benefit by other people's coaching, during regimes that stressed basic skills and in-game discipline.  So far, only the recruiting is up to traditional standards of Cornell Lacrosse.

Last year was also a disappointing year for Cornell lacrosse, with a 1-5 Ivy record.

Knight playing great. Petterson missed a wide-open look that would've given us our 8th goal.  The play-by-play and color guys don't shut up and are annoying the hell out of me

[ugarte]

I don't mind the color guys. I mind that I started watching and the team started playing a lot less well.

[Al DeFlorio]

9-4 at the half

the last goal was great. tic tac toe passing to a guy on the doorstep for the easiest shot of his life.

The color guy sounds halfway competent. The PbP guy is a clown who must have won some "be a sports announcer" silent auction at sportscenter camp.

One minute: Do you think the heat will be a factor tonight? These teams just aren't used to these temperatures. Yes. Dehydration will be a big issue.

Five minutes later: It's a beautiful 61 degrees tonight.

What?

[Chris '03]

And it's 11-11.

up 6-0 and 11-6 and now losing

13-11 UVA after 3. Big difference was we got dominated at FO that quarter, and UVA's backup goalie made some point-blank saves while Knight lost his magic from the 1st half
