Cornell lacrosse 2018

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

22-11 final.

@ #1 Albany 14, Harvard 6
@ #4 Yale 12, #20 Penn 6
#14 Cornell 22, @ Dartmouth 11
@ Brown 14, Princeton 13 (winning goal with :14 to play)

The pre-season media poll was Yale, Princeton, Penn, Brown, Cornell, Harvard, Dartmouth.  Princeton is now 0-3 (to Yale, Penn, Brown) in league play. It's starting to look good for Cornell to slot in as the 2-3 team going into the Ivy playoffs. Yale is 3-0 with the 13-11 win over Cornell then doubling Princeton 16-8 and Penn 12-6.

Looking forward to the re-match with Yale. I think we'll see a different result.

Knight is still nursing some soreness and swelling due to the injury that occurred in the Penn game. Hopefully he'll be ready for the Harvard game but if not I'm sure Bullen will be ready to go. He's been playing great.

The Big Red's offense was clicking on all cylinders, as the visitors [Cornell] scored its 22 goals on just 27 shots on goal and assisted on 17-of-22 goals. ...
Dartmouth's goalie Alex Burnley made just five saves to post the lowest save percentage (.185) of any Big Red opponent this season.

.185 save percentage for Dartmouth would pretty much define "sieve." Interesting that Dartmouth didn't turn to a backup. Maybe Burnley is the widest guy on the team. https://youtu.be/LJz55az43QQ

The starting goalie for Dartmouth WAS the backup.  Their first string goalie broke his thumb.  And there are only 2 GK on the roster....

Well both teams were playing with backups.

does lax have club teams or intramural teams so they could have at least found a 2nd goalie if something else happened?

Perhaps a local Hanover, NH accountant might be available.

Love to see Cornell extend the school record three straight 20-goal games to four when Harvard comes to Schoellkopf Saturday. It's do-able: BU put up 18 against the Cantabs March 20 before losing in OT. Against common opponents Harvard beat Dartmouth 10-8 vs. our 22-11 win, and lost to Albany 14-6 vs. our 11-9 loss. On paper, this should be a W for Cornell except we can't look past them to Syracuse next Tuesday. Harvard's 7-2 record breaks down to 4-2 plus a two-goal win, a one-goal win, and an OT win. Harvard at best will finish out the season 2-2, could go 0-4 vs. Cornell, Penn, Princeton and Yale. All on the road.

http://www.insidelacrosse.com/league/DI/polls  Cornell climbs from 13th to 10th in the April 2 media poll. Albany remains #1 with all first-place votes. Yale climbs from 4 to 3, Syracuse from 10 to 8, Penn State climbs from 21 to 15, Lehigh holds at 17 and Harvard holds at 19.

Unbeaten Albany has played only two close games: 11-10 over Maryland, 11-9 over Cornell, and the next closest game was a 6-goal MOV. It plays at Yale April 22.

Kessenich has Cornell 8th. http://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/quint-s-top-20-rejoice/51798

8. Cornell — Jeff Teat led Cornell to a 23-7 win over Air Force on Tuesday. Clarke Petterson (3, 2) and Colton Rupp (3, 1) were productive.

The Big Red scored another 22 goals in a Saturday shellacking of Ivy doormat Dartmouth. It was step-down city for midfielders Connor Fletcher and Jordan Dowiak, as Jeff Teat drew all sorts of attention. Teat dished out eight assists [over 2 games, plus 3G vs. Air Force] and has ascended into the Tewaraaton discussion.

The Big Red have scored 20 or more goals in three-straight games. They tackle Harvard next.

I love how the Big Red players line up and salute their fans after a game and that George Bioardi's [Boiardi] legacy has become the fabric of the program.

Syracuse is hard to read.. Watched them play some tough teams well and then also got blown out multiple times.

Yes, but I think we can expect their best effort on Tuesday.

Bill, looks like while IL hasn't updated the USILA Coaches poll in several weeks, Cornell moved up a notch from 14 to 13 (via NCAA.com site) https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/lacrosse-men/d1/usila-coaches
