Cornell lacrosse 2019

[Swampy]

Inside Lacrosse ranks JT51 the #4 NCAA player in the country, and the 2nd male player.

Inside Lacrosse ranks JT51 the #4 NCAA player in the country, and the 2nd male player.

And TD Ierlan, now of Yale, is #5. Wonder how close the competition really was between Cornell and Yale to get Ierlan?

[TimV]

In my kinda humble opinion Yale is monstrously overrated. The same annual rates Yale as the Number 2 attack unit, the number 2 defense unit, the number 2 midfield and the number1 specialist (LSM, G, and Faceoff) unit in the country.

This after losing the Tewaarton award and leading scorer from last year, and relying on a thin defense that assumes their boy wonder defenseman Chris Fake will not have a sophomore slump or have offenses devise solutions for him.  The goaltender got good all of a sudden at the end of the year and will probably revert to the mean.  I like our attack much better, our SSDMs, our goaltending, and especially our faceoff unit - Racimovicz, Graham,and Hunter  as much deeper than Yales.  That will be beneficial in shootout games where there may be 25 or more faceoffs.  Our big question is the close D, and the impact of the new shot clock.

Inside Lacrosse is notorious for basing these ratings on the previous year's performance

STX and Inside Lacrosse are pleased to announce "The Season 2019," a five-chapter multi-platform video and digital content series that will spotlight two of the sport's most interesting programs: the historic Cornell Big Red men's team, and the hard-charging Florida Gators' women's team.

...

After leading the Big Red to an NCAA Quarterfinal appearance as the interim head coach last spring, Peter Milliman will aim to build on that success in his first full-time season. Cornell is led by a pair of preseason All-Americans in first-team attackman Jeff Teat and third-team midfielder Jake McCulloch and enter the season ranked No. 5 in Face-Off Yearbook.

...

The Season 2019 will build on the foundation laid by last year's groundbreaking effort, a four-team, 10-episode effort that amassed 1.4 million views across YouTube and ESPNU, making it one of the most substantial series in lacrosse history. Jason Ryan Creative is back on board to lead the production and bring their eye for compelling sports storytelling once again.

"The Season 2019" Chapter 1 will debut on Thursday, Feb. 14., and will include a behind-the-scenes look at the Gators' and Big Red's fall and return to campus after winter break. Visit www.TheSeason2019.com to subscribe and ensure you receive all the latest content as soon as it's available.

Way cool! ::dribble::

[billhoward]

Duke and UNC have probably played three, four games already. Our 0-0 record until February may help us in the polls if it's like Cornell hockey in the last 3 weeks of December.

[CU77]

Actually today is the first day of practice for all non-Ivys, per NCAA rule. First games are Feb.2.

[billhoward]

Looking at the schedule to see which home and road games are especially interesting, which might merit a trip back the. Of the pre-season top 20, we play 1, 8 and 10, plus 11, 13, 17, 19. Only #19 Princeton is at home.

Hobart at Hobart Feb. 24, is this a joke? A Friday game, if you go you won't get home in time to see RPI hockey at Lynah except the final period. Unless I missed the Lake Trouters construction of a dome ... a Friday game ... at dusk ... in winter ... where the average high temp in February is just above freezing at 2 pm. Then we skate against Union Saturday night, then Bucknell lax at Schoellkopf Sunday 1 pm. This could be a decent sports weekend. Ohio State wrestles at Friedman for Cornell's last dual match, Friday 6:30.

Yale lax is at home to Cornell Satureday, 3/16, 1 pm. 2 hours to play the game, 4.5 hours / 250 miles back to Lynah and you'd make the second period of the ECAC quarterfinals if you gassed up before parking in New Haven. This is the only away game in March (plus 2 neutral site games 3/8-9 in Charlotte).

St. Bonaventure lax at Schoellkopf Tuesday 3/19. The Bonnies' first year of D1 lacrosse. Unless Teat gets 10+ points, was it worth stepping back from playing, say, Bucknell or Army? Or Colgate?

Penn 3/23, Harvard 4/6, Syracuse 4/9 Tuesday 7 pm, Brown are all on the road. Albany 3/2, Penn 3/23 (hockey-in-Lake-Placid weekend), Princeton 4/27 at noon are home. Penn State and Towson are neutral field 3/8, 3/10 in Charlotte.

Gone from 2018: Colgate (after playing the past six seasons), Binghamton (10 matchups 2004-2018 from C9-6 to C19-4), Air Force.

We play:
1. Yale
2. Duke
3. Maryland
4. Cornell
5. Virginia
6. Loyola
7. Hopkins
8. ND
9. Denver
10. Syracuse
11. Penn State
12. UNC
13. Lehigh
14. Rutgers
15. TOSU
16. UMass
17. Albany
18. Georgetown
19. Princeton
20. Marquette

[TimV]

If I read this correctly, you list UAlbany on3/2 twice.  Only the home game is correct.

Thanks! The article is very informative, even though it doesn't mention the reinforcements we have coming in for faceoffs and for an already stellar attack. But most conspicuous, the article itself doesn't mention what most of us see as the biggest obstacle facing the Big Red this season. This was left to the article's "Enemy Lines" section, where presumably an opposing coach said:

They have to figure out how to deal with what people do with Teat.

Yep, that's my concern, too.  We shall see.

::deadhorse::::deadhorse::::deadhorse::

Jeez people!  Stop it.  I guarantee you the coaching staff has worked this out.  This team has a lot more this year that opposing defenses have to deal with, especially if Connor Fletcher steps up and fixes his shot accuracy.  Jake McCulloch and Jon Donville are serious midfield threats and I expect to see a lot of JJ Lombardi seeing midfield time.  Lombardi can both shoot and feed, and the idea of feeding from the top to cutters from behind and the wings when the defense is spread too far to slide will cause serious matchup problems to the defenses.  We've fixed faceoffs.  My main worry is the poles.  Doria is fine, Fleet Wallace needs to be more...fleet.  We need a third close D to step up.  Maybe Max Fields will be ready.

We'll also have to get our shots faster with the 80 second posession clock. We didn't stall last year - we worked the ball with multiple quick passes and wore defenses down or caused sliding errors.  We don't have that kind of time any more, but hey- we have players familiar with the box game, so the new clock rules should help us.

I wonder if we'll see more recruits from Canada based on your last statement?
