It is not uniquely labelled in my listings. I had to set my DVR to record all replays so that I would catch it. the description did not change from the first episode.

Exactly the same here as well.

With losses to his #2 and #3 teams, and wins over everybody else, including his #6 team, Quint ranks Cornell 13!!!

Anybody know why he hates Cornell?

He's been that way as long as I can remember.

Maybe he just figures if they cant win faceoffs how many games can they win

I find it hard to argue that Cornell is a top ten team, right now. They can be, but they must improve in certain areas. It's hard to argue with the negatives that Quint points out (emphasis added):

Quote from: Quint Kessenich, insidelacrosse.comThe Big Red had no answers for FOGO TD Ierlan and attackmen Matt Brandau and Matt Gaudet in a Saturday conference setback. Early shooting woes and a net loss in possessions were too much to overcome. Cornell is still very much a work in progress..Jeff Teat needs more touches. The first midfield shot 1-11. Big Red needs dodging threats who draw doubles. The team defense must tighten up, they are getting shredded. Cornell entered the game with the No. 39-rated defense on a possession and SOS-based model. The Big Red play St. Bonaventure and Penn this week.

Penn is much better than expected and will be a tough game this Saturday. I don't want to overlook St. Bonaventure, but if Cornell loses to team that has zero Division I wins in their history, then...

Here are the positives for Cornell, as per QK:

Quote from: Quint Kessenich, insidelacrosse.comThe positives: they can ride, pass the rock well, they form a wicked man-up (4-for-6) and give great effort. John Piatelli (4G, 1A) and Clarke Petterson (4, 2) stood out.

Not sure how any rational observer could rank Cornell well below a Towson team that it crushed.

And he'd be right. We are terrible in a very important aspect of the game.

5-0 in the first quarter, Cornell hasn't lost a faceoff yet. You can probably relax.

Bonnies are just outmatched today.

Truth be told the Bonnies right now are a mid-level DIII team at best.

It will be a different story when those freshman become seniors.

I realize that it was against terrible competition, but JJ Lombardi looked pretty good yesterday. Any chance he can get some more playing time? Depth is always a good thing, and I never understand why freshmen don't seem to make the field in lacrosse. It's not that way in hockey.

I also can't complain about that list, the Towson ranking being somewhat anomalous- they're getting a lot of mileage out of their wins over Loyola and JHU. But Towson aside, and maybe High Point that ranking looks OK to me. Other than those two teams, who do you think we deserve to be ahead of?

I think the Yale loss looked worse than it was - as pointed out on that game thread the defense was uncoordinated and left Gaudet too open. There were a couple of bad luck garbage goals from in close that Ierlan had no chance against. The offense was mishandling a lot of balls- fumbled passes that, while recovered, lost our usual ball movement advantage.

We need Ws against Notre Dame and Syracuse, if we get those I think we can have two routes to the Tournament. I would not be surprised to see a determined Princeton team coming off a loss to Penn, beat Yale this weekend. I'm shocked they aren't in Quint's top 20, but that seems based on W-L record and not how well they've played in losses to strong teams.

JJ is good, and will be a star. Would like to see him more.

Some freshmen see the field but it's highly player specific, roster specific, and coach specific. Current Cornell players who have seen significant minutes as freshmen included Teat (of course) Donville, Piatelli, Ierlan, Adler, Buczek, Doria, Licciardi, Bardwell, Tria, Racimovicz, Fletcher, Telesco, Teixiera, Salvatore, Rupp, Petterson, McCulloch, Bray, Wallace, and Ward.

List derived from season individual statistics from lax website. I think because the rosters are so large and the flow of players in and out or spot shifts it's just not as recognizable.
