The faceoff disparity is just a joke at this point. Maybe Teat should transfer to Yale so he can touch the ball.

Quote from: billhowardPatriot League semis - Army 7, #7 (USILA) Loyola 5. They were our most quality win other than the 1-goal, uh, loss to #3 Penn. So we need to root for #9 Notre Dame in the ACC final Saturday 2 pm vs. Virginia.
Huh? Cornell didn't play Loyola.

Yep, did it again, conflated Loyota and Towson. We did beat Towson, which is only #12.

Although goals 1-2-3 were Teat's, right?

Would a Towson win and a Penn Loss move Towson into top 5 RPI and Penn out?

If so, then I think Cornell would likely be picked over Maryland.

No. But root for Towson anyway. Also Notre Dame, Lehigh, Yale, and PSU.

There's few enough games remaining that we should be able to predict final RPI's right? I'd be curious if there's any scenarios where Penn falls out of the top 5 and ND climbs into it, which I think would help our chances a lot. I have a bad feeling though. Yale is just an awful matchup with TD. I would have much rather faced Penn in the semifinal.

CU77 · May 04, 2019, 01:15:33 PM

Yes, a Penn loss and and ND win can push ND as high as #4 and Penn down to #6. Also, Cornell's SOS will be #3 in this scenario, Maryland's #16. It's hard to see Maryland taken over Cornell by the numbers, but that's why we have a committee of random humans: to add meaningless drama.

And yes, if Cornell had only managed to hang on to beat Penn, then Cornell, Yale, and Penn would have shared the regular-season Ivy title, Yale would have won the goal-differential tie breaker and have been the ILT #1 seed, Cornell #2, Penn #3.

Key game for Cornell is PSU-Hopkins tonight. ND being blown out now. Need a PSU win. Lehigh over Army would help, too.

And Hobart over Robert Morris in the NEC final (happening now).

Two shots to tie RMU in the last minute but off the mark.

Al DeFlorio · May 04, 2019, 06:22:07 PM

Georgetown win would appear to help for some reason.

nshapiro · May 04, 2019, 09:50:27 PM

Would a Penn loss let Towson move up to #5 in RPI, and Penn move down to #6?

If so, Cornell would have a top 5 (Towson) and top 10 (ND) win, and Md only would have a top 10 win (Penn)

This seems promising....

nice if that site is correct, but they have SU out by so much.

Al DeFlorio · May 05, 2019, 12:24:59 PM

Not getting any help yet today. Yale down by 3, Lehigh by 2 early.

Yale ties at 4. Lehigh down 3 and stymied by Army D.

Yale down 2, Lehigh up 2 at half. Penn +2 on faceoffs early 2nd half.
