Cornell lacrosse 2018

[Swampy]

'Cuse just took down Duke. Rumors of the Orange's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

[mike1960]

The team sent an Instagram pic of them practicing at daybreak on Schoellkopf when it was 9 degrees. That's dedication and it is paying off big time.

[CU77]

That's not new though. What's new this season is better coaching and game planning.

[upprdeck]

cuse has 3 good wins and 3 blow out losses in the last 6 games..  4-3 that could just as easily be 1-6.. UV coughed up a 9-2 lead today.  Army lost to Colgate. UNC has lost 3 in a row. We are the only team to give Albany a game. Who knows where this season is headed.

[CU77]

Beating Syracuse is a real possibility this year.

[Al DeFlorio]

We are the only team to give Albany a game.

Maryland gave Albany an essentially identical game.  Don't disagree with your primary assertion, that having been said.

Kids today. They'll do anything to build followers. Do like their elders and buy them.

Top 15 this week? Higher? We have a convincing win over 15-Penn to go with the close losses to 1-Albany and 8-Yale. And nothing self-inflicted such as a loss to Hobart or Binghamton. Quint Kessenich had Cornell 11 last week; he's the one person who apparently doesn't believe a team should only move 1-2-3 positions vs. the previous week.

Inside Lacrosse media poll vaults Cornell from also getting votes to #13. http://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/maverik-division-i-media-poll-four-new-teams-in-top-20/51737
Yale jumped 6 to 4. Penn fell out of the top 20. Harvard moves in to 19.

USILA poll (they don't rush to put it on their site) has Cornell at 14. http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/denv/sports/m-lacros/auto_pdf/2017-18/misc_non_event/0326USILA.pdf

The Crimson beat Boston U, 19-18, in overtime on Tuesday [heh! another sport where Harvard can be embarrassed by in-town rival] ... The entire Ivy League had a strong mid-week showing, as Brown, Harvard and Penn won. Harvard took care of Dartmouth on Saturday, 10-8, running its win streak to six straight. The Crimson play Albany on Wednesday. Four of their last five regular-season games are on the road, at Albany, Cornell [4/7], Penn and Yale. Yikes. Say bye-bye.

Great article. +1! The Yale writeup, especially about the after-practice practice and the head sleeves is well worth reading.

Those headsocks: It looked as if they just took over a cruise ship or airplane. Also makes you wonder if anyone ever gets sideswiped, forgetting for a moment to look around.

I think that's the point of the headsocks. If I were coaching the team, it would be me doling out the sideswipes.

this is an example of how this campus is run. notes from todays game

SPECTATOR INFORMATION: The Crescent Lot, Hoy Parking Garage and other outer lots are reserved for Cornell faculty and staff possessing parking permits until 5 p.m. Fans arriving prior to 5 p.m. should stop at the Transportation Services kiosk on Hoy Road to purchase a parking pass for the Hoy Parking Garage, or be directed to one of the metered lots on Campus Road. Fans can order tickets for the game online at:

They really want people to pay for a parking spot for 15min?

why not start the game at 5:30 or stop ticketing at 4:30?  Why are we creating this extra hastle?

The reality is the lots are emptying out at 4:30 anyway.

[billhoward]

Park there at 4:30 and report back. Maybe we can GoFund the ticket if there is one.
