Cornell lacrosse 2019

[billhoward]

Three guys - counting Rasimovicz who was pretty good after the 0-24 UAlbany Game and before his injury.  Subtract the Albany game and the Maryland playoff (that he played despite his injury) from his season stats and he was 140-104 for 57%.  Take out the Lehigh Game when he got injured and he was 133-86 for 63%. Only 6 players did better than that in D1 last year.

Four, counting Mitch Rothstein. If nothing else, we'll have a nice rotation of FOGOs and wear down most other teams' FOGOs. Of course, any individual FOGO's success also will depend heavily on wing play.

Maybe one could be a bruiser who bowls over the opponent face-guarding Jeff Teat. Sort of like the unheralded fullbacks who blew the whole open for Ed Marinaro. Dick Storto and then Bob Joehl, I believe their names were. Sorry, people under 50. This for you is like me being forced to believe Cornell football in the depression years was worth being told about.

Would be interested in how MD marked Teat.  If shut off for all or part of the game, how did we respond?

Story on Scrimmage from Inside Lacrosse

[CU77]

From the forum at fanlax.com:

was at the scrimmage yesterday and it was a beautiful, fall day in Ithaca!

As noted in the IL lacrosse article it was a very competitive, fairly even game, back and forth and plenty of action.  CU took more control of the game in the 3rd/early 4th before players were subbed. Clock had minimal effect and at times, the refs had some issue keeping up with the 20 second rule.

There was no face-guarding JT but the highlight for sure was Connor Fletcer bulldozzing his defender from outside on his run for a goal.   Certainly got everyone on the Big Red side and sideline excited.

This should be a fun season!

Optics.  Ivy branding depends on appearing, conspicuously, above it all.

The label is the product.

Inside Lacrosse ranks the "Top Incoming Men's Classes" (from September)

Virginia is #1, Yale is 2

Cornell #9
Under Armour All-Americans bookend the field in John John Lombardi (Salisbury, Conn.) at attack and Chayse Ierlan (Victor, N.Y.) in goal. Lombardi is a strong, dual threat who evokes memories of Rob Pannell, while Ierlan had an illustrious high school career. The offense will get contributions from Billy Coyle (Malvern Prep, Pa. / Hill Academy, Ont.), Henry Follows (Hill Academy, Ont.) and Billy Chabot (Rye, N.Y.), while a stable of longpoles is led by JQ Stramanak (Spalding, Md.)

Supposedly the Ivy football title is the THING.
