Cornell lacrosse 2018

UMBC, slayer of Virginia in hoops, takes down #1 Albany in lax, 11-7 at home 4/7. That could've been us if we'd just held on. Inside Lacrosse headlined it, "UMBC Lacrosse's Shining Moment: Retrievers Stun No. 1 Albany."

So what you're saying is that we could have beaten Albany if only we had won the game?  Interesting theory.

Or if the game was longer?  Shorter?

Important game against Cuse on Tuesday for NCAA selection and seeding ...

Among his many skills, Jeff Teat has terrific field vision. It seems every time he is able to spot the open man and hit the cross with a perfect pass. He could help this team go a long long way.

Cornell climbs from 10 to 9 in the media poll, Syracuse from 8 to 7 http://www.insidelacrosse.com/league/DI/polls

Also:
Maryland replaces now-beaten Albany at 1.
Yale (lost in OT to Bucknell midweek) falls 3 to 6.
Lehigh (hosts Cornell Saturday) falls 17 to 18.
Harvard, Brown, Penn also receive votes.

If cornell brings the A game I think they win this game easily. as long as the D doesnt take the same bad penalties as they did vs Harvard I dont think SU can score 10+ and i will be shocked if Cornell doesnt get there without just being crazy sloppy which they were at times last week.   the weather may help cornell as we have played most of our games in this stuff and SU has played in the Dome or warm weather games almost all season long.

too bad its a night game and cold it will probably keep the crowd down.. not sure why this wasnt a 5pm start so there would be a decent amount of sun if there is any to be had. its gonne be cold once that sun goes down.

it will be an interesting matchup..  some teams have taken him away and cornell has been ok with that .  teat has shown one thing most of these other guys dont do and that is he likes to be a cutter too

Do I hear (radio broadcast) a band or recording of the Star Spangled Banner? I used to enjoy the lone violin playing it.

13-8 win. I tuned in at 10-4 and got a little frustrated but they pulled it together. Must have gone well at the X early but it looked tough late.

We won the bulk of the FO's in the 2nd and 3rd Q when the game was really decided. Terrific job by the entire team.  Statement delivered.

[Cop at Lynah]

Pretty even at the X all night.  Syracuse showed no offensive flare at all.  Very good win for the Big Red.  Teat had 6 points (I think). Offense was well distributed with 6 guys with 2 goals apiece.
