Cornell lacrosse 2018

[mike1960]

Looking on the bright side: a win over Yale would not only secure the AQ, but also move Cornell all the way up to #9 in RPI, which would open up the possibility of a home game. I can see Cornell, with their wins over #6 Yale and #10 Cuse, getting the nod for a home game over #8 Denver, whose best win is over #12 Nova in this scenario.

Our defense and goalie are playing outstanding lacrosse. If the O can get back in rhythm and light it up, I really like our chances tomorrow!

End of the first quarter. Great game! Both teams are playing well. One thought: Double Reeves!  Make him a passer at least. Those goals are too easy.

Ivy champsionhip game: 14-8 Cornell thanks to a 9-1 run after a 6-5 halftime lead. Big Red no longer on the tournament bubble. Fabulous game on D all around and especially by Christian Knight. He wasn't doing bupkes a couple games back, maybe slow injury recovery, now it's great he stuck around for this year.

NCAA no longer can screw Cornell out of a tournament berth. Maybe send us on the road to Denver?

Cornell got scoring from 12 players including Jake Pulver into an open net from behind midfield, Yale from 4. Ben Reeves was 5-0--5; Jeff Teat for was 1-5--6. Yale goalie Jack Starr was 2x16, or 12.5%. (See Sieve.) Tournament MVP Christian Knight was 16x24, 66.7%, following Friday's 19x23.

Attendance was reported at 2609 following Friday's 2454. The Big Ten final at Michigan drew about 1,200. Columbia is a nice place for the tournament, sort of like the Switzerland of lacrosse.

Wonder if an interim coach has ever been coach of the year?

[CU77]

Fantastic win, heartiest congrats to all players and coaches!!!

Home game a possibility, have to see which direction the random noise added by the committee happens to point this year.

+1 Such a polite comment. Like a Junior Leaguer who says, "My, how nice" rather than "Up yours"

Another screw-job of Cornell by the selection committee in its respective sport.

[mike1960]

Robbed in the seeding. Carcaterra spelled it out: Conference tournament winner, higher RPI than Syracuse, and beat Syracuse head to head, but Syracuse gets the home game. Total nonsense.
