Cornell lacrosse 2020

[dag14]

I think Petrakis is coming off an injury [saw that posted somewhere] so that may explain the decision not to use him as much as might otherwise be the case.

[upprdeck]

felt like Cornell got no draws in the 2nd half but the stats were only 8-12 and it was cornell 5-4 in the 3rd when we got outscored 7-1..

Winning goal by our FOGO Angelo Petrakis who failed to get off the field after Teat had tied it at 17 with :18 left, PSU won faceoff turned it over, and Petrakis scores with :08. LGR!

I need to see highlights. maybe a full replay.

No no no!  Not 2009. The old days, I meant. When Syracuse and Cornell ruled the roost.

I think it was over the summer and fall. So he's still getting into shape. ::woot:: Also, he's still getting used to the college game. ::woot::::woot::

Meanwhile, Yale is on Spring Break this week. I bet T.D. is using this time to: (1) spend a day or two visiting the family in Victor, (2) studying film to learn the tendencies of Petrakis and Cornell's other FOGOs, and (3) watching film on little brother Chase's tendencies just in case he (T.D.) gets a chance to shoot on goal.

Our boys better be ready.

Cornell ruled the roost 1971 to 1977 with three championships. Circa 1972, well after the Jim Brown era at Syracuse, we won a game 21-3. We had a couple good years mid-1980s. Then it seemed like another 15 years before Cornell was a serious threat two years out of three. And meanwhile Syracuse had something like 22 years in a row into the final four (correction: 25 straight, 1980-2004). And 11 national championships. We've been to the final four, four times this century. We've had bad luck running into hot teams, or playing Maryland at Maryland too many times. I'm ready for not just another final four but a title game where we play a very good team with just-okay FOGOs.

To talk about more recent times for a second--if you could combine Cornell's 2009 defense/goaltending, 2013 faceoff and 2020 offense, I think you'd have an unstoppable team.

Unless they had to play some of those SU teams. There was a reason they were so dominant.

It's no longer possible to buy tickets for any Penn lacrosse game on Penn's website, so I assume that the game on 3/20 at Franklin Field is going be a no-go as far as spectators are concerned.

Any word about the Yale game? Since classes are going online, I assume the game is postponed, or to be played without a crowd.

Played without a crowd.

[Cop at Lynah]

No spectators outside of 3 allowed per team member (same as hockey).  ESPN+ will still be streaming the game.

Thanks, Jeff and Cop@Lynah.
