Cornell lacrosse 2019

[Swampy]

Continued from the Cornell Lacrosse 2018 thread:

Maybe Mike Schafer could talk to Milliman about making this a long-term career.

Given how many lacrosse players have been popping up who also play hockey (or is it hockey players who also play lacrosse?), they may have much more to talk about.

Had Matt Moulson picked up his crosse for the 2006 lacrosse season, at least in our dreams, we would have gone to the NCAA title game. We lost three games by four goals including a 10-9 first-round upset by UMass.

Congratulations to incoming GK, and Under Armour lacrosse AA, Chayse Ierlan on helping Victor lacrosse defend its fourth straight Section V championship and qualify for the Regional round in what Victor hopes will be successful defense of its fourth straight Class B state championship. It would be Ierlan's fourth year as Victor's starting goal keeper in lacrosse and his fourth year leading Victor to the state championship.

Also, for 2017-18 this would follow his fourth year as Victor's starting goalie in hockey and having led Victor to an undefeated season and state championship in hockey this past winter. For his efforts Ierlan was also named All-Greater Rochester Hockey Player of the Year.

When attending Cornell University next year, Ierlan (probably) hopes to bring his lacrosse save percentage, which is about 60%, up to match his hockey save percentage, which is over 95% ::woot::.

Ierlan has nothing to offer us for fall semester?

Not sure what you mean.

Who was the last Cornell athlete to play both hockey and lacrosse?

Harry Orr?  Does Bob Rule backing up Brian Cropper in 69-70 (but never playing) count?

And Glenn Mueller played basketball and lacrosse in 1971 and I believe 1972.

Is joke: What could he offer a school in the way of a fall sport if he plays winter and spring sports, too. Knowing that's only here for lax.

Maybe you were tongue in cheek, but sure it counts, he did everything else the team did. For a competitor it's hard to practice every day and never play. It takes a certain mind-set.

I think it would be really cool to have someone like Ierlan play GK for both hockey & lacrosse. And now that I understand Bill's joke, maybe fall soccer too.

But starting lacrosse season in February screws it all up. Maybe there's still a way to reschedule things.

Rule did play.  Started the 3rd period in a game at Princeton late in the season in which we had a big lead, but got pulled after giving up 3 goals.

This would certainly address the FOGO problem.

Albany Great Danes sophomore face-off specialist TD Ierlan is looking to transfer out to another school, multiple sources have told College Crosse. WNY Lax also reported the probable transfer.

Marisa Ingemi has heard from multiple sources Ierlan will likely attend Cornell next year.


Ierlan's brother, Chayse, will attend Cornell in the fall as an incoming goalie. Last year, the Big Red relied on sophomore Paul Rasimowicz, who went 51.8% on his draws last year.

TD Ierlan won 79% of his draws last year.  The idea of his attending Cornell is almost too good to be true.  But even if it is true, doesn't he have to sit out for a year after transferring?

Not if Albany releases him.

Ierlan story in IL today.

Face-off specialist TD Ierlan, the Albany star who completed the greatest face-off season of all-time in 2018, has been given his release to seek a transfer, multiple sources confirmed.

A source said his release is currently conditional and excludes teams that are on the 2019 schedule. However, there is an appeal process that could result in him being released to everyone.

Releases do not 100% mean that a player will not return. There is still a chance he could be a Great Dane in 2019.

Coach Scott Marr would not comment when reached by text message.

Two schools most rumored to be a destination — Cornell and Syracuse — are on the 2019 schedule, so those coaches are not allowed to contact Ierlan. Ierlan's younger brother Chayse, an Under Armour All-American goalie, will attend Cornell this fall. Unconfirmed reports have other destinations not on the 2019 schedule in the mix.

Ierlan won 79.1% of face-offs in 2018, the greatest single season in NCAA lacrosse history. The Danes graduate star attackman Connor Fields and his linemate Justin Reh, midfielder Kyle McClancy, longstick Troy Reh and others.

Drop 'em from the schedule!

Drop 'em from the schedule!

I had the same thought, although I suppose you would prefer not to cause any ill will.
